That was funny! Did sneezing cause him to press the radio button?

Am I missing something on the BBC website? I cant get the live commentary...just some interview with a musician ive never heard of...

I think the same thing happened a couple of races ago, they realised halfway through the session.
Pretty annoying as i enjoy the FP1 & 2 commentary.

35 minutes in they're still broadcasting entirely the wrong show. Jennie, Jack and Jolyon presumably working away broadcasting to no-one. Bloody rubbish.

F1 live timing website/app has the R5L commentary.

Latifi helmet-cam is bloody brilliant! They appear to have sorted the resolution and image stabilisation issues.

Technical issues it seems, took long enough. Now working.

Wow, Astons are slow with the new wing

They’ve been doing aero runs rather than going for a time.

Or, as Ted just suggested, they’re running 80kg of fuel to discourage anyone from protesting!

Edit: they finally put the softs on, and went 11th and 12th, a second and a half off the pace of the Ferraris and MV.

They did know they were talking to themselves though if Jennie's twitter feed is anything to go by - she tweeted that they were aware and trying to get it fixed. Looks like it jumped around between some R5, a musician interview, cricket commentary and at times wasn't there at all.

I think Aston will be happier after that session than Haas are with their upgrades ...

[LeoSayer]

Lewis clearly knows how to win here with 8 wins in total.

Wins at Hungary came in his worst seasons 2009 (won 2 races), 2011 (won 2 races) and 2013 (only 1 win).

[rampageturke]

It's a floor dominated ruleset, A slight rear wing update was never going to be a magic bullet. Might improve aero balance but forget saving several 10ths.

Ferrari have announced they're aiming for a "1-2 at Hungary this weekend". Possibly the most pointless press announcement ever.

Do they mean to be the first 2 cars back into the garage after the start of the race due to Ferrari reliability or will the pit wall be desperate to find yet another new and completely avoidable reason to throw the race win/decent points away?

Wonder if we'll get the same cheating claims that are thrown at other teams for finding loopholes

They're hoping to rely upon inbuilt unreliability to hobble their drivers. If that doesn't happen, that's when the strategists get involved and find a way.

They're remarkably consistent, it's very impressive.

Thank you both.

[angrymoby]

so if Ferrari deliberately target DNF'ing their drivers, do we reckon they'll start getting 1-2's?
