Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Della Toscana Ferrari 1000 2020Formula 1

[DesertPenguin]

@DesertPenguin Max's interview was first, so they cut the beginning.

The cutting away after is still a joke. It's like when they say they cover qualifying they literally mean just the time when cars are qualifying. After that it's over as far as they're concerned. Really disrespectful

It's probably that, but honestly you're not missing much.

I actually enjoy the interviews and listening to the drivers talk about what they did. I get more enjoyment out of the "how" in life than anything else.

 

[PeterJB]

F3 this morning proved that overtakes into turn 1 are more than possible so hopefully the same happens tomorrow.

 

[AshenGraey]

The F2 feature race is also proving that too. So far, it's seems like 95% of all overtakes have been down the straight to turn 1. That being said, I'm positive the F1 race will just be about tire wear.

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Verstappen was slightly launched by one last week at Monza and there have been a few other mild ones over the years.

This one at Spa a few years ago in F3



Sophia Floersch is another well-known one.

Heidfeld in the first FE race



Those sausage kerbs are really not a good idea.

I hadn't seen those other ones. Thanks for sharing

That being said, I'm positive the F1 race will just be about tire wear.

And maybe mechanical failures. The constant high g's combined with Sundays forecast (86F, hottest day thus far), and I think we'll see at least a couple mechanicals (probably from Haas/Alfa/Ferrari)

 

[Jimlaad43]

If the F2 and F3 races are anything to go by, Safety Car restarts here are absolutely manic into T1 and through the first section of corners. If we gat a full SC that restart could be mental.

 

[Grand Prix]

It's really fun to watch them trail brake into these long sweeping curves. Mugello is so different from what they usually race on.

If the racing is going to be crap in F1, I'd rather see crap races on beautiful and flowing tracks like this, than crap races on boring parking lots. In my nutcase opinion.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I think they're just taking the approach that the grass and gravel provides a natural limit and it's the same for everyone, so it's fair.



Which seems lazy, on the face of it. Although as you can see, they don't seem to actually mention T13 or the final turn.

That's how it should be!

Well Sochi is next so enjoy Mugello while it lasts

 

[PeterJB]

3,000 spectators have been allowed on site today, that's nice.

 

[Ether]

Assuming the Mercs run away with this (likely), I'm looking forward to seeing if Gasly can slice his way up into the top 6 from P16. Also hoping Albon can turn P4 into a P3.

 

[PeterJB]

Verstappen's having engine troubles already on the reconnaissance laps. Just need Bottas to fluff the start again and it's plain sailing for Hamilton.

 

[PaMu1337]

Max is having an electronics issue on the grid

 

[BrainsBush]

Max is having an electronics issue on the grid

pfff here we go again. Hopefully the engineers can solve it again...

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Button: "You keep pushing me to the wall"

 

[andrea]

Damn it. Come on RBR mechanics, work your magic again.

 

[BrainsBush]

They* know how to create some extra stress for the audience.

* RBR, and the engineers/mechanics fixed it again. JIT

 

[PaMu1337]

And all the work was for nothing

 

[McLaren]

Wow.... Poor Max.

 

[BrainsBush]

Max car not fixed.....and then collision.

 

[Touring Mars]

Max Verstucken...

 

[DesertPenguin]

Safety Car

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Gassly out as well.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Thankfully Sainz didn't get T-Boned there

 

[PaMu1337]

Looks like Gasly initiated that

 

[PeterJB]

What is wrong with Verstappen's race starts? He should never have been that far back.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Verstappen is fuming and rightly so.

 

[DesertPenguin]

The burgundy looks great in the sunlight but it's too dark everywhere else.
