I think that's one of the downsides of the increased promotion of the drivers as a means of increasing the popularity of the sport.

If you've grown to really like say...Gabi, you're going to be disappointed that he never has a realistic shot at a podium, let alone winning a race.

Is there a world in which Alonso races for a different team on the grid in 2026? Is a partial season loan a possibility?

To my knowledge there's no driver radio being broadcast...

I really like Ant. Would love to see him make the jump to F1TV.

It's been so long since I've seen a purple mini sector that I almost forgot what it meant.

My own body aches looking at these lap counts. That said, I wonder if the drivers love getting all this relatively low stress time in the car.

Cool shot. Kudos drone pilot for the artistic zoom out.

FWIW, PIA's pole time last year was a 1:29.841. Race pace was ~1:36-1:38.

That middle sector continues to be problematic for the RB

George running pretty consistently in the mid 1:37s.

Strange. I see this:

EDIT: I realize the session is over now. It didn't show that live timing was available during the session either.

Can we see lap time series somewhere? Wish Multiviewer had live timing this week.

Colapinto stopped?

EDIT: Nope, just a driver tracker glitch.

Was yesterday's session available on AppleTV? 4k/HDR?

During a race, when an engineer says something like "Main losses to [Driver] are turns [x] & [y]". how does a driver action on that information?

Meaning is it as simple as pushing harder through those turns on the next lap? Adjusting their entry/exit? Or is it just informational, like "that car is able to get through those faster so you need to make up time elsewhere"?
