F1 2023 season

[waspish]

Now that be good to have as the build up to the f1 race

 

[TinFoilHat]

First practice pretty much fucked by Gasly's car breaking down 7 mins in.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Local CCTV has gone now so they can't practice until its fixed.

Why is that, is it for security reasons in case somebody gets on track?

It's the F1 CCTV for racing incidents apparently.

They are static cameras for incidents.

As others in the coverage are saying. The F1 TV cameras are working. Marshalls can report incidents, so what's the problem?

 

[TinFoilHat]

"The CCTV is out of synch. No racing can take place until its fixed. Practice 2 maybe extended should we get it to work..."

Multi Billion pound industry.
*Eye Roll*

 

[TinFoilHat]

FP2 to be extended by 30 minutes. Starts 2130 UK time.

If I've not fallen asleep watching Engerland and listening to Michael "Mr Personality" Owen I'll tune in.

Bit of a farce, but as we’ve seen for a while now, they do whatever they want and have multiple ways of interpreting the rules.

They'll award the win to Max regardless.

Lol, they’d certainly try.

 

[TinFoilHat]

So much for the extra half hour.

Every **** crashing and red flagging this practice session.

Rain expected before the end as well.

 

[TinFoilHat]

It'll mean fuck all come Sunday. The Mercs are roaring in this practice

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Dream on…

 

[TinFoilHat]

Rain came at the right time.

Expected to be wet tomorrow for qualifying.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Dream on…

As I said it'll probably mean fuck all by race time.

It was nice to hear both drivers sounding happy for a change.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Cracking qualifying session this.

How long until Perez gets binned off for Danny Ric then...

Great session that. Lots of fast strategy required to fight the rain. Sadly they are expecting a dry race tomorrow so I can only see one outcome.

I have a few spare weekend grandstand tickets for the "sold out" British GP (7-9 July). Face value, of course: £589 each (or £489 Sunday Only).

Vettel is doing some bits for Red Bull now too. He's driving his 2011 winning car round Nurburgring for some publicity thing.

I said when he retired he'd be back sooner or later.

Imagine a Red Bull lineup of Max Verstappen and Seb Vettel. Highly unlikely (whereas IMO Danny Ricciardo getting that second seat next season if not before is as closed to nailed on as can be) but what a fun ride that'd be....fireworks everywhere.

 

[TonyM]

Ricciardo is awful.
