Formula 1 Aramco Großer Preis Der Eifel 2020Formula 1

[PeterJB]

Cold, slippery track and they've still broken Takuma Sato's lap record from 2004.

Hulkenberg just arrived on the track site.

Shouldn't he be there anyway as a broadcaster? Anyway, I imagine RP must still have the seat... COVID test and into the car?

Sky Deutschland are doing coverage from their studio in Cologne. Germany's testing results are pretty fast, assuming he didn't have to do one already to be allowed in the studio.

 

[Milouse]

His test is negative.

Murray Walker turns 97 today

, and he's still the voice of F1 to me even though I've seen Crofty be labeled as such.

Two quite recent podcasts with good old Murray for those who are interested:

Suited and booted.



Confirmed

Latifi in front of Russell at the moment.

If the Hulk makes it into Q2 it'll be the drive of the day.

Perez is barely in the running for Q2 too.

 

[Frank McGank]

RP should’ve put Hulk out on Hards with a good load of fuel at the very start of the session. Give him as much time as possible to get a feel for the track, then come in for a racing pitstop for softs at the last possible second. Expedited practise-qualy session in one.

 

[PeterJB]

Despite the lack of running, it looks like we're getting basically the same grid as ever.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Vettel is 5 tenths down on Leclerc and out into P11. Verstappen looks likely to split the Mercs.

 

[numbnuts70]

Blinder by Bottas

 

[PeterJB]

One of his larger pole margins. Albon still beaten to 4th.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Predictions on the start?

Will Bottas lose the place in the 1st corner?

 

[Ether]

Will Bottas lose the place in the 1st corner?

I predict both Mercs will lose a place into the first corner(s). They seemed to struggle the most with getting their tires up to temp. Optimistic, yeah a bit. But if anyone can pull that off, it's Max.

"Vettel always needs a stable rear." - Nico

Teehee

 

[FutureF1]

Calling it now: Bottas will mess up the start, Verstappen will have engine issues, and Hamilton will walk away with the win. It’s been that kind of year

 

[andrea]

Verstappen is so bloody close to the Mercedes. Honda needs to bring it next year.

 

[numbnuts70]

F1 being shown on youtube in DE, NED, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Denmark

Not sure if this is the 1st time this is happening.

Vpn suggestions?

Lewis has to deal with some extra steering wheel vibration? Team was not allowed to repair this last night.

Go Hulk! Surprise us. Did he also say during an interview that his seat for next year is secure? --> "This is the only year I will not race F1 in a full season".

--
Have a good and spectacular race (hopefully)

 

[numbnuts70]

Bit of backlash in LHs' steering.

Go for a podium Leclerc.

 

[Samus]

Damn I'm glad I checked this thread, I was thinking it started at 2:10 as usual!

Seems like it's to do with power steering damping and therefore not a mechanical steering issue? Can't imagine that a genuine mechanical failure of the steering assembly wouldn't be repairable.

Congratz Kimi (not that you care )

 

[PaMu1337]

Grosjean broken finger!?

 

[PeterJB]

Possible light shower in five minutes.

No.

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Bring the rain bitches. **** this MB train

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Albons race is over lol. Get him out of that car!

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Rain falling!

 

[PaMu1337]

Vettel hasn't lost his touch yet

 

[numbnuts70]

Vettel hasn't lost his touch yet

Too soon
