2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - Imola, Apr 16 - 18

what's the big deal here? a dignitary passing away happens everywhere. is it such an issue to alter the race weekend and worry about sessions getting elongated for red flag reasons? f1 doesn't pay heed to human rights issues across globe and goes racing in countries with questionabe human rights credentials, but are empathetic to an individual's demise?

A significant amount of UK and Commenwealth will be in mourning, including some F1 workers I suppose.

The other thing too is the PR aspect. If F1 went racing during the funeral it will be seen as disrespectful in some quarters.. the backlash might even cause funding to be withdrawn or future sponsors might be lest willing to give/ lend F1 money over it.

When the Queen's time comes it might be even a race being shifted by an entire weekend.

F1 has no relationship with prince Philip, there is literally no moral/ethical reason to modify the schedules

the thing is overblown and absurd. It’s as if some randoms decide to ask me to not work during a day in respect for someone who has passed away and has no relationship whatsoever in my business

The global feed is the Sky UK feed, of which Sky will be following suit with all other UK broadcasters. It's hardly moved at all so I don't see why everyone is getting so upset about it.

Marko had convinced some people that Red Bull had lost 59 seconds a lap compared to their actual pace due to the tiniest of car issues in Bahrain.

Marko says a lot, but I don't think he said that, 59 seconds a lap.
I mean he said 0.3 sec a lap.

Mazepin already spun... 5 minutes into the session.

Is Daddy's money really worth all this?

Ocon in the wars again... This time with Checo. Red flag.

Think they have an issue at the moment where the car cameras are not working? Or they are not getting the feed. No replays of it so far.

Wish the commentators would highlight what was going on with Leclerc; 40 minutes into the session prior to the Red Flag and not a single timed lap?

They are having issues with the feed. It started late on F1TV as well. No onboards are available currently.

no tire info on the app as well unfortunately, but looks like Williams did those laps on mediums. Not a bad start.

[SiLo]

I don't think I've seen a session where so many drivers have held others up on fast laps.

Is it just me, or does it look like Leclerc is sitting on a booster seat?

[Sevach]

Ferrari looking handy here.
