I don’t know what commentary you’re listening to but if it’s Sky I couldn’t agree more; Crofty getting all defensive at the merest sign of any criticism from tweets doesn’t help either.
In terms of long runs, I’m not drawing any conclusions; Vettel actually was lapping the quickest at the end of the session but means very little, I think.
The Red Bull looked the quickest car today but that’ll all probably change as the others use quali modes and the track rubbers in. I still think it’ll be another Lewis/Seb shootout.
Its Sky. I believe most people who take out time to watch free practice want to get real insights into the state of each team/driver and what is going on on track, but instead of providing these things for the greater part of the event, Sky spent so much time trawling on and on through all sorts of low IQ, gossipy things, just to raise controversy for "discussion".
Yep, Red Bull tend to be really quick in FP1 and FP2, only to get beaten handily by Ferrari and Mercedes in Q3.
