Guess the Pole 2019: France [+Results]

#1

Post by XcraigX »

This is why I can't speak the language...

A big long straight. Followed by some twisty bits and another straight on the way back. This is another chance for Ferrari to step above Mercedes. Can Vettel or LeClerc keep it on the track, avoid penalties, and outclass the Silver Arrows for once? Get your guessing smarts warmed up and try to surmise the best lap time for this track given the 2019 machines. Go!
