Awfully quiet here tonight considering a home GP for many posters here.
Interesting sessions.
Williams!!!! Impressive!!! If that’s the true pace they should be inside the top 10 comfortably. Fingers crossed for them as they seem to be making good steps under James Vowles leadership.
Mercedes looked a bit ragged today, from a brief view of the televised onboards it seemed very unstable through the corners with little rear end.
Shame we missed out on Charles’ FP2 sessions, would have given some nice data for the long runs, but I think that RB will have the advantage there as usual.
On a side note…: does anyone know how Sam Collins knows the exact fuel in the cars to the litre almost. His analysis on FP1 at the start of the FP2 session reckons Max was on 38kg and Albon on 42kg’s worth of motion potion. I will be massively surprised if it is close to true and even more shocked if the teams release the fuel load on the cars. Let alone what deployment settings are used.
Saw a short vid of someone saying Vowles is actually having Sargent taught to drive rather than just letting him get on with it. I dont remember where it was sorry, but it does make a lot of sense, and it is also reported there that Vowles says he is happy with Sergeants' progress. He (Vowles) seems to be a good fit at Williams.
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.
