In the Dutch thread someone posted the run of wins Vettel had in the second half of 2013. I do think now that Verstappen could do the same this year. I hope Mercedes can snatch a win though (or two). Russell to get one on the board, Hamilton to keep the 'win in every season' going.

Where though? Cota you’d imagine they’ll be too draggy down the back straight, maybe Mexico or Brazil?

Weird things happen. Last year at Monza, Hamilton wore Verstappen's rear tyre as a hat and Riccardo won. This year at Silverstone, Zhou did a perfect jump and roll to the other side of the barrier and it was Russell's only DNF. On performance it probably won't be at Monza, but never say never.

Gasly not at track today under doctors orders, who's the reserve driver?

It was Juri Vips, but RB dropped him. Sebastian Buemi perhaps? Hope Gasly is okay tomorrow.

Liam Lawson is now the AT reserve. He would (or should) be next up into F1 with AT if they weren’t chasing Herta.

Love thia video of him and Alex Albon at a TF session at the ring https://youtu.be/tGG2ervQPyw

Brilliant! Never seen that clip before

And just watched the follow up with Albon driving, super stuff. Surprising they let them go without helmets on with the full cage.

Both those years were under the previous 10-6-4-3-2-1 scoring system, I wonder if they would have won so soon into the season under the current system (patiently waits for someone to calculate it for me )

60% vs 72% points for 2nd vs 1st not including fastest lap

Looked and Sounded like a 991 GT3 RS?

Checking in to the thread having just realised it'ne nearly Friday

Hard to see anything beyond a Max win ... but hoping for some interest behind him.

Any new drivers in for FP1?

[HustleRussell]

Giovinazzi in for Schumacher and De Vries in for Vettel

Lewis taking engine number 4 and associated penalties.

De Vries is continuing in his quest to drive as many 2022 F1 cars as he can by replacing Vettel for FP1

The part where they exit the carousel

And at 8:00 when the MX5 almost loses it!

I've spent many happy hours watching the ring' "fails and saves" videos on YouTube - you get to experience every sort of emotion as the hapless hoon around the place!
