Does anyone know why the Official F1 Channel on Youtube hasn't posted Leclerc's pole lap? Is it because of the accident?

Does anyone have it?

could be, as all media events and others have been cancelled expect the f1 race

Depending on circumstances, quite a bit of the midfield, and I think definitely Albon, and maybe Sainz, as drivers who are further back than their car merits due to penalties, should try that S-S-M two stopper, and using the extra stop to dispense with having to save tyre life (which might anyway be the safe choice for Albon?). But, expectations are most everybody will be trying for the S-M one-stopper, of course.

Thank you man. Looks awesome.

So it's a second slower than last year's Q2 I believe. But that Ferrari's straight line speed is remarkable.

Now a Ferrari new spec engine problem. The difference being that the works team haven’t taken it yet, and have until next week to decide whether to do so.

Actually the difference is that Ferrari have a test mule team as does RedBull.

Do I not even get an explanation why my post was deleted?

The qualifying slipstream competition has gone to a ridiculous level in this year. Top speeds are greatly exaggerated. Vettel reached 346km/h at the kemmel straight in Q3, even 6km/h higher than 2016 lol

Looking at live pictures it's been or it *is* raining slightly and everyone is wearing jackets and long sleeves so the temperatures have dropped.

Gulp.

This didn't help Mercedes today (via AMuS):

"The Mercedes pilots could not drive as usual in Q3 mode. After two engine damage in customer cars whose causes are not yet cleared, Mercedes was careful. After Sergio Perez lost an engine on Friday, it caught in the qualification Robert Kubica. Mercedes had to fight this Saturday in Spa but still with other problems."

No Q3 mode used because of the engine problems with the customer teams.

I'm betting it's a cooling config issue between Mercedes and its customer teams.

On board with PER and KUB it seemed more lIle a turbo problem, I would guess an oil lubrication issue. Notice neither were on a hot lap. Installation problem most likely.

it will be interesting to see who can keep their tires energized, as that's going to play a big part in tire life, and tire longevity. Personally I think the cold will hurt Ferrari and help Mercedes and Red bull.

I think that's because they run less downforce in the front and they were over steering. In my opinion the cold will make it worse on their fronts but might potentially help their rears.

Toto on ORF seems to think the cold will help Ferrari.
