Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 3, 2019 FP3 delayed for a bit due to an oil spillage from F2 race earlier. Now it's dusty af. Anyway the teams come into quali with very little practice time, rain yesterday and shortened session today, and it seems rain is coming again and we might have a wet qualifying!

Administrator Stan Posted August 3, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted August 3, 2019 Relatively slow from Giovinazzi and Stroll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 3, 2019 Looks very encouraging for Williams; Russell ahead of Stroll and 0.1s within P15. The top three in FP3 covered by less than a tenth as well; could be a very interesting qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 3, 2019 Should be okay but changing the rear wing takes longer than the front wing, at least a few minutes. Have to hope theres no hidden suspension damage or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 3, 2019 Wow, Perez and Ricciardo start 17th and 18th, behind George Russell in the Williams who was less than a tenth away from getting into Q2, great effort! Stroll and Kubica with another ugly qualifying effort start at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
