I used to be excited about F1 cars racing in the rain, but those days are mostly over. They will now cancel the entire race if there are any actual hazardous conditions.
I'm okay with it. No reason for this.

AMuS reports that the problem concerning the driveshaft is solved. A screw on the side of the gearbox had come loose. So it's not a fundamental problem.

FP3!

I think they said 30% chance of rain. Even if no rain, the temps will less than optimal. Everyone complaining about low grip.

I have come to hate Will Buxton.

Sam Collins sucks as well.

*I'm watching on F1TV. Are they on ESPN for practices as well? I avoid gasbag Crofty during the races.

I think I hear Karun. I don't think I've heard or seen Buxton, but I don't pay close attention to the talking heads. I think I have an attention problem.

OK, Ted Kravitz is in the pits.

Hulk totally balked Perez! That didn't look good.

They're really picking up the pace. I guess the surface conditions are improving.

Simulating a full race stint, to examine tire wear and the balance of the car when it's heavier at the beginning of the stint.

They load the car with more fuel to get an idea how it will run in the race. They will run a number of laps.

On low fuel runs they are making qualifying simulations and only carry enough fuel for a lap (sometimes two if the tires need heat) of qualifying pace.

The cars are very weight sensitive so you will see some big differences in lap times depending on how much fuel they are carrying.

And on Q sim laps they aren't trying to save the tires, unlike race sim (high fuel) laps.

Lando's car is broken again.

Wasn't able to do a qualy sim. Won't be fully prepared for qualy coming up. He may quit mid-season.
