Don't like this track at all but that said, a Ferrari win would make it bearable :D

[Liscia]

+1 and probably won't watch live. May watch lowlights afterwards so as not to waste time - and for the rest of the remaining calendar too.

Motorsport IT reports that Ferrari decided to change Leclerc's engine. He will drop five positions on the US GP grid because the engineers have approved the installation of PU 6.

I assume it's just the ICE with recent modifications for reliability, a 5 place penalty is better than starting at the back but also more risk of collisions at the start. I really want Charles to keep P2 in the WDC standings.

Unlikely, sadly..

Sad news but he lost P2 last race...

It’s difficult at the moment. Our current car back to 2019 car. Tyre eating machine.

Perez is carrying good form 1st in Singapore & 2nd in Japan.

[nani_s23]

Robert Shwartzman will drive for Ferrari in FP1 instead of Charles Leclerc at CotA, as part of the 2 mandatory free practice sessions for young drivers.

I will not watch the race as I am going to concert.

I suspect you will enjoy the concert far more. Hope I'm wrong and you miss a Ferrari 1-2..!

Have fun at the concert, you’ll probably enjoy that more

For sure I am! I am going to see GODSMACK! Saw them before pandemic. Great band live! It would be great that I read after the concert that we have 1-2, but....

God give me strength! :furious

I'm surprised Charles isn't getting a negative message here, first they give FP1 to Schwartzman in his car and then put Charles at the back of the grid for the race...I understand the reasons but even so, he deserves better!:roll

It's due the else you need to do a full FP2 for Pirelli 2023 prototype tyres. If you use a youngster in FP1 then you can drive with the race tyres in FP2.

ha, ha...i'll be 49 next spring; i too love heavy metal, as a matter of fact i went to a Maiden concert couple of weeks ago "Legacy of the Beast" here in Hamilton Canada....absolutely loved it

[FerrariF60]

thanks

Been also on 24th of May when they played in Belgrade. Great, but I missed songs from Somewhere in time...

Charles at the back of the grid? He will take pole and start P6.

[WS6TransAm01]

The times are all over the place.

Can’t tell anything from them.

yeah, "somewhere in time" is one of my favorite albums as well.....but still it was nice to see them again; last time i saw them in concert was in 2017

[wisepie]

As far as the latest info I've seen is concerned, Charles is taking a full engine/PU change, but the info isn't consistent so who knows?!

:-D:-D

A very, very eclectic mix in my 'record collection' but currently listening to a fair bit of (old) Dio and Metallica. First LP bought (circa 1972/3..) was Sabbath, either Vol 4 or Master of Reality, can't remember! :Hmm

Old rockers never die! 63 and feeling anything from 21 to 95 depending on the circumstances!

Back to the thread - does LEC actually have a back of grid penalty? Nothing on the BBC site so far. :Hmm

No idea of what penalty Charles may have to take but the last item I saw yesterday said back of the grid for whole new PU6. Hardly surprising BBC don't mention F1 unless HAM wins something. Keep on rockin', and I'm older than you, so not into heavy metal!;-)

[racingbradley]

Does anyone know what penalty Charles will have to take?

[458 Italia]

10 places.

[racingbradley]

10 places.

Thanks for that. He needs pole. :pray:pray

Engine and Turbo according to Sky.

Dietrich Mateschitz - Red Bull owner - has died at the age of 78. RIP

[ferrari1.8t]

Saniz with the un-upgraded engine .498 faster than Charles?

[tifosi1993]

Both Haas out of Q1. Not a good showing at their home GP.

[Greig]

Well done Carlos P1.

[ferrari1.8t]

Congratulations, Ferrari 1-2! Grande Carlos,

But so much for an updated Ferrari PU in Charles car…

[tifosi1993]

Pole for Sainz, hopefully his pace will remain strong tomorrow.

Charles will start P12

[guro]

Congratulations, Ferrari 1-2! Grande Carlos,

it is not because of engine, Charles made two mistakes in his last lap... i think that without these mistakes he could take pole position easily

[stasera]

grande sainz

[ferrari1.8t]

Still very disappointed that Verstappen is still so close. 0.098 off…to close for comfort. I know we were trying to fix reliability with this update, but we still need more performance if we are going to mount a championship challenge next season.

Anyway, here’s hoping for a Ferrari win tomorrow.

[jgonzalesm6]

Max exceeded track limits in Q1..............................................bu uuuuut the stewards didn't call it.

[WS6TransAm01]

Do we know what the grid is going to be with all penalties considered?

[FerrariF60]

Congratulations, Ferrari 1-2! Grande Carlos,

rumors say that is just another engine of the same spec; no upgrades at all...i dont' know if true

[FerrariF60]

Pole for Sainz, hopefully his pace will remain strong tomorrow.

Charles will start P12

doubt it; prolly our car is still a tire eating machine; they better get it sorted out for next year as this years budget is pretty much gone

[stefa]

Just woke up. Nice!

[patrese86]

Good job, really hope we manage the tyres better but I can't see it. Should be fun watching Charles battle through.

Agreed, but still some confusion over whether Charles has the 'upgraded' engine with new specific parts to aid reliability and allow full power to be deployed. P12 is a bit worrying as it always is starting mid-field. Good for Carlos and at least Checo also has a penalty so all is not lost for P2 in the WDC for Charles.....yet.

[patrese86]

Wrong thread nvm
