Classsix T Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Is the track expected to be unusually "green" with the lack of race meetings upon it, or is it much of a muchness after all the practice sessions? C6T. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the pressure being off, would it not be ironic if he drove this year with a brilliance that he has not shown for quite a while. On recent form, and with Ferrari already having dampened any expectations for the next two races, it could be argued that he's already in one.... I've suspected for a while that young M. Leclerc has been making the car look better than it really is. John Edited July 4, 2020 by Dunsignalling 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of it was from practice yesterday, they were allowed to practice starts at the end of P2. Additionally F2 and F3 races are also supporting F1 this weekend. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2020 Bit of a shame they haven’t used the gaps in the usual tv format to include summary’s of the F2 & F3 races for a bit of extra publicity without stepping on actual race footage rights.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm not sure I've quite grasped the bubble concept - I don't think the term is used here - but it appears Seb hasn't, either. He should be in the Ferrari bubble, but has been snapped chatting to his former employers at Red Bull, Horner and Marko. Perhaps he doesn't care any more. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 There was a shot on a Sky of Horner & Binotto talking, the rope separating their areas was there but they were both practically touching it. Both had face masks on. I think parts of the paddock can mix so long as socially distanced with masks etc. Journalists outside the paddock (ie on the circuit) cannot mix with those inside. Sky said over 4000 tests undertaken so far on the paddock personnel and so far all - ve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold StuAllen Posted July 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2020 Looks like Lewis has got a 3 place grid penalty for ignoring yellow flags when Bottas went off in qualifying. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1977 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A thought I've had for a while - should drivers who go off the track during qualifying, causing a red or yellow flag be penalised, in the same way as impeding someone's qualifying lap are? I know generally speaking (with a couple of notable exceptions) people don't go off the track on purpose, but by and large drivers don't impede each other on purpose either. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please not more penalties ....the grid drops for engines etc are bad enough let alone a penalty for trying too hard, overcooking it and god forbid making it exciting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a strong argument for that in the last two laps duration of the qualifying session, in that if you already have a good time, there's the potential for preventing anyone else matching it as the session nears its end. The upside from Hammy's POV is that it will be Bottas who takes the hit from Maximum Optimism...
