Red Bull reporting a hydraulic suspension problem on Max's Car which is hampering his running.

 

Vettel gearbox failure...

 

No updates on anything of note from practice about the failure in the press so far....

 

Prac3 is on!

 

Latest on the shape of the 2017 calendar -- Imola rumoured as Hockenheim replacement as Baku looks to shift date

 

It's likely an old one anyway bas, reusing them doesn't attract a penalty, likely have another used one to throw on for next sessions

 

Sid, seems SKY were thinking that yesterday...

 

Probably, haven't bothered watching practice since the early races, just read the thread this morning and no one else had answered bas!

Isn't it telling that from those threads and those on the qualy and races attracting pages and pages, we are now down to a handful of relatively tame bored posts for each, and the race thread only picks up after the end of the race generally

 

True! The lack of mystery does wonders lol

 

So, presumably Elton and Nico fastest in P3?
