yeah, i really feel for them, having to sit down in a car seat for an hour an a half, basically every other week. i do that amount of driving every day and i’ve often thought about what a hero i am.

FFS for the money they earn , I would suffer some jetlag
I know people that work different hours every week. Middle of the night some week, middle of the morning the next, whatever the next. When they make mistakes peoples lives are at risk.
Jet lag sucks but to use it to shxt on other professions is truly detached from reality.

Another trophy broken, this time by Sainz. Just a Netflix f1-golf crossover one though.
rimando telling it how it is
I stayed awake for it and want every minute back.
He was joking.
Shame this is on at silly o clock in the morning, if the temperature is going to cause carnage. Will be more interesting than the usual procession.
What UK time is qualifying and practices so I can plan my prediction?
As an aside has anyone seen the documentary on Brawn on Disney Plus? Just taken out a subscription for a month to watch it

With that long straight, surely the Mercedes will struggle here?
if the straights don’t get them, the corners will.
8 am BST Qualifying
6 am BST Race
Really enjoying the Brawn documentary, it's really interesting seeing all the politics and how much trouble they were in that season
Also didn't realise how close FOTA teams came to breaking away from F1. Big teams too
They wouldn't have done the Chinese GP nowadays would have been deemed too wet...
There seem to be more crashes
The drivers look so vulnerable in the cars - no halo and the bodies of the cars seemed to break apart more easily

The double diffuser argument, that's bringing back a lot of memories.
Up to Masa's accident, didn't it play a key part in bringing the Halo in?
So many tracks no longer on the calendar too. Several different winners too

yep. and we all had bigger dicks back then.
Its questionable whether a halo would have prevented the Massa incident since it was a lose flying part that hit him in the head - though of course there is a chance it would have deflected it.
I've always understood though it's the Bianchi accident that really forced its implementation.
Ah that's interesting, I'm guessing it would have shielded him better/stopped before he was impacted if it was rigid enough to withstand it. The drivers look so exposed without it watching the old footage
On a separate note, I don't think Button would have won the title that year if points scoring was the same as today. Would be interesting to see
Edit - just looked it up and he would according to this
Is Hamilton 2008 factoring in the Singapore result as voided or not?
From what I remember it was Henry Surtees death that got the halo train going and Bianchi's possibly gave the final push?
Wasn't watching but practice session has been cancelled?
Track has shit the bed already, manhole was ok, it’s the surround that has come up while sainz drove over it and broke the chassis
Sounds like a proper headache given the schedule.
Bit mad for a street track not to be closed for the duration of the weekend
Ye that part was pretty mad even without anything like this happening. Seems Ocon hit one too.
Oh dear, not the first time a drain cover has caused problems, but you would have thought first race here, thing would have been double and triple checked.
Sliding around not bad enough, they have to deal with manhole covers. I feel this will be not be a good weekend.
From what I gathered they were welded in and asphalted over, however the concrete around gave way. Not really sure how they can say the others are safe from here on.
Ah right, so a problem that would not be seen untill cars actually raced over the covers.
Could be a problem for FP2 starting on time.
Maybe some support races , F2 or 3 before F1 would have’s raised the issue before and it could’ve been sorted earlier.
For anyone interested:
OH I thought there was only 8 mins of running left in FP1 !
Just noticed there was only 8 mins of running done, my sleepy eyes at fault.
That is a disaster.

Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur, not happy described the incident as "unacceptable" while confirming damage to Sainz's monocoque, engine, and battery.

Can't help but feel a little happy about this happening at the first GP F1/Liberty organised themselves ever.
WOW Toto angry about a question asked.
