The track really fell away at the end of Q3 so a very anticlimactic end. I know a lot of people like it, but I have no love for COTA, and they seem to have shut up about the bumps now.

I won't be able to watch it as I have cancelled my Sky Sports sub, and I'm out swimming at 6am tomorrow morning so no chance of watching it until 5pm Monday at best.
Due to the above, the race will be a belter and one for the ages.
Notable races I have missed include Jenson Button's first win and Sebastien Vettel's first win. Albon?

A bit pissed to hear that CLAP, who had an engine failure in practice is having to use an old engine for the race, and reckons it is down on power compared to the latest spec that Vettel has. (He has to re-use an old engine as the one that failed was his third engine and a new one would have meant a a rear of grid engine penalty.)

So he's using a shite engine for the rest of the season?
Fuck it, take the penalty here and enjoy the new one in the altitude at Brazil where it's harder to overtake.

Maybe they will for Brazil, but with the USA market being so important to Ferrari could be they chose to not start rear of grid for that (marketing /PR) reason. Just a thought.DoubleFart wrote: ↑4 years ago So he's using a shite engine for the rest of the season?

For a shite engine it didn't seem to bad in qualy, and the engine was fitted for that..... maybe in race trim they wont be able to use high power modes for as long as a new engine.

Vettel is SO SLOW already He first got done by Hamilton, then his team mate, then Norris and now Ricciardo, all in the space of a lap!
