    Jesus... Prema in P18-P19 for F2 this week

    They need to sort their setups out ahead of the season, thats terrible for them

    Massive surprise to see Prema absolutely nowhere, looks like a major setup issue. 

    Bortoletto sticking it front row is very very interesting. 

    Very impressive laps from Miyata and Barnard as rookies. 
  • As always in F2 it's massively important to qualify in the top 10.

    Prema haven't got to grips with the new car it seems

    GP is Saturday this week, and for the Jeddah GP.

    thanks for pointing that out.  I didn't realise...

    Ah bugger.  3pm start.  I'm at WHL Saturday to scream abuse at the stripey nigels.
  • Might just be the track for Prema, Vesti and Bearman didnt finish in the points there last year either...

    But qualified 5th and 12th, respectively and Vesti's feature race ended on lap 1 with collision damage.

    Seems someone has anonymously just sent all the Horner evidence to almost all the Journalists in the F1 world by the sound of things.


  • Interesting timings from FP1 and FP2. Not sure too much should be read into them, but they're kind of all over the place. RB will presumably rock up at Qualifying and immediately go a second faster than everyone else, or ere the other teams all sandbagging more than we thought in testing and there's actually hope of some competitive racing?

    The other teams were never going to be satisfied with Red Bull saying "we've looked into it and everything is okay" and some of the team principals have already said so.
    Hopefully this continues to hang over Red Bull until they finally decide to give the smug shit the push.

    Didn't think the Horner saga was over. 

    Mercs top FP2, is there hope we might get some competition for Max? :open_mouth:
  • Or are Red Bull just ball-bagging, erm, sorry... I mean sand-bagging.

    You appear to have a real issue with someone, I presume, that you have never met or who has not given you a problem personally. I cant see why anyone should feel this way about a stranger.

  • Ignore the middle message... But there are even suggestions now the actual evidence was fake, hence why it didnt make it to court in the first place.

    "Whoever sent it, has it out for Horner". Probably not Helmut Marko or Max/Jos Verstappen then. Doesn't narrow it down much beyond that though.

  • Lindblad looking much better in F3 this morning compared to his Formula Regional Championship at the start of the year.

    Seeing the hype now, very aggressive, going to be fun to watch, but can see him pissing off the wrong people at times.

    Lindblad away from the pack for the win.

    Well that was f**king outstanding from Lindblad

    I know the others got caught in a fight but won with a 5.5sec lead!!

    Will be interesting to see where he ends up from P8 tomorrow
  • Prema really are providing Bearman and Antonelli with the Ferrari experience arent they
  • What a bizarre Sprint race for F2.

    Great win for Maloney, load of bollocks from Red Bull to get rid of him

    I don't understand what Red Bull see in Hajiar. Far too temperamental, would have kept Zane over him easily. 

    Excited to see Gabi Bortoleto pick up where he left off from F3 and Ritomo Miyata is going to surprise a lot of people when he gets fully acclimated to the F2 tyres.

    No doubt Verstappen is a great driver in a great car…but it’s just boring for most F1 fans .., it needs mixing up a bit for the good of F1.

    Saying that 2-9 are so close, could be a great race if you ignore Max out in front
