temps forecast to rise a bit in the afternoon, still relatively cool though.

[Cevertmyhero]

I'm not expecting much today. Bottas will let ham pass within 2 laps and then he'll hold up everyone else. Max will be strong but I hope Charles can get a podium but it's gonna be another painful race for a Ferrari fan to watch. :(

Now i know why Mercedes can do weird stuff in cornors:

If the track stays cool (or becomes cooler), Ferrari will be the car to beat. Hopefully the rain washes away a little rubber off the track as well.. The only reason why Merc took pole was because in Q3 the temperature & grip increased and their car suddenly came alive.


"It's good, it came as a little bit of a surprise because we were on the back foot throughout the qualifying session and expected Ferrari to be strong," Wolff told Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz afterwards.

"But finally in Q3 they went backwards and we went forwards," he added. "The grip ramped up, the whole car heated up, and I think that made the whole thing come towards us."

Yeah I think I'll time my bike ride with the race this time and then watch a delayed stream fast-forward.

The best thing anyone can do is to not watch the races live so long as the maFIA are cheating us. Audience figures down the drain is the only thing that can salvage this "sport". My hope is for Charles to get a podium and Hamilton to DNF or have a non-podium Austria-esque meltdown in front of his plastic fans, that's more than enough for me today.

Pirelli suggest Leclerc's 'audacious' British GP strategy could work

Ferrari's decision to start on soft tyres could pay off according to Pirelli, as they laid out the strategy options for the British Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc made the interesting move to switch approaches during Q2 on Saturday, initially following Mercedes and Red Bull on mediums before going faster on the red-striped compound.

And as he prepares to start third on the grid, behind Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, it could give an advantage he is keen to capitalise on.

"We did an audacious choice of tyre for the start, softer than our opponents," the Monegasque told Sky Sports. "I will give it everything and hopefully gain some positions in the first few corners.

"Seeing the race simulations I don't think there's much difference between the two tyres. I don't think it's night and day, to be honest.

"If we can overtake them at the start, we might have a chance."

During Friday practice, Mercedes had appeared the clear leaders over a long run but Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto explained the call to start on softs was to "add in another variable".

"We are well aware this will be a long race during which tyre wear will be a factor for everyone, but our hope is that we have found the right set-up to also allow us to go well over a long stint," he added.

It is possible that by starting on the mediums, Mercedes and Red Bull could opt to one-stop by switching to the hard tyre, but because of the short pit-lane, Pirelli doesn't think it would work.

"The quickest strategy for the 52-lap race is a two-stopper, with a one-stopper practically ruled out," they said in a series of tweets.

"Best two-stopper goes like this: start on the soft, after 13 laps take a new set of softs for another 13-lap stint and finally hard to the finish.

"For those starting on medium, first stint on the medium for 15 laps, change to the soft for 13 laps, and finally hard to the end."

[Tifoso Svedese]

Personally, I'd prefer soft 15, medium 18 and medium 19. It's going to be cool asphalt temps anyway, so why not roll the dice? We've got no championship to think of, just to pull a P2 here would be phenomenal.

Soft 15, soft 15, medium 22 would probably also work just fine.

Do we have spare fresh softs for each car?

Mediums heavy deg on this track with low drag car. S-S-H is good one.
But I’m worried about our Hard tyre race pace, this where ferrari lack.

[nani_s23]

Do we have spare fresh softs for each car?

Lec has 1new set of Medium & 1 soft
Vettel has only 1set of Medium.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

[Cavallino]

has it rained since qualy? certainly looks that way. All the rubber should be gone, this is good for LeClerc.

[Cavallino]

Oh and don't worry about Vettel, I saw a guy in the last thread said that he's testing parts for us. Thanks Seb! :lol

[nhiepka]

Hello, do we have any link to watch online?

[nani_s23]

All the best to both our drivers...!! Start would be the key, if Lec can get bottas & Ham at start then it’s game on.

Hope they come out clean.

[Hornet]

Nice gesture to see CW son starting this race

[stefa]

So nothing special with softer tires?!

[fratelliferrari]

Snorefest is on already...

[TonyRizza]

gotta love this tyre choice

[stefa]

Brace for another dull and borefest race

[stefa]

I am off to tennis!

