Thanks as always Chode our good FRiend, for posting this critical thread.

And, here's hoping that Mister Verstappen does not destroy Daniel Ricciardo's race car, this time.

The Red Bull looks like it has a third wing mounted by the cockpit. Very interesting feature.

If you are referring to the Halo device, it is a safety bar mandated to be used by all teams this year.

Ah, you were referring to the side pods.

Sorry, ignore my previous post.

The 'side pod' wing with the winglet. I would guess that the 3rd wing changes the Center of Gravity with more down force in the center of the car which would improve turn in, reduce understeer and help with front tire temperatures.

Daniel set almost the same time with yellow tires vs his previous red tire run in Q3. The car was planted.

I don't know if anyone else signed up for F1 Pro-TV, but it finally showed up this weekend.

All the promised features were not there. You could view individual carcams, but not side-by-side like they said.

The REAL problem was the streaming service failed miserably. Constant buffering, re-looping old vid, and latency that was as slow as Stroll.

It seems to have happened world-wide, and I received this letter from F1 just a little while ago:

Hello,

Thanks for recently subscribing to F1 TV Pro.

As you may know, we have experienced some live play-back issues during our coverage of practice and qualifying from the Spanish Grand Prix.

We want to apologise for the inconvenience caused and we’re working as quickly as we can to get these resolved for you. Unfortunately we do anticipate that the problems experienced during qualifying will not be resolved in time for the race.

Whilst we are experiencing some issues with the live video, you can still enjoy replays for all sessions including all on board cameras and unedited team radio, as well as Grands Prix from F1’s historic archive.

Because of the problems you’ve been experiencing, we will be refunding you the equivalent of two weeks of your subscription. This will happen next week and it will be paid onto the card you subscribed with so there’s nothing you need to do.

With this refund, the Grand Prix this weekend is on us.

Thanks for your patience and support.

The team at F1
