Channel 4 say they are showing an extended highlights show on Sunday from 2:20 to 4:55: https://www.channel4.com/4viewers/formu ... age-update

So they are showing quali and race back to back rather than allowing more race coverage I presume.

-K-

According to an article on Sky Sports, if quali can’t go ahead on Sunday, the results of Practice 2 will determine grid order for the race. https://www.skysports.com/share/11831808

Anyone know what Channel 4 are doing with regards to showing the qualifying highlights now it has been postponed?

-K-

Tried to watch it but ended up falling asleep.

Do all engine components carry the same penalty if the quota is exceeded? Is it 3 of each component allowed?

-K-

Who would they be fining, him personally or Haas? I don’t like the idea of a team fine as it might result in less being invested in the car, which isn’t fair on the drivers. Seb said in Canada that you would have to be a blind man, but he didn’t go as far as to say the stewards were idiots. Steiner ...

-K-

Mine too. It’s not just another typhoon, but a race at the track where Bianchi had his fatal accident. I am sure they send out the SC/VSC in more situations these days but with it being Suzuka and the recent tragic events... I don’t see it. Interesting to see that it is Gasly losing his drive for a ...

-K-

I think I’d change the points lower down first. Seems mad also that there are only 6 points between 2nd and 4th. In a grid of only 20 cars, I wonder if a return to only 8 points paying positions might be better.

-K-

I do wonder whether if Hamilton gets to 8 titles but doesn’t yet want to call it a day, might he relish the challenge of Max or one of the other youngsters? A fter what he said about Rosberg I think he would have to not be the reigning champion when he does finally call it a day, and if he comes ou...

I do wonder whether if Hamilton gets to 8 titles but doesn’t yet want to call it a day, might he relish the challenge of Max or one of the other youngsters? After what he said about Rosberg I think he would have to not be the reigning champion when he does finally call it a day, and if he comes out ...

Perhaps McLaren will go back to some silver when they move to Mercedes power. I was hoping new teams might come in to pick up some of those unlucky ones in the annual musical chairs, with a lot of seats not exactly open these days. It sometimes feels that everyone doesn’t want to hire from outside o...

-K-

That guy was perhaps quite glad Hamilton knocked his phone. It’s 4 years old rather than being brand new so there’s a bright side there and the value must have gone up when Lewis signed it

-K-

The hybrid era would likely have been more entertaining if he had been, that’s for sure. Ferrari have put out some good cars and some not good cars, and in 2019, it seems to be a 50/50 with their improvement since the break. Mercedes has largely had the best car so the championships would have been ...

-K-

In general terms I think a clear 1-2 is better for the drivers’ championship, but not necessarily the constructors’. Without looking closely at the results it seems to me that without Red Bull’s unreliability, Seb’s run of errors and a largely winless Kimi over the last couple of years, Mercedes wou...

-K-

One thing I don't see people talking about is the decision to pit Charles during that safety car period; costing him track position on Bottas. I thought that was foolish personally. His tires were fine and a restart behind Hamilton with a shot at slipstreaming his way to P1 was always a better bet ...

-K-

After Bianchi and Hubert, I don’t think a car is stopping anywhere during a race without bringing out a VSC/SC.

-K-

Am I wrong in thinking that Ferrari have fluffed the strategy again in pitting Leclerc for a second time? Russell would have allowed Hamilton the stop to get in front of him anyway, so the should Vettel have driven slowly to the pits question seems moot.

-K-

Something that just occurred to me while watching yesterday’s qualifying... change the rules so that you start the race on the tyre you set the fastest lap in Q3 on, rather than Q2 as is the case now. Therefore to get the often preferable medium starting tyre, it would be likely that the teams/drive...

-K-

Channel 4 have upgraded David Coulthard, says Steve Jones at the beginning of yesterday’s qualifying highlights. I hope that was a joke with David off temporarily as I prefer the Channel 4 team to the Sky one.

-K-

Alpha Tauri and Alfa Romeo? Might some accidentally start spelling one or the other the wrong way around?

-K-

They can do 4 teams if they get permission from the FIA, reading a quote from the regs in the comments on GrandPrix247. With the wording it seemed to me that they were going that route. Ferrari are already supplying themselves and 2 customer teams (barring say Haas going for a switch.) Honda’s curre...