[vcs316]

Both the Haas drivers have pitted after making contact at the start of the lap! Grosjean nudged Magnussen off the circuit, and they banged wheels. Not what Haas needed this weekend.

[Ferrarichamp]

Grosjean again?

[vcs316]

Its an interesting battle amongst the top 5. Merc's are unable to open up a gap!

edit: looks like our tyres are fading

[stefa]

Its an interesting battle amongst the top 5. Merc's are unable to open up a gap!

Come again with that!?

[Arcana]

Another Merc borefest...

[TonyRizza]

idk why ferrari have to "do something different" it clearly doesnt work.... there is a reason EVERY TEAM would want to be on mediums for the start....

[stefa]

Like this, no chance any of Ferrari drivers will finish 3rd... I think 5th and 6th

[vcs316]

idk why ferrari have to "do something different" it clearly doesnt work.... there is a reason EVERY TEAM would want to be on mediums for the start....

Maybe our strategy team over-analyzes?

[TonyRizza]

Like this, no chance any of Ferrari drivers will finish 3rd... I think 5th and 6th

same

[TonyRizza]

Maybe our strategy team over-analyzes?

for the past like 4 years? the best strat has been quallify on the mediums for best race pace

idk why they suddenly think its wrong

[FerrariF60]

we have ZERO race pace....the merc's are .5s a lap faster then us.....we're NO WHERE

[vcs316]

we should pit soon, salvage whatever is possible.

[Kyss4k]

Weekend after weekend the story is getting more sad.

[stefa]

Tires already looks awful!

[stefa]

This is so sad...

[vcs316]

Tires already looks awful!

We should thank Binnoto for the "audacious & different" strategy

[TonyRizza]

vettel is **** lmao

[Arcana]

Lol Seb trashed by Gasly...

[tifosi1993]

Pit them now. There's no point keeping them out.

[stefa]

Obviously!

[stefa]

Thank you CL!

[tifosi1993]

Yes Charles

[TonyRizza]

even our pit crew are ****

[Rishu]

Boy Max v Charles is just awesome

[gvera]

Sebastian, you have sooo much to learn from Charles

[FerrariF60]

Thank you CL!

Stefa, thought you were off to TENNIS....

[stefa]

Million dollar question?! Why not pit SV now?!

[stefa]

Stefa, thought you were off to TENNIS....

One eye over here... Don't know why.... :-??

[Noquarter]

Ferrari no match for Red Bull :-(

[vcs316]

Million dollar question?! Why not pit SV now?!

Our strategists baffle me.

[drax]

Great battle, but we have zero race pace

[FerrariF60]

One one over here... Don't know why.... :-??

i know the fight between max and charles is TOO interesting

[stefa]

i know the fight between max and charles is TOO interesting

Yes :-D

[vcs316]

Its official. Red Bull HONDA is faster than a FERRARI.

[Kyss4k]

We are useless... the car... Let's go Ferrari! WAKE UP!!!

[Kyss4k]

At least we are making this race fun to watch... for a non Ferrari fans sadly

[Rishu]

Charles doing to Max what Max has been doing to others for years

[Hornet]

Mighty driving by Lec
Max getting a taste of his own medicine :-)

[vcs316]

SC!!

[Kyss4k]

Charles is awesome.

Aaaaand his race is ruined... everybody else pitted under SC but him.

[Rishu]

Sky having Orgasm, Lewis gained on SC

[stefa]

And LH in the lead! Luckiest guy ever!

[TonyRizza]

vettel fans will be saying hes better than leclerc now lmao

[Schumiklub]

How lucky is LH?

[stefa]

How lucky is LH?

As usual

[Lesky]

And LH in the lead! Luckiest guy ever!

Its unreal at this point, when Lewis leads THERE IS NEVER a safety car!

[FerrariF60]

vettel fans will be saying hes better than leclerc now lmao

LOL......especially DEAD EYES.....lmao
he'll say that it worked out for Vet as he tested all those parts on friday.....again LMFAO

[stefa]

And CL, but late....

[drax]

Oh god

[Arcana]

Seb's not deserving that 3rd place. Fantastic race by Charles, but his race is ruined...

[Kyss4k]

Now they pit Charles... LOL! I don't know anymore. What are we doing... This has to be a joke or what

[SilverSpeed]

Why pit Charles now omg Ferrari.

