    Gasly is looking racy.

    With no tow either, very interesting.

    There’ll be lots of messing trying to get the tow, could definitely throw up a surprise or two. Also a big risk of a red flag so important to get a banker lap in, and not be at the end of the queue.

    Even bigger chance of a yellow flag which would disrupt some flying laps. I bet there'll be some controversy where someone goes down an escape road, bringing out yellow flags.

    BBC suggesting that reliance on DAS to warm tyres last year means they're actually out of practice and not good at warming tyres anymore. Could be something in it.

    Mercedes is famously easy on tyres, partly by not overheating them. So the often struggle when it comes time to heat the tyres quickly.

    That wasn't always the case. I remember them being horrendously harsh on their tyres back in the early 2010s, especially at more rear-limited tracks.

    As far as i know, Hamilton didn't say he spotted it from the cockpit. He said he saw it (we've all seen it). Anyone have a quote of Hamilton saying he saw it from the cockpit?

    Yeah Schumacher used to chew through the rears in particular back in those days. But the last few years they have been very good on tyre wear while also being fast. And this year in particular, the Mercedes being easier on tyres than red bull has given them much greater options on tyre strategy than red bull.

    A Gasly pole would be great craic. Just gets better and better with every race.

    Someone mentioned on Sky a few bumps before turn 15 which is causing huge issues, wheels bouncing and struggling for grip. Can see it on the replays

    Why is turn 15 such a pain in the arse this year? It doesn't look any different to previous years.

    Before Paul Di resta said it that there was no changes to the corner, I was wondering had they made some massive change to the corner outiside of bumps which are part of street circuits.

    They'll probably make some adjustments to turn 15 for next season at this rate :rolleyes:

    Hamilton got a huge tow in the 3rd sector, picked up at least 0.6 seconds there.

    That long straight at the end and the tow is completely unfair.

    Every driver can do the exact same thing if they wish so how exactly is it unfair?

    Whatever about Lando’s penalty being slam-dunk or not, that release by Aston Martin is stonewall. Stupidity.

    I know that but generally I don’t think it’s good to have a straight that long on an F1 track.

    Same way that everyone flexing wings but merc think its unfair. Petulant toto refusing interviews then calling Horner a wind bag, that was hilarious. I would imagine Horner was delighted with that reaction hah

    The f*ck has that got to do with the tow being unfair or not?

    Utterly bizarre post.
