    So predictable and boring now. I see Verstappen has 4 votes (and counting) already,even before first practice.

    we have:

    Mclaren, new front wing, nose, rear corner (whatever that is) and rear suspension. So again a significant pacges

    Alpine - new front wing

    Mercs: New front wing and front win endplate.

    Aston: front wing and rear quarters (aka set up for high speed)

    Haas: new front suspension (have not seen apic yet but probably copying redbull like the rest)

    alfa - new floor and dissuser

    Alpha tuari is basically half a new car.

    did it make any difference? nope red bull 1/2 P2 to tell us slightly more.

    Ooh, rainy, nice. Hope it stays around for tomorrow, we may get a race at the front for a change (though I doubt it tbh)

    Crofty commentating today reckons Alonso topped a session at Silverstone in 2014 in his McLaren.

    He drove for Ferrari that year, David.

    He’s also just tried to make a joke that the character from Brad Pitt’s new film, named Sonny Hayes, should be renamed “Drizzle” for this weekend because of the weather.

    Can someone take this cringe-inducing, incompetent child off commentary duty for the sake of all of our sanity?

    Meanwhile Max Verstappen has broken a front wing crashing into the pit wall coming out of the garage!

    There will be a lot of noise for Dan Ricc now because he can’t be any worse can he, and would be hugely popular picking up a couple of wins.

    Can’t see where else they go, certainly no one ready within the stable.

    I honestly do not know what's in oerez's head cos he should be sleepwalking to podiums and at least 3rd on grid every time easy.