[Lesky]

Why was a safety car need and the FIA deciding the race result?

[TonyRizza]

sack the ****ing strategists now.... they are ****ing retards

[Rishu]

I would be mad if I’m Leclerc

[DefaultSettings]

Unlucky with SC Charles!!

[Schumiklub]

And the team ruined Charles' race. Come on!

[tifosi1993]

Not gonna waste my time figuring out Ferrari's strategy.

But I must say: mighty race-craft from Charles, giving that bully Max taste of his own Medicine.

[Mimo966]

what the actual ****...

[FerrariF60]

Seb's not deserving that 3rd place. Fantastic race by Charles, but his race is ruined...

totally agree with you

[wappad]

I would be mad if I’m Leclerc

He is..

[Kyss4k]

I would be mad if I’m Leclerc

We will lost him. He will leave Ferrari one day... This team is going downhill.

[DefaultSettings]

Why pit Charles now omg Ferrari.

Of all the left options pitting now is the fastest option I believe.

[drax]

Why pit Lec, the mediums would maybe last a few laps more under the SC, then with a lighter car he could have put another set of mediums for a hiper fast last stint

[TonyRizza]

vettel wont get 3rd, he cant even keep gasly behind

[FerrariF60]

Now they pit Charles... LOL! I don't know anymore. What are we doing... This has to be a joke or what

out pit wall mate is a JOKE......ABSOLUTE JOKE....AND TO BOOT, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PACE

[Ferrarichamp]

Now Ham will pull away...

[impactX]

Wow why didnt they pit him a lap earlier

[FerrariF60]

vettel wont get 3rd, he cant even keep gasly behind

so true

[bondilad]

What else does Charles have to prove ?? Ferrari has to pay more attention to him.

[DefaultSettings]

VAL BOT on meds meds which means one more stop for him!. Unluckiest of all top 6

[Rishu]

Gasly will pull aside for Max

[SilverSpeed]

Charles oh boy!

[drax]

Give priority to Charles, Ferrari, the guy is really, the real deal

[DefaultSettings]

Ferrari couldn't pit Charles on the first SC lap because VET had to pit. Pitting him sometime later after SC would have been worse than pitting him sometime during SC

[Mimo966]

F1 needs 10 verstapens and 10 leclercs ! WOW

[Rishu]

This race has provided more action than last 5 years combined

[Kyss4k]

Ferrari couldn't pit Charles on the first SC lap because VET had to pit. Rather than pitting him sometime later after SC would have been worse than pitting him sometime during SC

Double stack is a thing... everybody is doing it... and they weren't so close

[TonyRizza]

leclerc is a beast. IMAGINE if merc didnt exist, this championship would be amazing

[Cevertmyhero]

No point in watching this corrupt sport anymore. Just give ham all the trophies and don't bother racing. That was CLEARLY a vsc not a full sc. Cheating corrupt scum

[Rob]

Surely max gained advantage going off track.

Switched over from watching tour de france, see how things going.

[DefaultSettings]

LEC absolutely giving it back in MAD MAX style. I will stop watching F1 if LEC is given a penalty for driving MAD MAX style

[DefaultSettings]

I think a double stack would have resulted in the same positions as now

[racingbradley]

This race has provided more action than last 5 years combined

Thanks to Charles v Max
I don't understand our team's thinking!!!!!

[drax]

Merc also screwed up Bottas’s race he has to pit again

[Ferrarichamp]

so Bottas has to stop again?

[DefaultSettings]

I cant even believe they aren't investigating MAD MAX for overtaking Charles off track

[FerrariF60]

so Bottas has to stop again?

yep, perfect plan and coreoghaphed plan for Hamster to win......how lovely

[doublesixes]

Our car truly sucks. Third best. The Binotto tenure has been, so far, a fiasco.

[tifosi1993]

I think Ferrari should pit Charles at lap 42, he still has a brand new sets of soft tyres

[FerrariF60]

I cant even believe they aren't investigating MAD MAX for overtaking Charles off track

they turn a blind eye mate when a red bull is involved....especially with a Ferrari

[Kyss4k]

I cant even believe they aren't investigating MAD MAX for overtaking Charles off track

And driving into him

[bondilad]

Is the honda engine improved by that much ? They really have improved so much.

