F1 2019 season

I have no idea what any of that means , would it have given them that much of an advantage ?
Not hugely, in a wet weather start, possibly. They have a parameter window they need to set the clutch torque for at the start, and they were outside of it. The usual penalty is a 10 second stop & go, hence the 30 seconds post race.
A great race for all the wrong reasons, some really poor strategy calls all over the show today. Merc's imploded on their home territory - and Netflix had it all on camera this weekend (Mercedes were the focus for the German GP in their schedule). Can't wait to watch that next season.
Best race in years. Glad I bothered to watch.
So why is Hockenheim off the calendar next season? Is it money?
A shame because it's a fantastic circuit and the fans were great. feck that French monstrosity off instead!

It's always money, Hockenheim should be protected on the calendar and it always provides a decent race wet or dry.
Interesting comments about Lewis by Max.
Looking forward to Qualifying in a couple of hours. Love the narrow, twisty circuit of the Hungaroring. Predicting Lewis, Max front row.
I remember Santi saying he was planning to go to this one IIRC. Hi Santi!

Q1 starts very soon , top 4 all pretty close in FP, less than a tenth separate the top 3.
This should be a good qualifying on a very tight track.

when the Q1 start's time?
just started 14:00 uk time
Seb is flying in Q1, along with Max ,Max just set a new track record.
Lecleac , spin in Q1 , hits the barrier,
What a monster is Max. On fire
Out in Q1
Russell, Perez, Ricciardo, Stroll, Kubica
But so, so close for George Russell - he missed out by five one hundreths of a second from his first-ever Q2 appearance. But what a performance given his machinery!

So close for Russell. Brilliant even if he didnt make it through.
Lewis sets new track record , 1:15.548 but Max is just 0.025 behind.
Hamilton, Verstappen and Bottas all ducked into the pits at the end of their soft tyre laps.
So that means all of the top six will start tomorrow's race on the mediums.

Looking like Max's first pole going by those soft runs at the end of Q2.
Looks that way , but lets see
WOW Max has a rocket up his arse !!
WOW what a Q3.
Max pole , Bottas 2nd Lewis 3rd Leclerc 4th Seb 5th and Gasley 6th

Wow, where have Redbull come from. Unbelievable. All this talk of Ferrari Vs Merc and Redbull come from nowhere and are showing Ferrari how its done.
RB have Max which on ascending form since 2018's summer break tbh. He is really flying now.
Lets see if he can convert his Pole to a race win, going to be a good race I think.
As well as Max's first pole, that's Honda's first since Australia 2006!
Speaking of RB, Gasly really needs to be replace. They will challenge Ferrari more closely if not for his mediocre first half season.
Honda really get massive help from Newey's car tbh. All they need is a reliable engine. Put Merc's or Ferrari's engine, they will blowing out those track.
Max has been talking a lot since last weekend and he followed it up with the walk today. Fair play. I hope he can complete it and win tomorrow
Surprised Bottas got so close in the end, another dodgy quali for Lewis though... Wonder if his DRS was playing up, nowhere in S1 on both runs.
Which is why I put him in my fantasy team this week
He's basically driving like a Champion and has been for quite some time. He and Lewis are basically operating on the same level.
Gasly's performance is simply not good enough. Even though Max is probably the best driver on the grid right now, there's no excuse for being almost a second down. They should get in somewhat like Hulkenberg or Kvyat to be a solid number two. Hoping Max can convert the pole to a win tomorrow. Want there to be some drama along the way though of course.
Half the walk , stunning Q3 with a monster time, but he now needs to get the race win.
Hope Max can get the Red Bull off the start line properly this time, they've struggled a few times recently.
Expecting a close race without overtaking?

Great shout, theres video of it not opening out of the final corner at the end of his final lap so looks like that was the problem.
It's going to be interesting to see the Mercs having to catch Max from the start. Shame the break is coming up just when it's getting interesting.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Max lead from Starr to finish. He's shown he can lead from the front with the best of them, although I appreciate he hasn't done it from Pole.
Stroll is fecking useless. His list of excuses is as large as the amount of money his old man is pumping into racing point to keep him in f1.
