Weirdly better outcome than if he’d finished third as he was heading for before Pirelli fucked up.

Looking like debris caused both of the blow outs rather than Pirelli fucking up.

Hamilton also a cut in his tyre from debris (obviously from the set taken off during the red flag)

Grosjean meets fire again. Not as dramatic or terrifying as his last encounter though

Looks like it is going to be a wet race today.

Indeed, dried up quickly in the F3 but more seems to be on the way. Could be a good one.

Nice to see Jack Doohan winning in the F3 too, interesting looking down the pack how many recognisable surnames there are - only realised yesterday Charles Leclerc has a younger brother racing too.

F3 race was really entertaining actually!

 

[Nando]

No surprise there! Just a shame that that the costs of running these feeder series has meant they've had to amend the schedule. Used to love watching the F3 and F2 back to back.

The 2x reverse grid races are making it very difficult to form a pecking order.

There are monster storms all around the south of France on my weather radar and lightning strike aps but they don’t see to be that close to Paul Ricard at the moment. They might get away with it.

Merc fucking up the pit stops again. Getting embarrassing now.

 

[Nando]

Lewis has made that too easy there - albeit two outstanding drives from the front two. Bottas quite entitled to be extremely pissed off as well.

They've also handed Max an extra point by not letting Bottas get the fastest lap there. Odd

Perhaps because the investigation into the Perez/Bottas overtake, if there had been a time penalty then staying out might have got them 3rd place back.

Wish I had a ticket. Loved it every time I have been but not a possibility this year.

Probably because events like this have little impact on the spread of the virus. We will find out when the Government actually release the data they have been sitting on for a month.

As its a test event, everyone there will be either double jabbed or had a negative test result

Bottas trialing a new way to leave the pit lane...

FIA not a fan of that style and hand him a 3 place grid penalty

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He could have wiped out the McLaren pit wall so that’s probably fair enough!

this seems a bit overly optimistic

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Max is insanely quick. Norris also looks proper pacey.

Max and Lewis should be the front row. Best Bottas is going to get with his penalty might only be P8.

Lewis signs up for 2 more years with Merc. Perfect man to guide George "Wolves Fan" Russell in his debut Merc season...