[FerrariF60]

I think Ferrari should pit Charles at lap 42, he still has a brand new sets of soft tyres

agree, at least get a fastest lap point....but who am i kidding we have ABSOLUTELY NO PACE

[TonyRizza]

both drivers were off the track... cmon we want racing not penalties... or atleast i do

[FerrariF60]

yo know red bull are THAT good when even Pierre is going good in that red bull....and chales in the donkey ferrari can't pass him

[Rishu]

Max v Vettel coming, scary

[Rob]

Oh look Brembo, you man max has rubenized Pierre.

[Warp]

Our car is too slow on corners.. As our strategist's brains..

[DefaultSettings]

both drivers were off the track... cmon we want racing not penalties... or atleast i do

Racing or not what we all want is consistency with the rules

[vcs316]

"Keep the pressure on, your battery's in a healthy state," Verstappen is told. "Get ready to take an early opportunity here."

[TonyRizza]

Racing or not what we all want is consistency with the rules

its consistent with last race...

[tifosi1993]

GOOO CHARLIE BOY

[Rishu]

[Kyss4k]

Charles!

[FerrariF60]

can't wait to see.....we already know that Seb can't race wheel to wheel.....he's only good in front like he was in hte RED BULL DAYS WITH EXHAUST BLOWN DIFFUSER

[drax]

Charles !!

[doublesixes]

We’ll finish 5th and 6th. Ferrari can only overtake backmarkers.

[FerrariF60]

dWAT A MOVE BY CHARLES

[Rishu]

I just hope VET defends Mad Max style

I just hope Red car doesn’t spin

[vcs316]

I heard something strange out of Turn 7 on pick-up - Max Verstappen

[TonyRizza]

leclerc is the best driver on the grid, hands down

[DefaultSettings]

STUNNING MOVE !! Charles

[Kyss4k]

Seb is done...

[FerrariF60]

vettel is ****ing ****, i ****ing told u

Vettel time to retire.

[tifosi1993]

TELL THAT TO DEAD EYES ON THIS FORUM......

"DEAD NEURON"

[Arcana]

Not sure what to say about it... at first look Seb binned it...

[FerrariF60]

Seb is done...

surely he has to retire at end of season.....HE'S DONE......HIS RACE CRAFT IS ZZZZZEEERRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ed Harley]

Vettel: "What was he doing?" :-D

[drax]

On the bright side, can we finally name Charles as our number one driver ?

[Rishu]

Vettel: "What was he doing?" :-D

Yeah Max brake tested him

[Aziz]

Seb is done...

OK, we should fire him definitely, payin him 40mil for this is just stupid

[Arcana]

To me it's like Baku 2018. Max changed direction under braking. It's more like 50/50 fault.

[Kyss4k]

Seb is done in this race...

[TonyRizza]

i said to my gf,

"vettel will spin, or get overtaken within 2 corners by max, whereas charles on worse tyres kept him behind for 20 laps"

lmao.... 0 confidence in vettel

[Ed Harley]

Yeah Max brake tested him
No.

[DefaultSettings]

Did MAX just brake test him? He seemed to brake a lil earlier to me watching the replays

[tifosi1993]

Charles should be number 1 driver. He has, yet again, showed today that he is Ferrari's future and the next Ferrari WDC.

[Rishu]

No.

I’m saying Vettel’s version of the incident

[Ferrari312T4]

Yeah, bye Vettel let's go and have a look at the driversmarket.

[FerrariF60]

Here comes penalty!

hopefully a BLACK FLAG......seb is done in F1.....i can't believe i'm saying this of our ferrair driver....but man, he doesn't knwo how to race.....becaue he doesn't have that EBD red bull rocket he had back from 2010-2013

[Rishu]

Leclerc gets his rightly deserved P3

[chinmay]

Now Leclerc can finish on the podium. Without that incident, Leclerc would have finished 5th.

[Arcana]

Leclerc gets his rightly deserved P3

This!!!

[stefa]

With all things happening in Ferrari for years now, there should be some serious CTR+ALT+DEL pressed couple of times

[Schumiklub]

Mercedes 1.5s faster than us. That's depressing.

