Enfin de la F1 après la semaine du football de l'enfer ... French F1 2019

[Black_White]

What a week.
Thankfully the pure sport of F1 is upon us.
Yeah, I know, I know....
French GP 2019. How will the Renault’s go in their home GP?
All to play for.

When I first saw that, I thought it was spam and was going to report it.

But hey, this could become a thing with our F1 race threads?

Local boys didn't have a great weekend last year.
Gasly, Ocon DNF and Grosjean 11th.

Double points finish for Renault - Danny Ricc will find something and Hulk is due for a good result.

 

[Black_White]

FP1 almost finished and Renault have done squat.
Hopefully they are doing a lot of instillation laps.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

It's just practice.

Well well well...

If the FIA are balanced and consistent with anything, Ol' Lewy will get himself a 3 spot grid penalty in Qualy for unsafe return to the track and forcing Max off.

But we all know that wont happen.

Just for clarity - Vettel's penalty was BS and this one if delivered will be too - if ******* racing - but the pillocks in the decision box will find a way to * it up again.

Nailed it. Lewis “#blessed” Hamilton keeps his win and no penalty.

McLaren fastest of the rest I reckon this weekend.

 

[hey shorty]

Danny Ric starting to assert himself over Hulk in quali

 

[FR0GGY]

“Lance, Checo is faster than you”

 

[Magma]

another riveting qualifying

 

[Macca81]

Vettel slow af

 

[happy_eagle]

another riveting qualifying

Should be another Mercedes 1/2 tomorrow as well.

 

[larrikin]

No penalty to Ricciardo ir Raikkonen. Good to see. Just wrong place wrong time.

Looks good. But this qualy shouldn’t really count as they didn’t have equal equipment.

 

[DamoESP]

Its funny, after last year, this season was looking like it would be a tough hard fight between Merc and Ferrari and that it would be a long battle throughout the year.....but after 7 races this season already looks done and dusted.

Looks good. But this qualy shouldn’t really count as they didn’t have equal equipment.

Perhaps but that makes it 7-1 for Ricciardo in quali this season. Only out qualified in R1 (by 0.08).

Commentators also said that the engine upgrade (not sure if accurate) was worth around a tenth and the gap between them was bigger than that in quali (nearly 2 tenths).

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Yeah, it's something Hulkenberg would want to address soon. If nothing else, to stop it from becoming a bigger issue.

 

[Black_White]

Did that Renault guy just say they are looking to fight for wins in ‘21?
Would hope they were more advanced than that.

 

[smasha]

McLaren the big movers so far but cmon Renault,loving the yellow and black in the crowd.

Fair enough.
I just like comparing like for like. Even with comparable equipment I would like to think our boy would still have had it over the Hulk.

 

[Black_White]

What’s the Brisbane Lions doing in France?

 

[Doc_]

This track looks horrendous.

He beat him by 2 tenths, the engine upgrade was said to be worth just under a tenth.

Still counts imo

 

[davis_756]

We are due a 1st lap crash, been a boring season on all fronts.
