Charles is right up there with the 3 big boys! A podium finish is possible! Stefa thanks for starting this thread. Tifosi , glad you were here!
What a fun track! Looks like such an old school track with all the undulation and off camber turns. In fact, I did a double take because some of the turns look straight out of Interlagos. Should be fun visuals for the race!
Charles looking handy with the new package changes. Well done to the team, I'm sure working under such scrutiny, stress couldn't have made for a fun work environment.

They're apparently testing 2021 tyres for the first 30 minutes of FP2.

it seems that our updates only work when we are deep in the **** hole.
when on top we cannot handle it

Gasly's car is literally toast.
Glad he's okay.
Red Flag.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Stroll hits Verstappen
F3 School yard level racing. Both needs to get the book thrown at them.
Both Max and Stroll under investigation.
It's not how start but how you finish.
What a ridiculous collision. Egos getting in the way of getting work done. Stupid school children errors on both drivers.
"Lance did not know that Max was there"-Otmar...lol
Not of fan of NASCAR but they do alot of team radio about traffic on the right or left of the lead car.
Why can't team radio do the same...in this case to Strol. "Traffic on your right....traffic on your right."
It's not how start but how you finish.
