They do, yes. I think The-Race is more accurate though.

As an Englishman I don’t give a scooby how a nation who borrowed my language spells it. It’s spelled ‘tyre’.

We in America have decided to not care what the Brits think as a part of who we are culturally.
So your not giving a scooby does not even register. We will change anything we want to change
if we feel like it.

Spell it how you like. But don't call it "English".

I feel slightly aggrieved when I hear USians saying "can't you speak English?" when they really mean "can't you speak USian?"

There is a whole lot funny stuff to US than just a borrowed language. When I first visited US, was shocked to see what they call football. I did ask them why do they call it football when 99.9% of the game time they keep baking the ball in their arm pits and barely touch it with FOOT! Sorry, but that's just funny.

Speaking on Friday, FIA race director Michael Masi indicated that Formula 1 is preparing for other eventualities with regards to qualifying, as there is a 76% chance of rain that is likely to intensify as the day goes on.

In such an event, Masi says there are three options available.

“If a worst case scenario was to come about, we’ve already had a look, and qualifying could take place on Sunday morning,” he told RaceFans. “So that’s a great option there.”

“If we had a complete wash-out on Saturday, so free practice three didn’t take place and qualifying, didn’t take place, and hypothetically qualifying couldn’t happen on Sunday morning because of weather, we would revert back to the free practice two times from today,” said Masi.

“Or there’s the third iteration, which is that free practice three can happen tomorrow morning, but we can’t have qualifying in the afternoon or qualifying Sunday morning, and the grid would be highly likely to be set on the free practice three times.”

They do, yes. I think The-Race is more accurate though.

I think The Race used the drivers' actual lap times in FP2 to determine single lap pace, whereas F1.com projects teams' single lap potential by estimating fuel loads and engine modes.

For example, today, I think RB used their maximum qualifying engine mode in FP2, whereas Merc settled on using a mode more powerful than they would normally use on Friday, but not their maximum Q2 or Q3 modes.

Americans spell the 13th element "Aluminum" the British "Aluminium." i let the Americans have that one since they discovered that element and are the ones who named it.

It doesn’t work that way at all. “ium” is the suffix for naming elements, derived from Latin. Otherwise we may just as well call lithium and helium as lithum and Helum

Also, “tyre” better than “tire”, because “tire” already has another meaning. Sometimes I just shake my head at Americans.

Our language is weird as hell, okay! It’s just a huge conglomeration. It rarely makes sense and doesn’t follow set rules. That makes it super interesting in a way, but very odd, as well.

American? Lol "USian"?

Mods the Brits are off Topic.

I am so sorry i have started this grammar debate.
What is the update on the weather today?
Anyone near the area?

[Wouter]

[Mogster]

Conditions look quite bad for the F3. Very wet, heavy rain, not much standing water though.

Edit....

Several cars off. Red Flag.

[Wouter]

[nevill3]

F3 race suspended (red flag) due to heavy rain at the moment.

[JRindt]

The incompetence of Pirelli at providing proper wet weather tyres is frankly astounding. Is it them for F3 as well?

[McMika98]

0% chance of racing today based on forecast. Unlikely they will cram all the races tomorrow. So Max potentially on pole.
