I wouldn't have a problem with teaming up with Jezza again, but since he is not sure about committing full time and Strider is alone, I could team up with Strider. Strider, if you're in as well in teaming up, pm me so we could discuss a team name. PS: i am horrible at picking names. :-| :-| :thumbu...

RB may have got it right but Ferrari is close. Lewis could not beat last year's undeveloped RB time. Max only beat it by 0.5, why were the gains for little from last year? Perez was only 0.3 up on his time last year. Differences in tyres? McLaren found 1.8 seconds though. Interesting that Leclerc 2...

JN23

So it looks like we have 15 entries for this season. The following don't have teammates yet: donr Fountoukos13 Jezza13 Herb Strider Jezza13 on the last page said he thought over the break that he would enter on his own this year. donr & Herb teamed up in Team A last year so I suggest that they carry...

Poor from Hamilton there, lot of work for him to do. Super tight quali behind Max, 0.3 covering 2nd to 9th Yes looks like Russell had 2 sets of new tyres for Q3, however are we allowed to discuss Mercedes things? Of course we're allowed to discuss Mercedes things, it's daft to suggest we aren't. I'...

I'm skeptical that Leclerc was on used tyres if he's that close to Verstappen on new tyres. I think they were "used" in the sense that he did an out lap on them in Q1 but then came into the pits, so they hadn't really been pushed. Basically as new as "used" tires can get. I believe it was the same ...

JN23

My take on the one lap pace pecking order here:

1. Red Bull
2. Ferrari
3. Aston
4. Mercedes
5. McLaren
6. Haas
7. RB
8. Williams
9. Stake
10. Alpine

JN23

Is it me or have they changed how the colours work on the laptimes, how is Piastri green sector 1 and green sector 2 when he was slower than Max in both Green is personal best. Purple is best of anyone. I always thought the reference was Pole / Safety The + or - figure you see is reference to faste...

Well there goes that hope. Verstappen's pace advantage over Leclerc is basically the same as it was last season.

Interesting that Leclerc was slower in Q3 than Q2.

Yeah he needs to be at least equal with Russell generally. 3rd to 9th is a big gap.

JN23

So after all that, Leclerc is 0.064s closer to Verstappen than he was last year.

So the Mercs have some pace but just gamble all the time.

Track evolution is quite big though so they need to. Had they set their times when Ferrari set there's then I think Russell was in trouble. Hamilton probably would have been fine but he wouldn't have been fourth.

It's only 4 tenths up on their pole from last year. We still have hope!

sounds like everyone else was on used tyres anyway so not a perfect comparison

Not good for Alpine

I suspect they're going to be awful in the races but decent showing for Haas there.

Based on this session, the bottom of the grid pecking order over one lap looks to be:

7. Williams
8. Haas
9. Stake/Alfa
10. Alpine

JN23

Sainz seems to have the pace over Leclerc so far this weekend.

JN23

Difficult for Perez though in a car that requires a driving style completely different to his preferences The car if anything looks more understeery right now which definitely suits Perez's style. There is really no point arguing against the incredible poor hand Perez has been dealt time and time a...

That does not mean at all that he was afraid of the Finn. Schumacher was probably the first driver to understand that having a relatively weak teammate increased not only his chances of winning races, but more importantly the WDC, and most likely picked that up from Briatore. McLaren's 2007 season ...

JN23

Now we’ve seen quali sims in this session, I’m prediting this top six for qualifying:

1. Leclerc
2. Sainz
3. Verstappen
4. Russell
5. Norris
6. Hamilton

JN23

The Times are reporting that there’s rumours of a second email landing later today:

Horner not on the pit wall. Kravitz just said he’s meeting Ben Sulayem.

Edit: back on the pit wall now.

JN23

Scott Mitchell-Malm has tweeted that he hasn’t received any legal threat about publishing anything related to this. He also said he’s not aware of anyone else receiving such threats, though that doesn’t mean they haven’t.

JN23

Why would he need to beg for forgiveness from Red Bull - honestly what did he actually do that was that bad from the company perspective? The biggest issue is its bad PR but that is not his fault it is the fault of the leak It's the fault of the leak and Horner. Horner sent the messages (assuming t...

JN23

Mohammed Ben Sulayem and Stefano Domenicali are going to meet to discuss the situation. This article details some of the options open to them (FIA mainly): https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia- ... /10581683/

JN23

Yeah, I think this leak confirms someone is out to get him. I suspect this ends at some point with Horner resigning. The only other outcome I can see is him digging in, pointing to the independent investigation absolving him on a professional level and instead saying that this is now a personal mat...

What about for double points using the sprint race as another chance for points? 4 sprint weekends and you select the 1-2-3 for the sprint so that's your opportunity to score extra points with the same format as now. Can have the same scoring system or drop it to 3-2-1. If we go for having to manua...

Trying not to get excited here.

JN23

We might be about to find out more than we thought:

JN23

How even are the cars in practice in F2?

JN23

So one fluke result can determine you're exceptional, KMag got a pole position for Haas not long back, with Alonso he finished below his teammate in the WDC, exceptional would be more like podiums because actually scoring points now and again doesn't seem to really register. No, I never said that. ...

Haas look absolutely miles off. Maybe seeing these numbers is what caused them to sack Steiner.

What was that about Andretti not being competitive enough to join?

JN23

Verstappen going fastest before calling everything ‘sh*t’ probably isn’t a good sign for everyone else.

JN23

Another bump - the more the merrier! Totally agree! I think it's the longest running game we have? JN23 might shout at me if I got that wrong though. The oldest threads for both the Pick 10 and Pick 3 are 2013 so looks like they are the same age, unless there were prediction games on older versions...

Another bump - the more the merrier! And it's always appreciated :D It's such a great competition, so good I ran it myself for a while after the previous person didn't really have the time to run it himself, people should try it.

Quick banker in case a meteorite hits me tomorrow, disabling me sufficiently to prevent posting after practice but leaving me alive to contend in a week's time:
If this happens now, consider buying a lottery ticket.
