It's a normal time for me, I don't get many but it is lovely to watch a race live with a beer.

Sizeable upgrades for Am this weekend.

Andrew76 · 16-06-2023 6:10pm

FP1 still red flagged with the time ticking down, electrical issues and CCTV problems apparently. Half the cars got a lap or two in. Talk about extending FP2.

Andrew76 · 16-06-2023 6:13pm

Highlight of the session, Jensen Button with “I heard he has a few beavers on his helmet” referring to Bottas’s race helmet. This sucks. 😁

Frank Bullitt · 16-06-2023 6:21pm

What a joke, they are looking to extend FP2 but this is so stupid.

Andrew76 · 16-06-2023 6:27pm

Yeah FP2 will start 9:30pm Irish time and go for 1.5 hrs. Possible rain later, and it’ll be getting dark. Sucks for folks at the track.

Ghost Train · 16-06-2023 6:28pm

I missed the start of fp1, so didn't see any cars running

It is surprising that they have no backup plan that could let them run safely

Ghost Train · 16-06-2023 8:35pm

Hopefully a good fp2 ahead. Popcorn ready 🍿

Skies do look a bit dark there

I wonder what the odds are for a Stroll win or podium this weekend

rameire · 16-06-2023 8:59pm

That new barrier at the runoff at the end of the straight at turn 1 is going to be a disaster for cars going long and wide which happens quite a bit.

Yeah, somebody going to get t-boned.

Story with the Mercs sitting in the pits and bottom of the timesheets, problems?

rameire · 16-06-2023 9:02pm

Red Flag, Haas engine went gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhh.

Charlie-Bravo · 16-06-2023 9:03pm

Hulk's engine seemed to have gone pop. Red flag for FP2 with an hour to go.

rameire · 16-06-2023 9:08pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120724752#Comment_120724752

They only signed up to doing an hour of FP2

rameire · 16-06-2023 9:15pm

And Ocon, Red Flag.

Andrew76 · 16-06-2023 9:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120724807#Comment_120724807

That’s strange, considering they did bugger all running in fp1.

Hard to get a read on the pecking order so far other than Ferrari looking quick.

This is it · 16-06-2023 9:32pm

Mercs coming out to play now, quick lap from each. Ferrari looking decent but I still think in race set up they haven't a hope

PsychoPete · 16-06-2023 9:44pm

The wall of champions nearly taking its first victim

dulpit · 17-06-2023 12:23pm

I see sky are showing the Daniel Ricciardo watch along thing this weekend on the red button. Might be worth a watch if the race itself is poor...

PsychoPete · 17-06-2023 4:02pm

Hopefully there's plenty of rain to make things interesting, plenty of rain at the Ferrari challenge earlier

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 5:00pm

Red flag, Sainz binned it.

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 7:57pm

Anyone watching quali? Rain expected.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 7:58pm

Good chance that the rain will be back for qualifying. 90% chance

It is bound to shake things up.

Itssoeasy · 17-06-2023 7:58pm

Evening lads. Nice time for a qualy session to be in our favour. It’s nice and sunny here in cork city this evening. Might even have a can or two watching this.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 8:03pm

Ah, the first time I've been mentioned this season, cheers Martin.

Chocolate digestive and Barry's Tea 4 me. Cider 2moro.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 8:04pm

Red flag, Zhou parks his car up with no drive.

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:05pm

Lol he got his car going again.

skipper_G · 17-06-2023 8:05pm

he's managed to get it going again

Itssoeasy · 17-06-2023 8:05pm

Red flag after Zhou’s car crapping it out.

PsychoPete · 17-06-2023 8:07pm

Someone is definitely going to hit that wall in the run off at turn one

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728097#Comment_120728097

Or hit a car as they come back onto the tracking trying to avoid it.

Man if the rain does come I hope quali isn’t red flagged for ages.

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:14pm

No DRS with the wet track could bring the bulls back closer to the others here.

Faugheen · 17-06-2023 8:19pm

I love when its a drying track because the Inters can go for a few laps without much of a performance loss, and then whoever the mad bastard is that's going to go onto slicks first.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 8:20pm

One of those sessions where last over the line might be the best position come the end.

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728141#Comment_120728141

Yeah conditions like this make for plenty of excitement.

skipper_G · 17-06-2023 8:24pm

Stroll pitted for fresh inters and still a second slower than Alonso

skipper_G · 17-06-2023 8:25pm

Bit of a clown show right at the end

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:25pm

That Ferrari blocked the Alpine for sure.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 8:27pm

That was a bit mental.

Itssoeasy · 17-06-2023 8:27pm

i love the end of the sessions when it’s trying to judge to get over the line last.

Vicxas · 17-06-2023 8:27pm

I’m worried for Perez. Seems the last few races he’s just fallen off and we all know how ruthless Christian is with under performing

Itssoeasy · 17-06-2023 8:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728176#Comment_120728176

It was brilliant.

Faugheen · 17-06-2023 8:28pm

Gasly has every right to be annoyed. Was on a quick lap and then came up to all of that messing at the final chicane.

ctrl-alt-delete · 17-06-2023 8:28pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728177#Comment_120728177

Ended with three of them racing for the line, think that is where Gasly lost out?

skipper_G · 17-06-2023 8:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728169#Comment_120728169

It looked bad in real time, on the replay it looks worse. Has to be a penalty for that

dulpit · 17-06-2023 8:29pm

Gasly hard done by. Stupidity from the other drivers, surely there'll be some sort of a penalty there for impeding?

Burkie1203 · 17-06-2023 8:29pm

Hamilton and Sainz slam dunk penalties

Andrew76 · 17-06-2023 8:29pm

Penalty for Sainz surely, possibly for Hamilton to if Lance was on a hot lap.

Perez needs to up his game.

dulpit · 17-06-2023 8:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120728193#Comment_120728193

At least Hamilton appears to have an excuse (issues with his mirrors), but Sainz was taking the piss...
