I respect it. They saw a small window to put in some fast laps on softs and they capitalized on it in a big way.

how do y'all feel about race weekends with these later than usual session start times?
I hate them, give me my 8-9am sessions!
How about you Euros/Asians? Are these times better or worse?
UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.

there's nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari
As an American, I greatly dislike the later times when races are on this side of the world. I don't mind waking up like 6,7,8am or whatever to watch a session. Or even staying up very late til like 4am. Even on Fridays for FP1 and FP2.
Idk, I like getting F1 "out of the way" so to speak, then I can do whatever else I need to do for rest of the day.
Like right now, it's 12:30p for me. That's not terrible since it's lunch time. But FP2 is at like 4pm; I tend to take a nap around then. If I was still working from the office, I'd be leaving the office around then.
European here, if I don't have anything planned for the weekend, I love them. If I plan a night out on Saturday, I hate them. Right now, I love it.

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.

I know that this post is for the full weekend. Could we still have a separate race discussion? I think this would make it a bit better to kepp an overview.
There are a couple of reason why I'm going to say no to this now.
- I don't want to change how we're operating a race weekend during the race weekend.
- I'd like to see the experiment of one post per race weekend through.
If we get enough feedback asking for more granular threads then when will absolutely consider how we change things for future races.
Tomorrow there will be a post-race discussion. Perhaps in there you can make this point again?
Good call on not changing things as we're going! I personally do prefer to have separate threads, definitely easier for me to avoid spoilers that way when watching after the fact as opposed to live.

🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
Top 3
HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027
SAI +0.126
I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
Is it 0% chance of race before and during the race or just during?
I recall the weather prediction a few days ago said rain during the race is unlikely but there could be rain a few hours beforehand.
Seems like lemmy.ml is having some trouble pushing out comments to other instances from this post 😬 Many comments here are missing on other instances
Might make sense to host these threads on a less overloaded instance?

Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick
Wonder what the issue is. Hopefully he can recover tomorrow...
If the rain picks up now and the softs take 2 laps to get to working temperature, those who just came in might lose out heavily.
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
FIA: It's raining
Drivers: It's not raining
2 minutes later: Track is flooding

Q2, with more rain coming
Thanks to the mods for making this thread!
Hoping for a good race, though it's bit late in the evening for us Europeans
Nando win please!
Aw, man, went to commercial right as Gasly was about to tell everybody how he felt about Sainz being in the middle of the track.
Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.
The penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.
