F1 2017 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
The Red Bulls are not good so far this season, they look to have gone backwards from last season.
Q2 delayed for 5 mins due to the crash at end of Q1.
Max starting from the back of the grid and with the expected rain, he could provide a very interesting race.
Q2 starts and Kimi and Seb come out on super softs.
This will be the set that they will start the race on , if it is dry that is.

Seb and Kimi out at the end of Q2 , Lewis and Bottas stay in the pits.
no shock that Lewis and the Merc's have found some extra speed in Q3
WOW that was a fast lap from Lewis.
Like a said before sandbagging in FP3.
Hopefully the weather wont wreck the race.

Seb vs. Lewis again. Ferrari is really up for it atm 
Can't figure out if Vettel's doing miracles or Kimi's not feeling it
Oh well, pace should be similar in the race right now. Hopefully we'll get a dogfight between Seb & Lewis this time

80% chance of heavy rain at lights out time.
We have the prospect of a wet standing start.

Only good thing about Max starting so far out is seeing him move out to the front. A wet race would make things interesting for sure.
Both Palmer and Roman have grid pens for not slowing down enough going past a double yellow flag, which under new rules means they must be prepared to stop.
I think its fair , there was a a car in the middle of the track and both only lifted very briefly.

Cars are out on track , looks like they are running inters.
Lots of spray but the track looks OK.

apparently these inters and wets are different from winter testing and some have never run on them.
apparently the track has not been declared wet.
Carlos is starting on super soft slicks !!
looking at the parade lap , slicks could be a option.
Some parts of the track look bone dry.
Some parts of the track look bone dry.
Palmer straight in for slicks before the start , he will start from the pit lane.
the heck was Vettel doing.
Carlos looking he made a mistake , struggling on the SS's
Seb under investigation for being out of position on the grid
Virtual SC.
Max is already up to 7th , WOW that was some start for him.
Seb pits for Soft slicks.
This could be fun
This could be fun
Racing again and Lewis not in for slicks.
WOW thats a massive crash ,SC out.
All car thought the pit lane, the Sauber hit the wall hard.
Lewis pitted and is now on SS
No action taken.
Nice move by Perez.
Racing again.
How did Vettel get away with that start? Doesn't look like Hamilton has much pace, could be a good fight from here.
Surprised. Maybe no position advantage on track.
Max is some driver 17th to 2nd in 11 laps.
Hope we get an explanation but that's probably it. Would be fun if the whole grid does the same next race.
Hamilton has got a race now. Verstappen will catch him soon.
The stewards have been told to be more lenient this season , but I am shocked Seb got away with that start.
C'mon Raikkonen, make a move soon.
looks that way , Lewis is in Softs and Max is I think on Supers
