Haas has also gone for racesuits, I think Haas done an excellent job with livery and racesuits. They look fantastic

All they are missing now is Daniel Ricciardo in a Haas Suit. A pity he did not even consider going to Haas.

I wonder will Daniel say anything about it this weekend.

He's too busy riding around on a horse looking a bit foolish. With how bad he's been with Mclaren, you wouldn't blame any team for not wanting him

flazio

Well, that's Schumachers seat safe for next year then.

PsychoPete

7 minutes in and Gio already into the barrier

Ghost Train

Lucky he got it out, hopefully no damage at the rear

Edit: session over for him ouch

flazio

Jennie Gow on the BBC is hearing it needs a new gearbox.

This is it

Are we expecting Ferrari to be quick at this track or will RB run away with it? LeClerc and Perez taking penalties I think?

Not in English but you get the idea

Joeface

FP1 results.

Jordan 199

Ocon has a Spiderman themed helmet this weekend:

PsychoPete

Schumacher getting no luck again

Burkie1203

Tyres being shredded here in FP3

PsychoPete

Plenty of penalties for tomorrow. Alonso with a 5 place penalty for engine, Leclerc with a 10 place penalty for engine and turbo, Checo with a 5 place penalty for engine and Zhou with a 5 place penalty for engine

Lawlesz

Oh god, I forgot Americans call them straight ways 😬

Faugheen

Ha, Croft catching Brundle having no interest in what he was saying about launching the Vegas GP in a couple of weeks

Longing

Anyone else amazed how much the Mercedes front wing moves up and down from braking to load on wing. Just by the TV camera it looks like a couple of inches.

He is hosting the launch party, not the kind of luck you'd hope for in Vegas 😆

It was just the way he was going on about and then says Brundle would be on the guest list.

”what’s that for?”

McFly85

Sainz on pole! The Ferrari looks seriously fast around here, shame Leclerc is taking his penalty

AMKC

Great lap from Carlos well done to him.

I really love this track.

Ha and they thought Hamilton was going to get on pole nope not this race or this year. When will they learn.

thefa

Wonder will it just be a case of RB having the better race package again and the Ferrari deg hurting their performance. Hard to see past Verstappen but there could be some interesting situations with LeClerc & Perez trying to get up the field for second in the championship. Hamilton and Russell beside each other. Thought earlier in the year Hamilton would catch him once he regained form but 27 points between them now and a better result for Russell here would almost clinch it for him barring DNFs.

Disaster of a grid walk so far.

PsychoPete

Love that ex drivers and older drivers always have time for Brundle. Interviewing celebrities is nearly always a disaster

Burkie1203

Brakes on Hamiltons car being pulled apart

This is it

The misses just called Brundle "cringy", I missed it all bar Lawrence Stroll and the guy from Green Day

ShamoBuc

Danke Didi - the sound went fairly crap for a few minutes there.

Busi_Girl08

That was a nice tribute to the Red Bull co founder.

In fairness he got a few green day songs in, but the drummer didn't seem too impressed.

Sound issues now, technical and with the singer.

Cool_CM

So much 'Murica

I'm always amazed at the media and other commitments from the drivers pre-race.

15 mins to go and George is talking to Sky and Hamilton fist bumping the kids.

I'd always imagined you need to be in the zone, but I suppose there is still plenty of time and it probably happens during the parade lap.

It was nice to see Tre-Cool in an Adidas t-shirt 😎

ShamoBuc

Still workinh on 'Hamilton's car - brake issue, pulling to one side.

PsychoPete

Having Danica Patrick on f1 coverage offers absolutely f*** all insight

I drive to the mall in my gas guzzling Cadillac 😉

Faugheen

It amazes me at how calm the mechanics appear to be.

Itssoeasy

Seems like I missed the fun and games of the grid walk. Trying to multitask between the nfl and the F1.

that’s the Texans cheerleaders crofty ffs.

Itssoeasy

was Danicas insight as riveting as it normally is ?

Faugheen

Max overtaking on the formation lap.

Should be relegated to a pit lane start for that. Shocking disregard of the rules.

ctrl-alt-delete

Disaster for Sainz.

Must have been tagged by a merc

Faugheen

Ah well. That’s that I guess.

McFly85

Poor auld Sainz

PsychoPete

Oh Sainz, what a disaster

ctrl-alt-delete

Looks bad from Russell

Jordan 199

Great start for the Aston Martin drivers.

This is it

Christ almighty. He'll get a bullshít penalty as well.

PsychoPete

Russell causing a collision yet again

Faugheen

Yeah, that’s all on Russell.

Rotten luck for Sainz.
