    The road to Le Mans series on youtube is worth a watch. He crashed quite a few times in that. Saw a bit of the ELMS race at Paul Ricard. He crashed there early on too. Good job he has loads of money :D

    There's a series of videos on the porsche YouTube channel about his Road to Le Mans, well worth a watch

    Why are they are putting a huge sticker onto the track moments before the race starts?

    Thanks. I thought there were 5 compounds last year. Have they gotten rid of one compound this year?

    To protect the tyres a little bit :pac:

    Love listening to Rosberg, he speaks sense from experience.

    Anyone know what the temp is?

    For all the talk about how hot it is no one has said actually how hot it is.

    Track temperature was mentioned at 50 degrees not so long ago.

    I have to say, I'm actually enjoying Rosberg. Just keeps to the point, and explains alot on this.

    Five compounds still - C1, C2, C3, C4, C5!

    The C5 was not selected for any of the initial 8 races, as you can imagine it struggles to even last a lap.

    First corner should be exciting with such a long stretch from the start finish

    So far Max can match Hamilton. This is great. It’s a pity the track is not more suited to overtaking.

    Bottas is starting to creep up on him though

    Sounds like every one is managing tyres and managing gaps, not sure if anyone actually wants to pass on track. This is a tyre race

    Yes, it was too good to be true. I was hoping that Max’s tyre management would be better than the Mercs.
