Gasly and Tsunoda both top 5 in FP1

Where all are they enforcing it? Last year it was just on the last turn that things were really enforced.
And on the pit regulation, just saw a replay of Bottas spinning out in the pits. Talk about an unsafe release

makes sense that automating a sensor to signal the tire is secure could save a few tenths of a second

Another race, another opportunity to see how Tsunoda screws up qualifying. It's a high-pressure situation and he's a head case. You'd think they would have a driver coach helping him to stay focused on how to handle each lap. The pressure seems to eat him up.

75% chance of rain... does not look likely then

He was just handed a 3 place grid drop and penalty points. He said they were trying something new to get out of the pits faster, leaving in 2nd gear. Sounded like in the onboard he wacked the shite out of the throttle right before the spin. Even came on the radio and said something to the effect of "how was that for a tire warm up?".

He has been such a rollercoaster so far... shows promise and talent one minute, and then looks like the asian mazepin the next minute
The last two races are perfect examples of this
Strong in Baku, dog crap in France
I agree he needs a coach/handler

During last week's practice sessions, they talked about how he has one who controls what/when he eats, he has to work out 4 hrs/day, etc. Every portion of his life is controlled...
Maybe he needs a better coach...or maybe he needs a bit of freedom.

I hope AT goes this route instead. How awesome would a Japanese Kimi Raikkonen be for F1?

You mean a drunk Yuki?

It appears the new technical directives involving automation on pit stops probably did center around the guns and wheel nuts
More than likely it was an active sensor sending a signal that the gun was, at the very least, removed from the nut... unlike using the the push button to indicate the work was finished

Pit stops are going to be very interesting to watch when this is implemented

Man Bottas is done. That guy is completely checking out.

I love those tech talk videos.. I never knew the jacks let down automatically when the light goes green.

Apparently Yuki goes into a red fog. It has been mentioned, but I think commentators don't really know how to address it. He has said he has issues that he needs to get under control.

which is crazy considering how much fun they showed them having this week in the lead up to this race. Plane rides with Yuki looking scared and shocked ride-alongs with him looking scared and shocked.

Qualifying is damn near as exciting as the race.

It really is. There have been plenty of times where I'm fist pumping on a saturday and snoozing on a sunday. This year isn't as drastic.
WTH happened to Vettel?

Ferrari is sinking back into obscurity. Oh well, they had a brief, cheaty moment of success.
