I agree . The man js a fantastic driver , but he is poison outside of the car . I will find it interesting to see how his time at Renault actually turns out .

 

Well as the self isolation is now 10 days instead of 7 , Perez won't be at the next race !

 

He really needs to keep this lid full-time... It's superb!

 

I am getting worried that we might see Lance Stroll on the Podium this year!!!

 

He's fastest in FP2!!!!!

 

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but much as I love that helmet design , I miss the days when a drivers helmet WAS HIM ( OR HER ) .

 

I noticed although on softs.

 

Yup. Simple designs that were easily recognizable.

 

I think Ervine started the trend when he went from his Ulster colours to Matt finish Jaguar .

 

Schuey went from white to red too... Vettel took it to the next level tho.

 

Forgot that one .

 

The change from 7 days to 10 came in on Thursday 30th. So in theory if Perez tested +ve on Wednesday 29th he only has to isolate for 7 days!!!!
Then there is the twist that to get back to racing he needs a -ve test irrespective of quarantine! So he might be out for quite a while!!!

 

yes I get that , I would thought that the rules would be back dated if that makes sense ?

 

According to the gov docs published on 31st July there doesn't seem to be any back dating.
Interestingly this is the statement that might affect Perez 'If you are not experiencing symptoms but have tested positive for COVID-19 you also must self-isolate for at least 10 days, starting from the day the test was taken. If you develop symptoms during this isolation period, you must restart your 10-day isolation from the day you develop symptoms.'
So if he develops symptoms his 10 days resets back to day 1 !!!!

I can see him missing more than 2 races!!!!

 

Must admit that imho , if someone tests positive on date a and has to self isolate for 7 days , then the rules change , surely the end date gets pushed out ?

No matter , it’s so grey who really knows

 

And the wrong driver is missing out !

not that I would wish COVID on anyone .

 

If he's got it they can't risk bringing him back to soon and infecting the team, causing them to sit out 2 weekends.

 

He has to have a -ve test before he can come back even after his quarantine - how ever long that is

 

Lando a bit close there. Looks like track came good or wind dropped in last couple of mins of Q1.

 

Great lap from Russell
