I thought you'd been hacked for a minute!

.
Why?

.
/OT - but it looked like an advertising bot post and not related to this GP at all. Had to really double take it to realise it was legitimate and trophy related.

I half expected a sneaky link in their for some malware/crypto/dropshipping link

We're alright though - the real Wouter is in full control

.
Royal Delft/ Delfts Blauw is known worldwide, just like the clogs and windmills from the Netherlands.
This can be seen on the Medical Car that is sprayed in their pattern (Delfts Blauw). I think it's horrible.
This design does not belong on a car!!

Yuki was very early at the circuit. He arrived as first with his trainer at 09:45h.
George Russell arrived half an hour later.

From Fabrega of course. McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari using Barcelona-spec wings, but Red Bull will again try with lower, medium loaded wing. Not sure how this fits the track requirements, even less the report both cars will be fitted with Hungary-spec bodywork for high-load circuits. Could be an interesting development

Anyone attending this Dutch Grand Prix this weekend must take part of these off-track events and activities to make the most out of their trip to Zandvoort Circuit. This historic track has produced some great races in the past and even with the limited opportunities to overtake, we can expect another classic this Sunday as Max will be looking to extend his lead on the top of the drivers standing and McLaren look to close the gap with Red Bull in the constructors standing.

Forecast for the weekend so far is mostly dry (some rain chances saturday afternoon) and a dry race. For saturday they expect high wind speeds (+- 7 Bft)! that would be a factor in qualifying.

.
Beaufort wind scale?

.
Yes, beaufort. Friday Circuit Zandvoort:

Why do you think that is the beaufort scale?
I think those wind speeds are just mph or kph, it's going to be quite calm

You think there will be windspeeds from 5 > 6 > 7 kmh/mph during the day???

It's going to be quite calm??? It is the Beaufort scale!

Tomorrow does look bad, the weekend a bit more manageable maybe

How exciting. Wings....

I can't wait till these regs are done. And the new regs look even more restrictive.

Looks like Barcelona spec to me (gurney flap was added for the race).

[Vanja #66]

Red Bull is using the Barcelona spec wing.

Yes, they used their mid-load wing in Barcelona practices too and opted out, choosing high-load of course (different tips and endplates are easiest way to spot one or another)

We'll be crying for these cars as livery will be the only point of difference very quickly
