MUFC Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 The pundits saying the tire blankets should he moved, then more driver skill is required to get the tires into optimum temperature. Oh over heating.

nudge Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Kimi's engine died Red Bull on fire! Gasly best in FP1; here's hoping he delivers in both quali and the race now.

nudge Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Interesting - soft tyres only seem to be working for Ferrari so far. Most of the rest (Mercedes, RB, McLaren) are struggling and are faster on mediums than on softs. After quali runs both Mercedes upfront, followed by both Ferraris, then Gasly, Norris, Verstappen. Long runs coming up now.

No, they used Spec 1 engine today and will probably just change to the Spec 2 engine that they previously used so no penalty there (those apply only if a driver uses more than a certain number of each power unit element during the season). Renault are screwed though either way as they chose a very aggressive tyre strategy and softs are not working at all... I believe Ricciardo only has one set of mediums. If the track conditions doesn't change they're in real trouble...

If he can get pole and stay infront will be interesting. I reckon Merc might have a bit more in reserve though.

Not his best point, nor was the Ericsson "crash" in Baku last year but he's a good driver. He just seems to go through these periods where he's low on confidence and everything falls apart. I like him and he does bring entertainment to the sport, but there comes a point where I'd rather see a younger driver given a chance.

I have liked him less and less. He just seems to do the dumbest shit and get himself into trouble. I'm hoping he moves on and Haas gets a proper replacement.
nudge Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Mercedes well ahead of everyone on long runs. RB close to Ferrari. The rest (bar Williams) extremely tight.
nudge Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Light rain in Silverstone, only Russell got a timed lap in FP3 so far. Mercedes are now out on intermediates.
