Surprised given how many tracks have hosted F1 races there

Not worth maintaining facilities to the highest level if they have no intentions of hosting an F1 race. If you look at the list of Grade 1 tracks, they are almost all current or recent F1 tracks, plus a couple of tracks used for testing, a couple of MotoGP tracks and the Indianapolis Speedway

All other series are able to be held at Grade 2 tracks, which is exactly what Donnington and Brands Hatch are listed at

[Ram-Man]

That was a big hit.

 

[boondy]

The run off stones were not a big help

They could be labelled grade 2 simply for lack of space though, surely an exception could have been made in the interests of entertainment, it's not as if they aren't safe to race on.

I guess at least they have car data from last week for ADR - but it will still be hard from here - different tire temps and conditions and rain expected.. maybe ADR will just say **** it and go for it balls out and if it sticsk great... if not oh well lol

Lando cops a 3 place grid penalty for overtaking under yellows during FP1




That would make for an interesting grid if Quali is washed out tonight

Daniel will certainly be hoping we get some sort of qually, a wet dry scenario could spice things up nicely.

Yeah, not sure what Lando was thinking there, was warned about the yellow flags by his team, it was clearly visible and he still overtook the other car. At least he admitted his mistake straight after and accept the penalty.

So during the FP2 coverage yesterday, Brundle mentioned that he will be having an exclusive interview with Seb in Hungry next Thursday, that was requested by Seb himself. Interesting development considering that Seb requested the interview and not the other way around. Brundle mentioned Seb told him he's "very liberal" on what topics they can talk about and that it's up to Brundle.

Contract announcement? Retirement/sabbatical announcement? A "clear the air" interview and drop some truth bombs and a public "come and get me" to other teams? Who knows, at least with Brundle conducting the interview, he will probably be pretty blunt with Seb and hopefully asks some of the hard questions.

Hell, could it even be a "BMW return" announcement?

Watching the F3 race right now, very wet track and good race at the moment. Could make for good quali tonight

I wouldn't like to see BMW back in F1 because they were a campaigner team in the 2000s.

Kubica could have really given the title a tilt in 2008 if they hadn’t given up to focus on 2009.. only to leave at the end of 09.

Since it's never happened in before. It'll be interesting to see how teams/drivers go about getting a result this weekend. There's never an opportunity to redress a mistake, mistake in tactics, or immediately take advantage of any new found knowledge. But this time they will be able to.

Bang on. And the way they left was pathetic.

Nah, Kubica also dropped the ball, ending up scoring less points than his teammate in those last 10 races.

Will be lucky to get Quali today by the looks of things

 

[happy_eagle]

Can they still do a Sunday morning qualy ?

Will be interesting otherwise. Max on pole, Lewis down in 6th

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

its gonna be too wet for qually tonight.

 

[DamoESP]

They will do quali tomorrow if they cant get it done tonight, only something like a 20% chance of rain tomorrow morning.

 

[drd23]

Quali would be tomorrow at 6pm Eastern I think if it can't happen today

 

[drd23]

Quali begins in 5 mins

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I do enjoy watching them in the rain. Well done to Russell.

He really needs a better car, gets everything he can out of his performances

 

[darth_timon]

Only just tuned in, what happened to Perez?? And looks like Verstappen and Hamilton worlds ahead of the rest in the wet.

Also, Ferrari's upgrades seem to be useless.
