Michael Schumacher scored his first win as a Ferrari driver in 1996 at this circuit.
Mika Hakkinen while leading in the McLaren Mercedes coasted to a halt with clutch failure half way round the final lap in 2001, handing victory to Michael Schumacher in the Ferrari.

Back to Sunday afternoon race times for the rest of the Summer.(Yay)

We should see RedBull come to the fore over the next few races. Expect Max to have the title all but gaurenteed come Spa.

Only think i hope for is a few rainy weekends.

I was hoping to get to a race somewhere over the summer but the prices are farcical or sold out.

Anyway, i have Abu Dhabi flights and tickets booked for later in the year.

Very nice. How hot is it over there?

Andrew76

There’s a new bridge/building that crosses over the track just before turn 10.

F3 Qualifying now, Alex Dunne P9 was half a second off the fastest practice time so could be in the mix.

27 but feels like over 30! No alcohol either and they’re charging €9 for a non-alcoholic pint, thankfully the grandstand is completely in the shade and very comfortable!

That's OK. Awe OK.

Frank Bullitt

Race runs at the end of FP2 have Max 3-4 tenths per lap out front…

Danica Patrick on Sky Coverage for the weekend. 🥲

Are they Academy cars?

They are. We were at the track early this morning

Lovely to hear. 😁 From what I saw of FP1, Norris looks like he’ll be close again.

We have two boardsies at this race? Great stuff. 😎😎

rameire

Will there be a collaborated race commentary provided by the boardsies ?

Andrew76

F3 sprint race just about to start. Alex Dunne starts 4th I see, nice!

Andrew76

Dunne up to 2nd after 3rd place took out his teammate in 1st (don’t note their names 😁). Safety for different crash I think.

Andrew76

Damn, safety car will last the rest of the race so 2nd place for Dunne, pretty good that.

He's one of several drivers noted for a possible false start, 2nd not guaranteed yet 😕

Yeah saw that just as they finished the race. Fingers crossed he keeps the position.

Charlie-Bravo

Fire at the McLaren paddock building has been referred to by the fire services. No info on any injuries just yet. Reported that the fire may have been electrical and started below the ground floor. Sky reporting they're not sure if race suits and helmets are affected.

Andrew76

Very close between all top 4 teams on their soft tyre quick laps (excluding Perez of course…). Quali will be super tight for pole.
Sainz, Norris, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell.

Andrew76

Jayzus, more road rage as Ant puts it - drivers bumping into each other when getting blocked on fast laps. Leclerc bumps Norris and Stroll bumps Hamilton earlier (damaging his own car the idiot).
Defo penalty for Leclerc, lost the plot he did.

flazio

Not hearing any more rumbling so it looks like this is going to stand.

They just put up the stroll incident on their YouTube, looks bad for Lance...

Both incidents fromStroll and Leclerc very similar to Vettel in Baku a few years back when Hamilton brake tested him (although that was in the race maybe?). I’ll be surprised if either driver escapes a penalty for todays antics.

Andrew76

Wow, what a time to go on board with Bortaletto so we miss the overtake. Jesus.

I'm managing to fit in an episode of Murder She Wrote before qualifying.

Not up to listen to the build up from Danica Patrick ?

Andrew76

Afternoon folks.

Burkie1203

Reprimands for stroll and leclerc are a joke.

Andrew76

Reprimand for both Stroll and Leclerc, lucky boys.

Itssoeasy

qualifying and races at good times for us on this side of the world. Can’t beat it.

Amateur hour from Sargent there

Croft is such a twat. Bringing up the sabotage crap again because Lewis had a poor lap.

Jordan 199

Gasly is doing good.

The alpine has come on quite a bit since start of season to be fair.
