Formula 1 2018 - Round 10 – Silverstone

Rossi IRL

Stollolol

Out of Q1 7 of the last 10 races

AMKC

It's a pity that a car and say Lance Strolls car if it is not damaged can not be brought back to the pits and if the team say it's ok in time can go back out and at least set a time.

Rossi IRL

Another Williams off

AMKC

The other Williams in the gravel but he is out of it now.

Mike Litoris

Ah jaysus!

LeClerc did well with that lap time.

Sirotkin is now under investigation from the FIA for his mistake going into the gravel & crossing over into the pit lane. Not a good time for Williams.

Cool_CM

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for Williams...

Ghost Train

Difficult day for Williams. Verstappen having slight issue

skipper_G

Haha Williams are a joke

dublinman1990

Vettel is 1st so far in this session with just over 5 minutes to go.

LeClerc is better this time with P6. That is position is really excellent for him for Q2.

Carlos Sainz is eliminated from Q1 for the 1st time.

Vandoorne 9 tenths slower than Alonso and out. Another one that needs to pull his socks up or be looking for a seat next year

dublinman1990

Hamilton is just marginally ahead of Vettel for now with 1:26.256 at the moment in Q2.

ScrubsfanChris

Yes Stoffel, the other car does have some pace, maybe because there's a good driver in it? :pac:

skipper_G

Happy to at least get 1 car in Q3 with Ocon, Perez can maybe do something with free tyre choice for the race and hopefully get in the mix for a point.

And what about Leclerc P9, his teammate P15

Mike Litoris

McLaren *shakes head*


Leclerc's performances this year is reminiscent of Alonso in 01. Great prospect. Saubers improvement this year is also impressive.

skipper_G

So bloody close between Vettel and Hamilton

Jordan 199

Vettel is hot!

Cool_CM

This is shaping up to be a great Q3!

Mike Litoris

It never ceases to amaze how close 2 different teams and drivers can get over a 3 mile lap.

It's great to see. That's what we want. Would be great to have Red Bull, Renault and Mclaren up there as well too do. Not going to happen this year do but maybe some of them will be there next year.

Hamilton!! Raikkonen is up though.

Kimi could be the dark horse here!

Edit: Aw...

Raikkonen is down

Hamilton has pole for Silverstone by the very skin of his teeth. Incredible stuff.

skipper_G

That was great! Top 3 separated by less than a tenth, some lap from Hamilton. Vettel didn't nail his final run, could have gone either way.

AMKC

So Lewis got pole by 44 thousandths of a second. The same number of his car well without all the 0s in front of it obviously.

AMKC

Kimi is in 3rd his car is No7 and its the 7th day of the 7th month.

He was purple in sector 1 and 3 it was the middle sector that cost him pole.

Karun on ch4 saying the two offs happened when the DRS closed. Significant aero failure on the car

When the car went to the pit and came back out the DRS closed slightly earlier on the same bend.

That and Vettel are the last 2 drivers I can think of seeming to properly outperform a car.

Eddie Jordan did say in his piece that he believes the aerodynamics of the Williams encourage it to spin.

In other news, I decided to look at the highlights package on F1s youtube. It starts with David Croft announcing "We're coming home"

Oh for the love of.....

Harika

Could be a good race, if the Ferrari's manage to stay within 2-4 seconds.

I got a little sick in my mouth when I heard it. Back to C4.

Charlie-Bravo

We've had a good run of interesting races with France and Austria, and I'm looking forward to how Ferrari maximise the strength of their cars. I'm expecting a split on strategy for each car from each team, and Vettel winning from Hamilton, then Kimi and Bottas. RB rounding out the top six.

Can see them getting ahead quite early. The Merc does seem pretty vulnerable for the first lap or so.

Possible but after the start with all the turbulence I can't see overtakes here. And a one stop is expected. Interesting to see if ferrari sacrifice Kimi with a two stop

Would love to see a Kimi victory today....We can all dream I guess!

Stroll and Sirotkin to start from the pitlane as the rear wings are changed on their cars.

Best hope of a safety car then if they have rear wings that cause them to repeat yesterdays minor offs. Or else Grosjean of about 5 years ago.

skipper_G

The support races were able to follow reasonably well in the cooler temperatures, but with the downforce levels of F1and when the track temp is higher in the afternoon it might make the tyre degradation a little bit uncertain. If all goes according to plan for the teams it will be a boring 1 stop race flag to flag.

Oh and for the GP3 race this morning it was kind of surreal to watch a race in 2018 with a front row of Piquet and Alesi

But they can't change there rear wings not quickly anyway. Formula 1 should follow Formula e and have rear wings on the cars that can be changed quickly.

skipper_G

The opening segment on C4 was awesome, from the back to the future references to Murray Walker, memories of old racers and the music choices. That was bloody fantastic!

Charlie-Bravo

Wasn't a good opening, bit cringe worthy but got into it as it went on. Maybe it was the special effects!!

I have to say, the last few races Mark Webber is really showing his sexist side. Don't quite like the guy's attitude.
