F1 2020

Speed trap results are interesting, with Ferrari engine cars taking all 5 of the slowest places;

They weren’t cheating last season though. No. Certainly not.

And since Ferrari stopped "not cheating", their performance has fallen off a cliff.

Hi all! Really looking forward to this one. One of the most scenic and exciting spectator’s circuits - love those swoopy helicopter shots which chase the cars up the hill!

A slipstream overtake of the leader on the first lap is very possible. I do hope Lewis keeps his head and plays the long game if needed, instead of getting tangled in a desperate Dan defensive move.

Is Badgers with us, or recording and watching it later like quali yesterday?

 

[Limejuice]

Uh-oh. Sainz's car coughed a bit of smoke on the outlap, so he's back in the garage.

ETA the engine's gone pop. Sainz is a non-starter.

29% of Movistar pundits are saying Ham Bot Ric for top 3 today.

 

[Limejuice]

Ah, it turns out Sainz's problem is an exhaust issue.

If Danny Ric scores a podium, Cyril Abitboul has to get a tattoo.

 

[Limejuice]

Nothing reported to the stewards yet... Pity because the drivers' steward is Jonny Herbert.

I hope Vettel overtakes Leclonk. For comedy value alone.

The way he's going at the moment he'll be overtaken by everyone.

 

[Limejuice]

That's a bit smash!

 

[dessiato]

There'll be some bruises from that.

 

[Limejuice]

Very impressive work by the marshals. I thought they'd have to red card the race with all the debris.

 

[dessiato]

Did Ham just say he'd lost some power?

 

[dessiato]

Kimi v Vet looks fun.

 

[Limejuice]

Did Ham just say he'd lost some power?

Yep, his engineer replied it was just a battery at full charge causing a bit of clipping.

 

[Limejuice]

The two Ferraris duelling over 13th position.

Hahahaha.

 

[MrCurry]

It probably seemed like a good idea when someone suggested it, but these fan videos on the big screen are just excruciatingly lame.

 

[dessiato]

Kimi in the points! Let’s hope the water isn’t going to stop him.

 

[Limejuice]

Perez is charging through the field from plum last. Could be interesting towards the end.

I think Leclonk moved up one but Vettel dropped one. 13 and 16 isn't very heroic.

I submitted one for lando. Don’t think it’s ever been used. At least not during a race.

Please describe it - so we can look out for it and swig beer when we see it.

 

[Limejuice]

Come on, All-Bran. Defend that position!

 

[dessiato]

I’d hoped for better for Ric and Kimi.

Shame for McLaren with sainz went out because Ferrari have scored no points this race

 

[Limejuice]

And the interviews today take place within inches of the loudest vacuum cleaner in Belgium.

A bearded bloke in glasses fist pumping with a black McLaren cap on.

Probably not wearing enough f1 merch with corporate logos on to ever get used.

It’s been the same all weekend. I don’t know what’s causing all the noise there.
