2022 British Grand Prix - Silverstone, July 01 - 03

I'm not a fan of this limited free practice running. They hide behind cost cutting but it's all for artificial entertainment. Not good.

[McL-H]

All those not running: you are a disgrace to the sport.

You do realize they only get 4 sets of inters for a weekend right? Sounds like a plan to use all of those in FP1, and then be out of tires for qualifying/race...

Oh rubbish! It are the same culprits always that don’t go out on rainy sessions. They did it in Canada too. And had Perez practiced in wet P3 in Canada, maybe he wouldn’t have crashed in wet qualifying.
The teams need to understand fans don’t pay hundreds of pounds to look at empty tracks. It should be about the fans.

He seems very humble during this interview.

What's rubbish about a factual statement? It is a fact that the number of sets they can use is limited, which gives a clear incentive not to blast through them in the first session. If you don't like that, lobby for them to have more sets or so, but don't start calling sane decisions based on limited resources disgraceful or rubbish.

I think they do need 2-3 extra sets of intermediate and full wets for practise sessions, it's of little benefit to see cars sitting in the pit garages waiting for the weather to clear up, but it is what it is. Peeps should also remember that a lot of the teams have new packages and updates with few spare parts. They'll not want that binned via a spin in the wet. Hopefully FP2 will be dry. Pretty sure my friends at the track are having a whale of a time, despite the weather and limited running.

There is no incentive to increase the number of wet tyre sets in this ridiculous cost-cutting era. There is less and less emphasis placed on the on-track product. If the session is 90 mins long as before, there's a better chance of seeing cars at some point.

It is rubbish because it not the reason they are staying inside the garage. As I said, they didn’t go out in FP3 in Canada either!!!! We saw half the grid go out so they could have went out too. Give them unlimited sets and they would still not be going out. All too scared to break the car… that’s the real reason.

.
I suspect that you’re overlooking the elephant in the room which is Max’s comments relating to his father in law’s views towards Lewis and his subsequent dismissal of them as “no biggie”.

.

“I think the wording that was used, even though of course with different kinds of cultures and things they said when they were little and younger, was not correct,” Verstappen said.

“Let it be a lesson for the future not to use that word, because it’s very offensive, and especially nowadays, it gains more traction.”

“I think you can see the word in two ways. But I think it’s still better not to use it.”

Verstappen said he had not spoken to Piquet about the matter, saying it was “not up to me” to discuss it with him.

“I’m not going to call him and go hey man, that’s not correct - I think he knows that himself,” Verstappen said.

.
Could you perhaps explain to me where exactly Max subsequent rejects Piquet's words as "no biggie"?

Max; “I’ve spent a bit of time with Nelson, more than the average guy, and he’s definitely not a racist,” Verstappen said, claiming that Piquet’s comment, while clearly the “wrong word”, had been “blown out of all proportion”.

I think the quotes above are maybe after seeing the reaction and the fact that Piquet has been banned from the silverstone paddock as a result of his words.

Third gearbox for Perez. Might be against the limit for those come the end of the season

FP1 and FP3 are quite different in terms of how many sessions still to go eh?

But it's fully clear, you are here solely to hate on one team.
