"Must have 2,5 hours between FP1 and 2". Bureaucracy... Arbitrary rules, no problem solving.

extra 30 minutes of parked cars...We'll be lucky if they don't need canoes to traverse the circuit...

What happens if the problem can't be resolved today? No fp2 either?

What if it happens again . . . in the middle of the race?

No one will run in the rain during FP2, and F1 will use that as an excuse to say the weekend doesn’t need extra practices to have an exciting race on Sunday. Pathetic organization by the local officials. And people should get their money back.

Interesting FP1!

Alfa Romeo's upgrades seem to have made quite a difference. Bottas leading the first session, Zhou in the top 10.
The Aston's look strong as well rounding up the podium.
The Ferrari's could barely crack the top 10!

:lol:

They might do a little bit of wet running in fp2 due to Saturday looking so wet

If not I guess the free practices can be binned off. The race will be interesting maybe if RB have a dodgy setup.

On German Sky, Marko said that the track is much more bumpy than expected, far worse than last year.

Unrelated to that, he expects Ferrari to challenge for pole again, as they are strong in slow corners and quick on the straights.

They might if rain looks likely for qualifying, a few exploratory laps and back in.

I thought people would be moaning about the loss of the FIA's track cameras. I'm
going to take a wild stab in the dark and say they probably have to have those running for the
insurance to pay out if something goes wrong. Anyway it is what it is, a snail is faster than
the FIA in reacting to a problem.

Red Bull must be cheesed off, given they had a lot of aero testing to do.
