    Long run pace is very promising

    Not too bad..just gotta hope our tyres don't degrade like last time out. Hopefully we have a bit more left for quali going off that pace.

    Long pace looked good and that's where Ferrari should be focusing on. And looking at the standings, I think this is exactly what Ferrari is doing here. Alpine and Aston Martin matching Red Bull and Merc in the sector 2 and 3, so definitely running with higher engine modes.

    Mclaren looks quick. It will be very hard to beat them here.

    Agreed, maybe they are concentrating on race pace instead of grid slot, but the risk of rain isn't going away so it could all be academic anyway. It can't be any worse than France, surely?!

    Bottas is handed a 3 place grid penalty for his pitlane antics.

    Did anyone hear Crofty during the Sky coverage today?

    Absolutely disgraceful.

    I keep my speakers shut since I have to tolerate his bias during the race as well.
    What was he taking about? Typical Ferrari bashing?

    Can we not do something about that? I don't know, storm Sky's and F1's social media platforms with complaints or something, because for all we know there may be a subtle agenda to reduce Ferrari's status as the most important team in F1 (our recent form isn't helping at all) and if we don't do anything they will succeed.

    I had the same question as to how Sky chooses its commentators and is there a way, some form of feedback wherein users can give in their opinion. Let's accept it, the only thing constant in this world is change. If they keep the same set, it will(already has)get boring. I mean why not shuffle the pack, PDR's is good, so is Lawrence and Karun Chadok.
    The perception, attention, positive comments all depends on the performance. If we do good, we could get something good to hear.

    I still believe every driver wishes he was with Ferrari . Charles for one will never let go !

    Problem there is on sky f1s fb page, especially the British one, is 95% of the people who follow that, and regularly comment, are, merc lewis nuts, and max rbr lovers. I tried comment once about how bias fia and sky commentators are towrds said team and drivers. And how ferrari got hurt 05 by rule changes, i got shot down bad. Lewis fans calling me typical ferrari moaner, sore looser stuff like that. Its not a nice place to go if want to bad mouth sky f1 or merc and rbr.

    Thanks to sky f1, merc lewis fan boys are like football supporters and that mentality. Throw abuse at anyone.

    What did they say?

    NOTE: I know those little ***** are extremly bias with their commentary. A good example would be the 2018 British GP.

    It's a massively toxic place.
    Lol, I tried expressing my opinion and they just keep at it.

    It's still power based. Not to the extent of Monza but it's still got three long straights. It's mentioned here as power based "High-downforce tracks vs power tracks in F1 – differences explained" https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/h...tm_content=www

    It's not just that either but how much are we having to sacrifice in setup just to not be super slow down straights. It's compromising us nearly everywhere.

    Well done Charles, P7. P6 with Bottas's penalty.
