I do believe there is a rule that allows them to use free practice times to form a grid.

And while changing of TV times might be an inconvenience, safety of the drivers is of the upmost importance to me as a fan of f1.

In another life, Jules spun off and hit the barrier resulting in a race retirement, no harm done. The rain that day took the majority of the blame, but it was ultimately, very preventable.

Some crazy tyre strategies, pit crew in rain gear and flippers, Hamilton’s hair gets all wet and frizzy, This is probably the only chance of an entertaining race we have had in awhile, I didn’t even watch the last couple which hasn’t happened in ten or so years.

Imagine driving your own car and you have some sort of failure that means you are heading for a wall. The last thing you would want to do is mash the accelerator into the floor.

recyclebin wrote: » I've a feeling Renault could pull out at end of 2020 season. They won't want to spend a load of cash on the new cars post 2021. The McLaren move back to Mercedes is more than meets the eye in my opinion. It points to them knowing Renaults future plans. Mercedes are not supposed to supply 4 teams under the current regulations.
El_Duderino 09 wrote: » Renault is due money in the future. When they joined there wasn't money at the time so the contract says they start getting legacy money from 2022 (I think). And according to Joe Saward, the current Renault boss is more keen on f1 than the last one who brought them Into the sport.
