I don't think we already have a topic, but the fun has already started with Raikkonen lapping a 1:58.273 :wave:

Good thread!

Alonso's wheel just fell off in the final corner, having set a purple sector. Hey, at least it's not the engine!

Well, first time in years the car has some power. Things might be up to par yet to support that.

That's engine power. So much torque that it literally ripped the wheels off that car.

Luckily the wheel nut (which caused the accident) picked a forgiving corner to break down, which is also near the pits.

Toro Rosso already did 50 laps. Almost more than McLaren achieved total in 2017 :p

It's my joint favourite car, but the other favourite makes me hungry so I have to ration it.

Can someone explain to me why Force India would put a rookie third driver (who then binned it and damaged it) in their brand new car before the other drivers? They surely can't be that cash strapped can they?

Gary Anderson asked exactly the same question; he said if it was his decision (he was their tech director way back when they were Jordan) he would've taken one look at the weather and sent one of the race drivers out. It doesn't seem like the smartest thing they ever did.
