This will hopefully be a more successful experiment next year with the aero changes to support overtaking.

Hamilton dropped down to 6th actually, Gasly was (before he went of) in front of him.

I really need to re-read Wasp...

Spiders are fine. It is when a motherfucking wasp flies in the car, that is when it is panic time. I would legit tuck and roll out the door at highway speeds to get away from one if I have to.

I’m fairly pro-spider. They’re eating something, and I guarantee you want whatever that is even less. 

holding a beer for up to 5 minutes without drinking any would be a challenge...

He didn't want that to happen to his balls, so no crotch strap.

If he can’t fix Saturday he isn’t much help on Sunday.

Perez has GOT to start giving Verstappen better cover. Your not driving for a Midtable team anymore.  You have to race from the front.

That’s not quite right. Hamilton had to be content with only the fastest lap.

My mother needed to go into the hospital for surgery. And while there she didn’t follow the news due to having some really good drugs.

Think part of the fun is the fact that its a new track ( or remake of a very old one). So everyone needed to find what to do and where. Simulations etc can tell you something. But not everything.

Agreed. This track is WILD. I don’t expect a lot of passing tomorrow though.

Agreed about the onboard laps… that looks absolutely insane.

I would have voted for the Mazda Porter, but the t360 is also a good choice.

This is a legitimate old-school track that is going to challenge driving abilities in as close a way to the golden days (also read as: deadly days) of Formula 1 as we’ve seen in a long time, I think.  That said, it’s going to be an absolute shit show.  After watching F3 practice, I’m more convinced now than ever. …

From what i’ve seen is that they did a good job advertising the various public transport, hired buses, and parking lots further out. But yeah, i’m sure the Dutchies will be trying to park as close to the track, because it’s their goddamn right!

Zandvoort was always pretty windy. Drivers used to hate it on windy days because of all the sand that would get blown onto the track (and into your eyes). Probably the worst single location for an F1 track ever....

That last corner, Arie Luydneuk

Had they raced, Verstappen would have been likely to win and therefore to close up more than he did with this result. Like him or not, he's very, very good in the rain (Hockenheim 2019, Interlagos 2016 spring to mind), and he would have had the huge advantage of actually being able to see where he was going.
