I really hate Paul Ricard but I hope something interesting occurs to keep people awake.

Saw some tweets that it's currently raining there and the F3 race now is in wet condition. This is gonna be interesting since it's expected to last until the start at 3pm later!

 

[Samus]

Sadly it seems to have already stopped and drying out quickly.



Bernard, turn on le sprinklers!

 

[andrea]

Would be a shame as the F3 race was fun in those conditions.

One for track limits fans...

Verstappen was flagged as leaving the track at the exit of turn two on his pole lap (and his previous lap too), but keeps pole because it wasn't one of the points of the circuit where track limits were specifically monitored - despite being flagged - so not classed as exceeding track limits.

Hamilton for comparison:

The mention of Gasly's laptime deletion above also comes at the exit of a corner - turn 18 - but track limits were being specifically monitored there.

love lights out bring the drama

 

[evldave333]

max choked big time

 

[Famine]

One for track limits fans...

Aaaaaand there we go. There's a regulation around track limits on turn one and the bollards too...

Edit: He'll get away with that as a L1T1 thing by the looks.

 

[Grayfox]

Max screwed up

 

[evldave333]

Settled order Ricard procession time... bring on the rain!

 

[TenEightyOne]

Hamilton's tyres are gone. Took longer than I expected.

Hamilton's tyres are gone. Took longer than I expected.

Becareful when it comes to Lewis and his Tires.

How many times has he gone "Bono, My Tires are gone.
Then he sets fastest lap after fastest lap.

 

[Veinz]

He said that they’re hot

 

[Samus]

Alright folks, let's get settled into "Modern F1 aero boats can't follow each other round medium and high speed turns" race.

How many times has he gone "Bono, My Tires are gone.
Then he sets fastest lap after fastest lap.

Hamilton's team radio is like listening to a politician... the opposite of everything he says is true

 

[C-ZETA]

Verstappen bottled it...

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nice, Daniel and Lando! Nice. 😮

 

[evldave333]

Alonso getting punished...

 

[DK]

Imagine being Mick Schumacher.

 

[Veinz]

Not a whole lot of action but I enjoy this high speed chess match

 

[C-ZETA]

Verstappen bottled it...

Red Bull have got it back!

 

[PaMu1337]

Max sounds a little bit angry

 

[Famine]

The undercuttiest undercut that ever cut under.

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if Bottas has the chutzpah to overtake Lewis with DRS.

 

[PaMu1337]

I wonder how much the top 3 is killing their tires

 

[Veinz]

Shake and bake valtteri

 

[Famine]

I wonder how much the top 3 is killing their tires

Verstappen must have absolutely roasted them on his outlap. Wonder if it's going to end up as a two-stopper for him.
