Damn. That's a good trailer.

Practice was exciting.  Carlos Sainz putting the Williams to the top of the practice board times was intriguing.  Hamilton seemed to be struggling with the Ferrari, and Bearman did not bring his car back in one piece... not what you want to do as a rookie.
 

Excited for this season!!   

One might presume, from limited data, that Williams has made a step ahead over the winter.

I think the step they made was hiring Carlos, cause Alex is about where he usually is - 6-8th. I'm a little surprised at Hamilton in 12th in FP1, we'll see what he does in FP2 and 3 and qually.....

Is this a Sprint weekend? Cause I thought I heard it mentioned that it was a Sprint weekend for F2?

In reply to MiniDave :

FP2 had Hamilton up to 4th, and the Williams' down in 10th or so.  So who knows what's going to happen.

Let alone, is it going to rain or not?

That's a movie to look forward to seeing on the big screen! And there hasn't been much lately to bother going to see.....

In reply to alfadriver :

In the dominant Mercedes era, I seem to recall they often weren't fastest in practice. They were actually practicing, not trying to win. So I'm going to withhold judgment on speed until quali.

Wet races are always good, especially ones that transition. Remember the race where Lewis turned a set of inters into slicks?

In reply to Keith Tanner :

It's tempting to stay up and watch qualy and the race this weekend.  Just to see who is really fast.

Would there be any interest in a GRM fantasy F1 league? I am in another local friends league, I would be happy to set one up if people want to join.

In reply to NY Nick :

OK I just did it. he league is called GRM F1 Fantasy. There is a link and a code to join below. It is free and pretty easy to set up a team.

F2 is always a sprint race weekend.  Each weekend of racing they do a sprint (no pit stops) and a feature (pit stops).  Sometimes the races are barely different in length.

This is not a sprint f1 weekend. Next weekend is.

Lewis has a history of exploring setups thru out the practices and doesn't really show the true pace untill quali.

 He didn't seem to like how the front end was working yet so being 4th after Q2 is promising....well for a long time Lewis fan at least :)

Ollie is not having a good weekend at work.  Pretty tight up top after fp3.
