I saw somewhere that HAM could face a 10 place grid penalty if he gets another reprimand, since he's had two in the last few races.

I assume he is going to focus on keeping it as clean as possible in the last practice and qualifying.

No clue why... Ham looked solid and from the looks, Max is a lot better on the softs, so almost guaranteed a 2 stopper for him.

There was a comment made by the Sky Sports crew during the last part of FP2 that Max had a better pace on a heavy fuel load. Then they started talking about how one or both could be sandbagging, etc.

Yikes! It appears Pirelli wasn't aware of the new Abu Dhabi kerbs...



According to The Race the kerbs are being altered tonight.

Kind of shitty teams go on two practice sessions and modify, change based off of that setup and then things are changed… hmm, did Merc ask for some modification?

Unless there is a safety concern, there probably shouldn't be any changes made at this point.

Well, Pirelli seem to be the ones asking for it. So it is likely safety related.

What's gotten into Tsunoda? He outpaced Gasly in all three practice sessions. That's gotta be the first time he's done that. And finishing P5-P7-P6, he's showing both speed and consistency—very Gasly-like and very un-Tsunoda-like. You'd think he was driving to keep his seat, but it's already secure for next year. I hope I didn't jinx him for qualy.

That joke was in jest…. I’ve said Merc is an amazing team and Hamilton is a great driver outside of his attitude and SJW bullshite. Just like I’ve said Max is an a-hole and crybaby.

I honestly don’t really give a shite who wins the championship as long as it’s fair and interesting.

Looks like Ham had pace in 3, but was RB sandbagging?

Getting into and out of the harbor looks to be such a pain in the arse. That harbor seems pretty far from open water

Have a bad feeling that either Ham or Max will DNF and we won’t get a fight til the end of the season

One lap in and the Mercs look to be much faster.

Nah, Max’s first lap is almost always slower. Plus said RB still playing with downforce and whether they want top line speed or handling.