[Ferrari312T4]

Leclerc gets his rightly deserved P3

Perhaps a second place, if Bottas pits

[TonyRizza]

Now Leclerc can finish on the podium. Without that incident, Leclerc would have finished 5th.

is that meant to be a justification? xD

[bondilad]

Yeah, bye Vettel let's go and have a look at the driversmarket.

Yeah like thats the answer for our problems.....

[KimiBot]

Leclerc gets his rightly deserved P3

P2? Bottas has to pit?

[drax]

Now remove Merc from this race, and what a race we would have had

[Noquarter]

10s penalty for Finger Boy

[Rishu]

Now Leclerc can finish on the podium. Without that incident, Leclerc would have finished 5th.

Where were you when SC robbed him?

[Ferrari312T4]

10 sec penalty, Sebs should save his engine and park in the garage.

[FerrariF60]

Yeah, bye Vettel let's go and have a look at the driversmarket.

i've been saying that since teh beginning of 2019......something swithced OFF in his head ever since he lost the race in Germany 2018.....he's NOT THE SAME EVER SINCE

[Arcana]

10s time penalty for Seb... oh well... he's done...

[Warp]

abysmal pace..

[DefaultSettings]

Time to sack VET mid season. A disgruntled VET is as useless as a Karun Chandok in an F1 car

[tifosi1993]

Now Leclerc can finish on the podium. Without that incident, Leclerc would have finished 5th.

Yeah he is so generous. :rotfl

Can't accept the fact can you!? FACE IT, you sweetheart is in P17 because of HIS OWN DAMN FAULT. He should learn how to race and defend from his much younger teammate.

[chinmay]

Now remove Merc from this race, and what a race we would have had

Yes, what a difference those 2 silver cars make. Ferrari and Red Bull have a history of making cars closer to each other. They have been fighting each other since the start of this decade.

[Arcana]

i've been saying that since teh beginning of 2019......something swithced OFF in his head ever since he lost the race in Germany 2018.....he's NOT THE SAME EVER SINCE

Yes I have been saying the same thing... he was just not the same after Germany 2018. The last time he drove like a champion was in Silverstone 2018.

[doublesixes]

Well, 4th and last. Not bad at all.

[chinmay]

Where were you when SC robbed him?

Well what I said was because of that, Leclerc can get what he deserved - a podium.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Vettel and Max both messed up there. Max obviously can't zigzag like crazy in the braking zone and then get surprised when the driver behind him makes a mistake, he got his own penalty by losing the podium - served him right.

As for Vettel's performance, where's that emoji where you put a bag over the head? It would be needed now...

[Mimo966]

Is Gasly catching up Lec now?

[Kyss4k]

You know what is the worst thing about all this? We can't believe in our team... There was not 1 race weekend this year when we didn't mess it up. We have to watch the races with fear in our eyes, telling ourselves "what will they do this time?" Remeber those times, when we had great pace, great strategy, drivers not doing rookie mistakes...?

[chinmay]

Good that Verstappen is getting what he used to give to other drivers - ruining their race especially Vettel's. Now, Verstappen's race is ruined. Oh the cycle!

[drax]

Is Gasly catching up Lec now?

Nope, I think Charles is just controlling the difference

[Kyss4k]

10 sec penalty, Sebs should save his engine and park in the garage.

Save the engine for what?

[chinmay]

You know what is the worst thing about all this? We can't believe in our team... There was not 1 race weekend this year when we didn't messed it up.

Hungary 2017? 1-2 but Vettel's steering wheel had an issue.

[TonyRizza]

spinning in the next race

[IulianFerrari]

yep, hindsight is a $%^#@....

[Kyss4k]

spinning in the next race

Oh! Ok then, that should be fun

[Tifoso Svedese]

Merc just trolling, disgusting

Obviously taking Bottas out of contention just to get Hammy a free win and the adulation of the biased Autosport journos as the greatest (fluke) of all time (pukes).

[chinmay]

Brundle says it was racing incident, Sky are surprisingly not blaming Vettel alone for that incident.

[drax]

Should have kept Kimi

Doing a decent race on P8 another points finish

[Arcana]

Should have kept Kimi

Instead of Seb... yes... but Ricciardo is a better option.

[IulianFerrari]

CL asking where is LH :rotfl

Most random question on the radio today... Might aswell have asked about Albon.

