Anyone notice how high Leclerc sits in the car?

His head is above the rear of the halo.

Also talks of Mercedes having got a clever innovation on their cooling system allowing them bursts of extra power within the same engine mode.

Currently all hearsay.

Mercedes won't be running anymore till after the lunch break. Hamilton will take over. So much for Bottas' first day of running.

Bottas is on track

I don't have an issue with Hamilton's tax status but I've seen that graphic a few times and it's kind of a stretch. For a start Hamilton has been an MBE for years and nobody cared about his tax status so we can only compare him to Stewart who was knighted in 2001 just after selling a business based...

It would be nice, and less hypocritical if he paid his taxes in the country that just honoured him. Not this absolute rubbish again. Hamilton is one of the top 5000 taxpayers in the UK. Its disgusting hypocrisy. https://i.redd.it/zgtibi383l861.jpg Source: Reddit I don't have an issue with Hamilton'...

AMuS are claiming Hamilton has tested negative in his latest Covid test. He can fly to Abu Dhabi tomorrow but will have to again take a test tomorrow before being allowed inside the paddock. He can only sit in the Mercedes car on Saturday onwards. Russell may be allowed to run in FP1 & 2 & then he ...

@ChrisMedlandF1 Masi explains how cars were released for Q2 with a crane still out on track: Clerk of Course informed Race Control the crane would be gone by the time cars reached Turn 8, then crane got delayed so Masi extended yellow flag zone to cover it. Would've delayed Q2 if he'd known. This i...

Three-place grid penalty for Sainz for impeding Perez

Mind you, it doesn't mean that Stroll necessarily listened to his engineer's advice. Track conditions were improving so it's not out of the question that he generally went quicker while still showing a delightful courtesy to the yellows.

Im guessing he didn't lift.

What's the difference between a single waved yellow and a double waved yellow, is it how much you need to slow by?

Single - Slow
Double - Slow and be prepared to stop.

Norris and Stroll first two drivers definitely under investigation for yellow-flag infringements - Norris for Q1, Stroll for Q2

@via twitter

Actually may have been his pole lap when Perez spun. Maybe this is why his engineer sounded miserable as he knew.

Why the f**k did Q2 start with a tractor still moving a car off track? It could easily have been delayed by two minutes to avoid it.

After the unlapping under safety car incident last race, that was really not good to see.

Mind blowing

Clarky

I am wondering about the benefit of Max qualifying second if he has to start on the dirty or greasy side of the grid. He may get freight trained by the two Racing Points at the green light tomorrow. Wet or dry, it seems it will be an interesting start and first lap. The track is equal on both sides

Raining apparently

Mercedes have tweeted a picture of the debris feom under Bottas' car. Not surprised it was difficult to drive. I think he's a great number 2 driver, people just get annoyed because it leads to predictable results due to the Mercedes dominance Amazed Albon has lasted the season. His performances hav...

Is this lack of practice on Friday just scheduling related, or is it another attempt to test format changes for cost savings?

Lorries couldn't get there in time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oo9XZ_r3Hs Hmm, while bad language is often understandable, I think took it too far for even if being a much larger incident. Some of his moves last year and before that were pretty stupid at times. He shouldn't make it sound like he was 100% innocent in this, but t...

What could Hamilton mean by movement in his steering wheel?

I noticed it in qualy yesterday.

The message was deliberate so we could all hear it.

From Twitter: Lewis Hamilton on his way to grid... Hamilton: "A lot of movement in my steering wheel. Were you not able to fix my steering wheel last night?"

Bottas: Q3 - 1:25.269
Hamilton Q2 - 1:25.390 +0.121
Hamilton Q3 - 1:25.525 +0.256

Both Hamilton's Q2 and Q3 laps were slower than Bottas in Q3 so the question is how did Hamilton cross the line first????

Are they using A combination of Hamilton’s Q2 and Q3 sector times? He was faster in Q2 than Q3 so perhaps his best times combined would have given him the time faster than Bottas got in Q3. I’m just guessing, would have to go back and watch to work it out.

The video says Q3 mini sectors.

Clarky

Right, I've got some questions to be asked about the time gaps between Hamilton and Bottas or if the official F1 video and other media are incorrect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Uc10ZbLoM If this is both Hamilton's and Bottas's best runs, then something doesn't add up.

I'm guessing to keep all things equal as Bottas had to go back out on the softs.

Not Hamilton's problem.