Looking forward to your home race? Yeah... we're going to stick you at the back...

Was just thinking that.

Bet they wouldn’t do it to Max at Zandvoort.

-K-

I was between Max and Charles but just I think Max just edges it in terms of natural talent. He has also matured, whereas I started to wonder in Monza whether Leclerc might be at risk of heading the other way. I don’t think it’ll be George at the moment - I can’t see him going straight from Williams...

It's Grosjean and Magnussen at Haas for next year. Silly season indeed. Watched the Best of Team Radio compilation and just felt that Grosjean was looking for an excuse to pass some blame to the team again. “We need to stop talking in corners.” I may have missed something in the race however - I fe...

-K-

Part of me did wonder whether Bottas would have been managed differently in this race if he had got the job done in Monza (though I also felt that they should have let Bottas by to have a go on his fresher tyres earlier, rather than waiting for Hamilton to make a mistake and take the decision out of...

-K-

I need to watch it again. I must have been too busy laughing when it looked as though they weren’t going to make the start line. Needless to say I’d have been fuming a minute later had I paid to go there. Who would have thought that a driver that was once blocked in the pits at the end of quali, and...

-K-

Tragic. I don’t watch F2 and knew nothing about it until the Channel 4 qualifying show, but I did see some footage online later. Looking at the Chain Bear video, it is much clearer than any footage there is and the articles I’ve read, so I would recommend the Chain Bear version to anyone who may be ...

-K-

Next year seems a bit congested looking at the number of back to back weekends. It feels to me that it would be better to start the season in February rather than cram any more into March - November.

-K-

What are the allowances? I thought it was 3 of each but I don’t recall that many penalties.

-K-

I’m pretty sure I saw Albon say he wished he could have given it a proper go in qualifying to see where he would have ended up, so obviously he followed team instructions there. I won’t criticise him for that, only the team. Didn’t Stroll start the race ahead of him with the same penalties so he cou...

Räikkönen gets a podium during a wet Monza race.

-K-

Do away with superlicence penalty points and deduct championship points instead. Has anyone ever been disqualified from a race for accumulating too many in the 12 month period? It doesn’t seem like much of a deterrent when most offences seem to attract 2 at the most, though it could open the door fo...

-K-

I’m going for a narrow win by Leclerc. I can see more mistakes creeping in for Seb as Charles starts to close the points gap.

-K-

Interesting to see so many team mates with differing tyre selections for this race. Makes sense for Red Bull to be taking the penalties at Ferrari circuits, bet they wish they did Alex and Max’s the other way around though! I’ll mix the predictions up a bit and say Hamilton splits the Ferraris in qu...

-K-

A good race from Charles I thought, especially as it was talked about how his tyre management wasn’t so good before the summer break. On this occasion Seb did a good job in holding up Lewis, who didn’t look so good in taking so long to get past him given that he was on the radio saying he wasn’t tha...

-K-

Might 24 races finally see them order the races in a logical fashion? Though not sure how much of a difference that would make.

-K-

Not for me. I would first look at drivers who have won WDCs with more than one team, which puts in Schumacher, Hamilton, Prost, Fangio, Graham Hill (being the only holder of the triple crown would help his case for inclusion), Lauda. Then there is Senna who probably would have done had it not been f...

-K-

I can’t see Hulk ending up anywhere other than Haas, if he opts to stay in F1. As much as I would like to see Kimi and Hulk, especially as Giovinazzi hasn’t shown much, I don’t think Alfa would be wanting perhaps the oldest line up on the grid. The 2nd seat is for a Ferrari development driver and Ni...

-K-

I thought that his contract should be extended in this instance, though I wouldn’t have had much of an opinion either way had they opted to drop him last year. He is currently having his best season since joining the team so to have dropped him now would perhaps have sent out a worse message than Re...

-K-

By definition there will always be a number of all time greats, and I think by now, Lewis qualifies. His first two seasons were very good, but I think had he not won another title after that, then he wouldn’t have made the list. Sebastian very quickly broke the record of being the youngest driver to...
