Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
I really enjoy Landos social media presence. Twitch youtube etc . Brilliant stuff
James Allison has confirmed, counter to what totto said there will be some car and engine updates coming to the 2021 Mercedes.
Also for past few races RB have been running new Exxon-Mobil oil mixture, which may account for the improved engine performance.

Surely it must be possible for these organisations to find loopholes or even hide investment into future systems.
What is stopping tben from doing research "off the books" on next year's car while working on developing this years car "officially" ?

I don't get that either, must be an absolute nightmare for FIA to control all that.
Is anyone here going to Silverstone? Just after some advice for the flow tests, not sure how to do it for two people with one phone
I'm not sure how it works for Silverstone specifically so they may have specific rules, but generally you enter the results initially into the NHS website (link from the app) and scan in the test number plus the details of the person who had the test.
You can then put the test batch numbers in the app. With two people and one phone I'm not sure, but after you receive the text notification back from entering them on the website , maybe just put both test numbers in the app as the person who took the test is linked via the test result entered on the website?

Sorted now, far more straight forward than I initially though, I’ll delete previous posts as they’re not really anything to do with f1.

Is it the same track as last week? I'm confused with all the double/triple header and them just randomly renaming the tracks for what looks like the exact same track sometimes.
That's because 100% from Max isn't 100% from the car.
Exactly my point.
I dont take much notice of FP times to be honest, no team will be showing true pace, Q3 last lap is the first place you should see it in a race weekend .
Is the forecast still wet?
not for Saturday, but the race is 50% chanceIs the forecast still wet?
If it’s Sky reporting that then it’s probably more like a 20% chance
It looks likely to be overcast during the race on Dark Sky, I'd say we're in for a dry race.
Hamilton has renewed with Mercedes for 2 more years. Great news.
Lewis was always going to sign.
New cars next season , I think he will have had a massive imput with it, he will be desperate to race in it.
Bottas I think may sign a new contract also, he will have also had huge imput in the new car.
2 drivers who know how each other work.

Some Teams with Test tyres on in FP3 ?
So Russell has publicly said, he will have a Mercedes engine behind him next season.
This is interesting.

Austrian GP Qualifying
Hard to see past Max for Pole to be honest.
Not sure if the times this FP are relevant with running Test tyre's.

Track temp is 52 degrees.
Max seems to be the flavour of the day for Sky, Its a Max wankathon
Hope it's a wet race tomorrow spice it up a bit
Ocon out in Q1 again.

Put Russell in the Mercedes!
Ocon is a bit naff...

Look at Russell wrestling it up there again, what a waste of talent.
I know he may just miss out on Q3 again but the fact he's challenging and JUST missing out, despite being in the Williams.
It's so frustrating seeing the average Bottas in that Mercedes while Russell is stuck in the Williams
George Russell made Q3 in a Williams!
RUSSELL! He’s so talented over a single lap.
Russell makes Q3 , cracking Q2 for him.
Agreed he is wasted at Williams, after what I have been reading , will be at Mercedes next season.

Supreme effort from Russell, I'd expect some grid place drops for Vettel.
What happened infront of Alonso there.
OUT IN Q2
11) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari

13) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren
14) Fernando Alonso, Alpine

Vettel is what happened, held him up.
Phenomenal Russell! And on the mediums too!!
Looks like Williams have improved to slightly up mid field
Just really hope he isn't hit by bad luck tomorrow again
