Well, that’s a predictable and uninformed comment.
Exactly, it's not too clever to make that kind of comment if you have no idea about what happened.
He deleted his post so I deleted mine and now you look like you are talking at clouds biggrin

Well, it's been ongoing since 2015, so more accurately; "At what time will Horner stop moaning?" wink

So, actually a bit harsh then, losing the pre quali prep time when the yellow seems a farce (and not the incident sky were looking at).

Yep, agree this time. Hadn’t seen the FIA ruling so I deleted the message.

As you were…

I'm still quietly confident about the Mclarens (well, Norris anyway) - they've spent most of each session running on used tyres and doing long-ish runs - don't appear to have spent much time chasing quali times, so either very confident, or just focussing on the race.

Hope you’re right, but last few races have been pretty grim. Hopefully Norris can do something

They could/should do really well this race. Here's hoping.

Even stronger one from Lewis. The in car camera angle is awesome, between the walls that is one fast and scary looking track!

Visually for the viewer this is a dreadful track, nothing to distinguish one are from another, just a monotonous ribbon of walls and netting. Not like Monaco where the buildings, casino and tunnel add interest nor even Singapore where it's lit like Blackpool illuminations, this looks naff.

It’s a little like an e race to the eye.
