He's had a strong F2 season, will be interesting to see how he steps up.
did the same in F3, 1st season wasn't great, 2nd season won the champ. Shame we have to wait to November for the F2 season to wrap up.Its been good to watch, lots of drivers winning after looking after their tyres.

Now I only keep an occasional eye on F2 but strong wouldn’t be the words I would use to describe it. In fact his results seem only to have come good in the second half of the season, if there were stronger competition this season I doubt he’d be in the running.

Just had a look at the webcams from the Nurburgring. Wet, very low cloud almost fog. FP1 only 90mins away, could be sporting!
9am UK time, 10 am local. Looking at the back of the pit complex at the GP circuit.
Looks like a November trackday at Anglesey.
Potentially an air ambulance issue too - does anyone know how close is the hospital, and what the weather is like there?

Shwartzman has been strong
as has Illot. Consistency is the key though, Mick has picked up quite a few 3rd's where as Illot was win or out of the top 3.
Because its all same machinery etc though your not going to see a situation where week in week out the same driver aka Hamilton pulls away from the rest, its all down to strategy and tyres.

As the Sky programming starts, Brundle answers my question. The hospital is 45 mins by road, too far away. It’ll be up to the air ambulance pilot if we get underway on time, half an hour from now. Fog does look like it’s lifting though, so fingers crossed.
Yep, where they are sat on that Veranda now, it does look like its clearing up a little, I reckon we'll be fine. The webcam image is a lot brighter than it was an hour ago!

Delayed start to FP1
Half an hour delay minimum. Wonder if they have room in the program to run the full session, as no F2 or F3? Can’t argue with the reason though, the safety rules are there for a purpose, many drivers have been killed and injured over the years to give us these rules about getting quickly to a hospital if required.
Good to see a few lucky fans in the stand.

Agree completely, Hope they get some running, especially for Schumacher and Ilott!Can’t argue with the reason though, the safety rules are there for a purpose, many drivers have been killed and injured over the years to give us these rules about getting quickly to a hospital if required.

Pretty impressive.

The points reflect his ability but I wouldn't suggest he has shown his fathers level of ability just yet...
Anyhow, we're only talking about Mick because he's driving an F1 car today. Except he's probably not because the session is probably not going to run!!
