It's coughing in the thin air, like an asthmatic mouse.

Am I missing something? Surely HAM 362kph/225mph is even more staggering? Or is that a misprint?

Thin air, running slightly less downforce than cars that have less mechanical grip. It's feasible, although still impressive.

Anyone else remember the old Hockenheim? Minimum downforce, ludicrous speed, ludicrous lack of grip on the twisties. biggrin

33kph is the difference between Alonso and Hamilton.

An interesting session. So slippery. That should improve if there's no more rain. Hamilton not looking as sharp as he normally does. Could be a fascinating qually and you never know, a thrilling race as well.

One thing for those with NowTV: it would appear that upgrading to Win10 makes Now think you are on a different computer. I've tried to log on with my desktop but it states I am up to my quota of computers and will have to wait a month to add it. On the forums this seems to show as a common problem. So take care out there. You won't know if you have a problem until after you've paid your fee.

Very irritating. I'll have to set up another identity if I want to get my money's worth out of a week's pass.

Judging by the lack of grip on offer during the damp running in P1 anyone could win if it rains...

You can log into your account and delete the old devices, then you can add it straight away.
