I think some one in Albon garage needs a abacus..

Highest Deg this year so far, so lets give him no new tyres..
So have Haas and AlfaRomeo really only used 2 sets of softs all weekend?
Yes the two Q1 runs.

Local weather forecast says no rain until 5pm, but these clouds blowing over are ‘interesting’.

I wouldn’t rule out a light shower, even one localised to a couple of corners

That’s a cracking view!

The marshalls at T1 have the big big roll out for the oil spill


That could make for a few 'interesting' moments !

My view, first turn then big crest into turn onto pit lane straight. Possibly full of action...
Main overtaking will be down the main straight into corner 1?

One of the Revolution racers just dropped an engine on the straight, and subsequently a load of oil through turn one, before parking it in the kitty litter on the outside of T1.

How did Revolution get themselves on the F1 weekend? They’ve only been about a year or 2.

No idea?

Can hear the cars firing up in the paddock! They’ll be heading out to the grid shortly.

It wasn’t a scheduled race so opportunistic deals were made?

Is that a dig at Vettel or the officer?
It was at the officer or anyone that behaves like that while still employed.

In the case of Vettel, I don’t honestly think that’s his conscious attitude. His past record suggests he does need to have everything around him to be ‘just so’ to perform at his best. He’s in a car he doesn’t like at a team that don’t want him, and he doesn’t have it within him to make the right decisions on track.
I reckon we will see more from him next year just because he will feel wanted.

Cars on their way to the grid, lots of little lock ups, and slip slides on cold tyres and tarmac.

Apparently very windy as well. That could lead to mistakes.

It is really windy... it’s actually borderline jacket weather where I’m sat right now. My travelling companion has hers on already.

Air temps are not far off yesterday, but wind chill makes it feel around ten degrees cooler!

Another political tee-shirt.
