So you think you know more than a race winning F1driver ?
Unbelievable nonsense, well done.

Your point is what exactly? That racing drivers never ever come up with excuses or flatter their own errors? In this case I don't even think it was a driving error, I don't think it was water either - although if there was water that obviously can't have helped.

I think the Williams is unstable and hugely lacking in downforce. The sort of car that doesn't have more accidents solely because the entire time it's being driven the driver is half expecting it to let go and is always being vigilant.

None of what I have said suggests I know better than an F1 driver. I'm just highly dubious of real cause of the incident - and a racing driver named Kubica has previously said that he's driving most of the time to contain, not control the cars behaviour.

Also, calm down - why are you so often on the attack?

Racing Point were carrying a funny looking bulbous thing on the camera mount next to the roll hoop. Anyone know what it was?

It’s a thermal camera, it will monitor car temps and air flow (cooling).

That guy...

Is it just me or is kubica getting a lot of screen time out on track? As if the director is fingers crossed for a repeat of yesterday..?

I wasn't expecting that lap from Lewis, where did that come from.

And now max right up there with him.

Looks very close at the top - should be a great Qualy session ... assuming Lewis' "big drop in power" at the end isn't a real worry

Conspiracy theorists will be looking at the drop for Ferrari once they put the race engine in today.

You mean when they put their race coolant and oil in ?

Any predictions for who will bend their car first in this session?

We have three top drivers all of whom could secure 3rd in the championship, they're gonna really want a good quali result..

Leclerc has a 10 places grid penalty. So he is out of a good quali results. For sure he will want to show how good he is but better play tactical with the tyres if there is a possibility.

That's true. A big question I have is whether he'll give seb a tow, or just run his own session and, as you say, show what he can do.

Pretty sure the Red Bull is capable of taking Ferrari here in any case.

Yep.

I think it could be a close one today.
