British GP (Silverstone) | July 1–3, 2022

Just some pretty scenery, questionable fashion choices from the locals at Watkins Glen, and all that good stuff. 😬

Here is how the weekend is looking:

Friday, July 1st
FP1 2:00 - 3:00 PM
FP2 5:00 - 6:00 PM

Saturday, July 2nd
FP3 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Qualifying 4:00 - 5:00 PM

Sunday, July 3rd
Race 4:00 - 6:00 PM

It’s all about which teams bring the best upgrades, and more importantly, how much they actually deliver on them.

We have an interesting weekend ahead of us.

It will be fascinating to see if Bear can truly step up and challenge for the win.

Rich's having a rough one today—hope he pulls through! 🙂

It’s going to be Alex Albon
or maybe Zhou

Williams is bringing upgrades, but they’re specifically for Alex Albon.
The simulations suggest he could be as much as a full second faster.
Nicholas Latifi is losing his mind because he didn't get any of those improvements
Ferrari apparently tweaked the chassis or something similar for Sainz.
They caught some kind of error yesterday and had to make a quick change.

Some guy named Meekies over at Ferrari tested positive for COVID...
Formula 1 posted a clip where Sebastian Vettel breaks down that 2014 battle with Alonso—both of them absolutely losing it on the radio....
There’s an auction happening for a 1990 Leyton House (designed by Adrian Newey) and an old Rial from 1989
Seb drove it, or maybe they'll have it out this weekend—that winning Williams from 1992 that Nigel Mansell was pushing to the limit at Goodwood last week.
Lando Norris admitted to shaving his pubic hair
As soon as I see what everyone else is saying about a topic, I'll chime in immediately.

You’ve overtaken Jergu. 🙏

🤣

Thanks, really.

I’m getting a little misty-eyed being compared to F1 legends—especially since I’ve mostly just scrolled through social media for my "training."
Imagine what I’d be writing if I were actually at Indianapolis Motor Speedway like Davorin Štetner.

😵

That new camera positioned right behind the pedals on Lando Norris's car is absolutely brilliant, wouldn't you agree?

The crew behind the scenes is lagging because, honestly, no matter how many upgrades they roll out, they just aren't making much of an impact.

You can only really tell if those improvements actually work once they hit the track.

What are your thoughts on this whole controversy surrounding Nelson Piquet?

There isn't much to say here; the guy is just a total Neanderthal.

Nelson Piquet is a Hero, not some criminal.
Louie is just being his usual messy self—today's political correctness is clearly making him twitchy.
Even Max Mosley was an open sympathizer of Nazi ideology and a proven racist, yet Louie didn't seem to mind that during the early days of his career.
If a dark-skinned guy finds racism offensive, why on earth is he racing in Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia?
Are we going to address other forms of racism, or is it just about protecting him?
It's especially rich coming from the British—people famous for being the ultimate champions of democracy and equality.

So, I guess a Black F1 driver should just shut up or go join Hadeze.

Mercedes looks so much better when they aren't stuck on a bumpy street circuit.

Williams is bringing upgrades, but they're specifically tailored for Alex.
The simulations actually show him gaining a full second.
Nicholas Latifi is probably throwing a fit because he's being left out of the loop on these improvements.

Look, Latifi is driving a car he essentially paid for before the season even started.
If he wants the shiny new upgraded version, his benefactor is going to have to open up the wallet.

Sebastian Vettel just picked up Mansell's championship car from 1992!
He’s actually going to be behind the wheel this weekend before the big race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
🙏🙏🙏

Oh, man, look at that rain coming down... qualifying is going to be absolutely wild 🍿

Jacob Castillo70 said:What's everyone's take on this whole Nelson Piquet controversy?

It’s honestly laughable.

And they choose to stir this up right before VN.

It is just so painfully obvious what they're doing here.

Total disaster

Kišica

Rain in qualifying means a total lottery on the starting grid. We might see someone like Fernando Alonso or Sebastian Vettel pull off a massive jump again.

What on earth did David Croft just shout?

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is easily the greatest track on the planet.🤣
