We can hope that the heat causes some problems to the tires and Engine performance . it would be good if there was a serious mix up this weekend . Redbull maybe on their home track . Its a short Track as well , I would hope that this helps in qual to keep some of the cars closer to the front like Mclaren who had a really good go last week . Bar any thing major happening I cannot see past Merc .

This is the first race this year I will not be watching live . ( Munster Final to go to, plenty of drama there )

FP1 over .
Stuff from the commentary , Mclaren look good with Sainz but he is starting at the back of the Grid along with Albon for engine upgrades.

Oddly Russell did well as he was only a tenth off Kimi , Ignoring Stroll as he used Hard tires for the session where as Kimi and Russell were both on soft .

Other note would be Ferrari times were set on Medium Tires only everyone else at the top were using Soft . maybe thats something

Trampas · 28-06-2019 1:08pm

Ferrari 2 more none soft tyres than merc. I guess merc will protect them for race

Cool_CM · 28-06-2019 2:32pm

Lots of front wing damage going on through P1 and P2. Hope everybody brought a few spares!

Cool_CM · 28-06-2019 2:47pm

Jaysus, 2 red flags and big crashes for Max and Bottas.

Joeface · 28-06-2019 3:06pm

FP2 seems like fun , Vettel off the same turn as Max but only damages his tyres

skipper_G · 28-06-2019 3:12pm

Sainz took all brand new power unit components so starts from the back and Albon has a 15 place penalty for new engine & MGU-K

Joeface · 28-06-2019 3:47pm

FP2 time sheet. Bit a mix up because of crashes at least.
Bottas changed parts in Fp1 cause of an oil leak and now after his crash . wonder will he have penalty of any sort for extra parts need.

At the back however bleak it is for Williams , Kubica is making it look bleaker or making Russell look awesome over a second between them.

Looks like the sausage kerbs are doing their job, teams complaining as expected.
And hot on Sunday, but very low danger of thunderstorm, what could have even be more exciting

He was on the slower (medium) tyre and did not get to complete a second fast lap in P2.

pjohnson · 29-06-2019 10:41am

9 front wings died between fp1 & fp2 +
Verstappen damaged his rear wing and Bottas did fair amount of damage to the front in general and Stroll minor damge to his floor.

The track itself is taking no shít from drivers. These kerbs should be at all tracks. This might actually be an exciting weekend.

pjohnson · 29-06-2019 10:48am

Hülkenberg gets new engine +5 grid spots.

Harika · 29-06-2019 12:18pm

Looks like a competitive race. The top teams close together and with the heat there is hope to end the Mercedes win streak

Cool_CM · 29-06-2019 1:50pm

Looking interesting for this weekend!

pjohnson · 29-06-2019 2:03pm

Magnussen new gearbox +5 like Hulkenberg. Albon will be P20 and Sainz P19.

Jordan 199 · 29-06-2019 2:04pm

It's a nice circuit to race around in Gran Turismo Sport.

Cool_CM · 29-06-2019 2:21pm

Jaysus, great reactions there from Dani K

Same in F1 2018- nice flow to it

christy c · 29-06-2019 2:37pm

Is this looking like a Hamilton pole followed complete shock from the whole Mercedes team?

Burkie1203 · 29-06-2019 2:38pm

Hamilton should be penalised. Stone wall pen for me. You can't drift across a corner like that

Jordan 199 · 29-06-2019 2:42pm

Well done to the Alfa drivers.

cherryghost · 29-06-2019 2:44pm

Call me cynical but I think Magnussen did that on purpose. He asked in the radio what position nhe was in and who was behind him.

He's into Q3 as a result of that

Rossi IRL · 29-06-2019 2:46pm

Seems like the kind of guy who would do that as well

What is going on in Ferrari?

Reckon he is out

Cool_CM · 29-06-2019 2:53pm

Feck sake, was looking so good for Ferrari!

Edit: Great lap by Charles and Seb is out of the car.

Itssoeasy · 29-06-2019 2:56pm

Well balls to that anyway. What did he do ?

Itssoeasy · 29-06-2019 3:01pm

Ferrari get the pole.

weekaizer · 29-06-2019 3:03pm

Fantastic!: hopefully Hamilton penalty incoming will then leave Leclerc v verstappen front row!!

Cool_CM · 29-06-2019 3:04pm

Huzzah! G'wan Charles! Real pity about Seb.

Joeface · 29-06-2019 3:04pm

Yeah it's a nice grid . Good mix

skipper_G · 29-06-2019 3:05pm

Great stuff from Leclerc, super lap.

Bottas messed up, showing once more he doesn't have what it takes to beat his teammate.

This has potential to be a good race

Zaph · 29-06-2019 3:05pm

Great to see it's not another Mercedes front row lock-out.

christy c · 29-06-2019 3:06pm

As Brundle said, Charles was in a class of 1. Even if Seb's car was ok I don't think he would have beaten him

More likely Kimi gets a penalty than Lewis :pac:

Jordan 199 · 29-06-2019 3:06pm

Excellent qualifying for Alfa Romeo. Seventh for Kimi and eighth for Anthony.

cherryghost · 29-06-2019 3:07pm

Chances of 3 place penalty for Hamilton then? :P

Itssoeasy · 29-06-2019 3:12pm

I missed Q1 so what exactly is Hamilton being investigated for ?

Turn 3 ran up the inside and went straight across the corner onto the run off on the far side as Kimi came along behind him
Hamilton was on a slow down lap

And after watching multiple replays, crofty still asked - did he impede Kimi. The man is getting worse every day. It is clear as day that he was in the way.

skipper_G · 29-06-2019 3:19pm

Vettel blocked Sainz here in Q2 last year, both got into Q3 and Vettel still got a penalty.

That Hamilton incident is surely a stonewall penalty, he drove across the ******* apex in front of a car on a flying lap. Russell should be getting one as well for the Kvyat incident, that was dangerous.

weekaizer · 29-06-2019 3:23pm

Writing is surely on the wall for gasly. Pity as I do like him but It must be a tough choice for Red Bull to choose between albon or kvyat as I’ve been equally impressed by both drivers this year.

Joeface · 29-06-2019 3:33pm

How long will they take to make the penalty decisions

Also Not sure it would be Danii going up if Gasly was to be replaced. Pretty sure he can match max and that's not what Redbull want. They just want someone a bit closer than Gasly is to run interference . I do still think its way too soon for that decision to be made . Redbull aren't really knocking on the door for wins yet. When they get to that level Gasly would certainly need to be caught up by then

Burkie1203 · 29-06-2019 3:33pm

Hamilton visits stewards in 30 minutes

Anything other then a grid penalty is a farce.

Can see him getting a 3 place penalty

Just watched it there now..... It was a little unfortunate where it happened. Only thing he could of done to avoid impeding Raikonen would of been to just stop completely.

skipper_G · 29-06-2019 3:46pm

Gasly being out qualified by a Haas, Mclaren and both Alfas.......yeah he's not covered himself in glory

flazio · 29-06-2019 4:05pm

I reckon it'll be a reprimand, keeps 2nd. Beats LeClerc into the first corner, drives off into the hills.

pjohnson · 29-06-2019 4:26pm

Transcripts have shown Bono mentioned twice to Lewis that first Raikonnen was behind him then that Raikonnen is approaching fast.

Doesn't match with Lewis post qualy excuse of saying he wasn't aware Kimi was coming.

skipper_G · 29-06-2019 4:39pm

Russell 3 place grid penalty for impeding Kvyat in Q1. No complaints, that was a slam dunk
