2023 British Grand Prix - Silverstone, July 07 - 09

Leclerc's fp3 lap - behold FOM sinking to a new low with their onboard camera positioning. Worst camera angle I've seen maybe ever. Can't see anything. There's a car in front of him trough copse (that's why he's lifting and his entry speed is 310 kmh) but you couldn't tell from this shot. Horrendous..

The camera position is dictated by the team isnt it? Otherwise we would have the same shot for each driver....and we dont.

It’s the old side position, doesn’t work well at all with the halo in the way.

[Farnborough]

I just want to watch some f1 cars going around quick in undisturbed sessions is all.
As was said already I don't think Ver has a tangible advantage over Leclerc especially. It'll be very close, as in austria. Race might be a different story, but quali I wouldn't dismiss ferrari at all.

Me neither.

Welcome to the new world under climate change. I suspect we'll get more whacky weather over the next few years

Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "climate change" anyone with any lengthy experience of weather in UK summer knows this is nothing but typical of this season, that's from a long time before anyone even thought of protesting about this topic.
If any single month is really hot, as in June this year, it will ALWAYS be followed by sporadic rain and temp fluctuations. Its never really any different.
Very rare to go through a summer without this characteristic.

We just need hail or snow coming during a race. Probably would immediately be red flagged due to the helicopter not able to fly though??

Doesn’t that depend on the facilities available at the circuit and how close a hospital with critical care facilities is by road?

william floor lack sophistication why are they consistently in the top three

Which was why last summer was so bad. Honestly come to a point that I forgot what rain was.

They have a new floor in Silverstone.

They have a new floor in Silverstone.

If their performance is a reality and not a one circuit wonder, then the sliding scale of development is working along with a restrictive set of regulations!

Nothing odd here, it ALWAYS rains Wimbledon weekend, for as long as I recall.

[InsaneX_Badger]

Silverstone weekend is either like 2008, or like 2018.

Imagine this quali is going to be mostly inters. And some might even brave a slick IF (big IF) a dry line forms. Imagining some showers coming in.

Yep, before climate change we used to have the services of Cliff Richard to "sing down the rain" for us in traditional method but now with a couple of closing roof on the courts of Wimbledon it's no longer necessary. Sadly he's been put out to pasture, in Portugal I think, to help their grape growing season

You can never underestimate the power of Cliff to bring his control of climate to your own region

For those unaware, this is British centric humour brought to you from someone with their finger on the pulse dans le maison du Wimbledon for a little International accord and goodwill.

[chrisc90]

Mercs out on slicks.... eeek. Alpha Tauri too.

Looks a good shout. Dry line.

I imagine some hellish bankers coming in straight away.

[Sevach]

Leclerc has struggled in these conditions lately, let's see today.

[chrisc90]

Lewis spins and nearly beaches it at Stowe. Very lucky.
Max slides and runs wide, so his lap will be deleted

[dialtone]

Perez is 15th again, is he going to make it?