[FerrariF60]

why isn't Seb retiring and saving engine??? oh wait, as DEAD EYES has been saying he's testing parts for Ferrari for next year.....what a bone head that troll is

[springfield]

Bottas had to pit, he used only mediums up to then

[Lesky]

FIA ruined a great show again with the SC.

[stefa]

Most random question on the radio today... Might aswell have asked about Albon.

Ahead of Ricciardo in a slower car. Ricciardo makes too many mistakes this year, like Seb

[Tifoso Svedese]

Bottas had to pit, he used only mediums up to then

Well that was the whole problem - Mercedes giving Hammy a better strategy even though the other guy started on pole. 100 % on purpose.

[TonyRizza]

hamilton is over rated, couldnt over take bottas on track lol

[Rishu]

Brundle says it was racing incident, Sky are surprisingly not blaming Vettel alone for that incident.

I swear I heard him say Vettel’s fault

[FerrariF60]

with Seb's performances as of late, we're surely gonna lose THIRD in the WCC to red fulls......

[TonyRizza]

I swear I heard him say Vettel’s fault

thats cause he did and it was

Well that was the whole problem - Mercedes giving Hammy a better strategy even though the other guy started on pole. 100 % on purpose.

Yeah, Mercedes knew there will be a SC :roll

[Rob]

why isn't Seb retiring and saving engine??? oh wait, as DEAD EYES has been saying he's testing parts for Ferrari for next year.....what a bone head that troll is

Please, stop calling fellow member childish names. Just because you don't agree with their opinions.

[chinmay]

I swear I heard him say Vettel’s fault

I read on Sky Live Blog, Brundle saying it was racing incident.

[nani_s23]

+1111 ...

[Arcana]

why isn't Seb retiring and saving engine??? oh wait, as DEAD EYES has been saying he's testing parts for Ferrari for next year.....what a bone head that troll is

He's right. Dead Eyes is 100% right. Seb is testing the parts' durability in races. The question is: can the car hold and finish the race when crashing into others ?

[Kyss4k]

At start of the tests, we thought we have the best cars, some even feared, there could come a Ferrari domination... instead of that we have a Ferrari embarrassment and Mercedes biggest domination since 2014. Great job.

[chinmay]

But stewards are really quick in awarding Vettel a penalty.

Should have kept Kimi

Agreed. We should've kept Raikkonen, him and Charles would've been a good team. Also we would've saved extra 40-50 millions

Merc P1-P2 at home race, oh what a surprise..

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yeah, Mercedes knew there will be a SC :roll

Standard procedure would've been to run the same set of tyres in each stint all through the race, such as the Hammy/Nico days. Apparently now though, they're looking for excuses to boot Bottas at the end of the season so even though he's the only threat left in the championship they're still screwing him over.

He's right. Dead Eyes is 100% right. Seb is testing the parts' durability in races. The question is: can the car hold and finish the race when crashing into others ?

Vettel post race: Front wing is not very strong

[nani_s23]

I swear I heard him say Vettel’s fault

First he said Vettel’s fault.. later after watching couple of replays, he said ferrari can argue that max left no space inside the line also it’s a braking zone .. so it’s a racing incident he said.

I think vettel should retire at the end of 2019 or need a break in F1.

But stewards are really quick in awarding Vettel a penalty.

yeah cause it was obvioius

merc doing fastest lap with old tyres... not even a competition this year

Vettel post race: Front wing is not very strong

I think he’s not that kind of guy to push the blame on the car.
He himself states, I’m not comfortable with the car. He backs the team very much.

No. You see, Vet was going to come into the pits and test the new wing anyway. Might as well put the old one to good use.

[tifosi1993]

That was ******* epic from Charles. What a drive. :clap

Hamilton 1:27.369 on the last lap....:lol

[Kyss4k]

Hamilton FL at the last lap on old tyres... does ANYONE still believe anyone can catch Mercedes? This is Formula Mercedes and all others are just pawns to fill the grid

[KimiBot]

:furious:furious:furious:furious:furious

It’s a front end limited track where u need enough DF.
This where mercs are strong at. This is where ferrari lack too.

[drax]

These tires are stupid, there is no advantage from mediums to hards or even softs

Back to the cricket match then.
