Rosberg in the same car managed 7 wins in a row (end of 2015 into 2016), so it wasn't the car at fault.
Albon’s black and white helmet looks cool. 90% chance of rain during FP3 they said.
Wonder what these numbers on the pit floor mean?
Grid coordinates.
Look forward to having this on. If it's defo live on Channel 4.
Pretty central marker for Silverstone. I'd guess the person sitting in that seat gets to drive the car when either Lewis or George refuse.
Think the whole weekend is on channel 4
Yes it is.
Rain now :)
Why would Lewis or George Refuse to drive their car?
I just think from their musings they are losing faith in it, and the team can't seem to improve it. This rain won't help either.
Obviously, they won't refuse - it was a joke
Awe OK.
Lots of rain now :) Good
Alex Albon up in second :) 7 minutes to go.
Let's hope we get some rain in Qualifying and for the race too and it will be a great weekend if racing.
On the issue with the McLaren mech running down to take the blower off the back of the car.
They said it will probably have to be looked at afterwards because your absolutely not allowed to cross the white line.
There was an FIA guy and a Marshall both standing where the McLaren pulled in and neither of them attempted to stop that guy.
Seems a bit silly, them being there and not intervening
Alex Albon and James Vowles are making me really want Williams to do well. I have hated Williams since 1996 when I started watching f1 properly. I feel grubby, even though Williams are clearly the massive underdog now and not the championship winners...
Also, what should have happened?
Leave the blower on? (obviously not), but is someone else supposed to do it? What happened was quite safe.
It did look pretty safe, if anything came of it you'd be pretty annoyed. Even if it was a case that the mech was stopped until given the all clear by the marshal maybe?
Hopefully it won't go anywhere.
The F2 Sprint could be a bit of craic with all this rain.
All aboard the Vesti train.
And a bit of craic it was.
Doohan waving at Bearman as the latter skated off the track was a personal highlight 😂
How do you guys feel about today's Qualy session? Do you think there would be some big shocks along the way?
Hopefully.
Ye there's the Danny boy.
Is Jamie Chadwick playing F1 23 on the simulator?
Its a bit damp, probably will see a few surprises if it stays like this
Mixture of tyres for this first run.
I see some are on the inters and some on the sliks. Should be fun. It can either get dryer and faster or wetter. I am hoping for wetter.
Defo looks like slick tyres are best right now.
And Lewis spins :)
Oh lewis spins
Hamilton out early, and loses it before completing his hot lap.
