Race pace chart from P3? Anyone?

What is the most reliable weather forecast for tomorrow?

Min 9 deg C Max 19 deg C Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 5%

Though a lot of this is global now, and you can use any global weather service you prefer.

I mean I have a mobile phone and I have a forecast on my phone but it shows rubbish more often than not, for instance if was showing dry cloudy yesterday when the track was pored with rain.
One have to be a local to know which one works best for a particular place. Yeah, chance of rain during the Grand Prix is exactly what I wanted to know about. Thanks!

Indeed, a few people did runs, I’d be really interested in those times too.

Likely to be a lonely race for Max in front. I cant see any threat from the Mercedes.

It will be interesting to see if the track temp plays to the Mercedes advantage, or disadvantage through the race if it gets too much heat into the tyres - where they could have focused on single lap pace rather than race pace.

Alonso has some work to do, expect him to be battling with the Mercedes for a good handful of laps.

Not even sure what the make of the Ferrari to be fair. They seem well out of position, its almost they have swapped with the Mercs for this race.

Expect Perez to get into the top 6 - definitely the top 8. Should clear the backmarkers pretty quickly. His race to shine, even if its a difficult overtaking track. The long DRS zone and the start finish line should be a perfect spot for any of his overtakes.

Not sure on the tyre strategy, but RB have a extra set of hards with each driver, Perez also has 5 sets of new softs spare considering he threw away only 1 set by going out in Q1.

Unfortunately have followed it closely enough to know the difference in lap times for the tyres or any potential strategy, but it wouldnt surprise me if a lot tried a 1 stopper. (I think I caught that on some commentary somewhere)

Any idea why there is a power drop on the 8th to 10th corner for Max?

Seems like Verstappen delayed the upshift too much.

It's so funny seeing all of the Max haters making our he's lying, or that Sky are lying, despite the telemetry post above.

Anything to justify their hatred and agenda.

Well. I'm not a hater. But I hope he's telling the truth and he gets some issues in the race to spice things up!

I just saw Checo go off again and notice his front lockup. It seemed to 'pulse' 8-10 times a second ABS stile. I doubt even a F1 driver can cadence at that frequency, so it would seem to be either something mechanical loose or warped?

I think the tyre was skipping along the track instead of sliding.

It looked like there was little downward force on it. So, Suspension or misalignment ?

Or possibly the back dropping the opposite corner??

Breaking: Max has been disqualified due to tyre pressure infringements. He will be starting all the way from Jeddah but is still expected to win the race.

Brilliant that made me chuckle

On UK time that is a bit late; valiant effort though
