2018 French Grand Prix, Le Castellet, June 22-24

Well that once again buries the argument that wheels can’t bounce across the track anymore.

Didnt see it bouncing to be honest, was more a 'rolling' motion

At least you knew where the comment was aimed

The incident also reminded us that the Halo was not needed at all

on P2, Merc (Lewis) looking stronger this afternoon but Ferrari always jump up on a saturday.
Cant wait for Qualy

Well that once again buries the argument that wheels can’t bounce across the track anymore.

Just as the earlier crash reminded us that cars don't catch fire anymore and so canopies should be used. Oh, wait.

Yes at WEC they have safety problems with closed canopies daily. Oh, wait

Can we please focus on the race weekend?

[JPBD1990]

Business as usual. Ferrari have got it in reverse. Race pace neck and neck, Ferrari with the edge on SS (maybe the best race tyre?)

I think quali will be as close as ever. Could go Lewis’ way this weekend but again... will be close

[JonoNic]

Pit lane speed limit has been reduced to 60 km/h by the stewards [from 80 km/h]

So they will exit the pits even slower?

As a result yes! As you and other members have mentioned the pit exit is placed at a dangerous place. Is it to do with that? The entry isn't that good either.

apparently the edge is not only on SS.

Mercedes amazingly faster than the rest of the field. I hope Ferrari has much more pace to show.

How is it amazing, it's special tyres again here?

[balintgabulya]

Looks like Ferrari's sandbagging again. 0.010 between Grosjean and Vettel is indicating that.

Spain, Mercedes - Ferrari Q gap - 0,13 s. These special tyres gave Mercedes huge advantage there.

[digitalrurouni]

Are we still harping on special tires again? Didn't Vettel effectively debunk that after the end of the last race those tires were used?

They are back yes, but race sim seems better for Ferrari, at least than in Barcelona. Though they weren´t bad there unitl the race day came. Let´s see what happens tomorrow.
