FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN GRANDE PREMIO DE PORTUGAL 2020 - PORTIMAO....QUALIFYING ▄▀▄▀ Spoilers ▀▄▀▄

E-Z fix!! Good qualy day!!

 

This is a new way to show the track limits !!

 

Teams are not happy. Delay in the communication.

 

Replacing a duct, then covering it with cement? Why not weld it together?

 

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has confirmed that the Formula 1 team will look outside its pool of drivers if Alex Albon is not retained in 2021.

Albon's future has been the subject of speculation all season after he has struggled to match the pace of team mate Max Verstappen. He currently has 64 points compared to the 147 of the Dutchman.

Meanwhile Pierre Gasly's strong form at AlphaTauri suggested that he might be given a second chance at RBR should Albon be dropped.

However Red Bull motorsport chief Helmut Marko hinted recently that the main team would not replace Albon with one its established drivers, and would look elsewhere.

 

Possibly that would not yield a strong enough surface or smooth enough? Would be best to avoid it no matter. More work will be needed.

 

Leave it to Vettel: For once he doesn't break the car but the track.

Quite frankly I'm not surprised: Algarve is pretty but not quite up to speed compared to Spain. I spent some vaca time there and wasn't too thrilled.

 

Great start.....not

 

because they're portuguese and probably used steel so porous and horrible it can't be welded safely?

 

In the now frankly unlikely event they'll retain Albon, Hulkenberg will replace him.

 

Strange that it takes the last practice session to find out about loose drain covers.
I would have thought that a circuit is thoroughly inspected by the FIA before racing is allowed.

 

That means he's done.

One guy with a heat gun. That's it? With that generator they could have at least 2 guns running.

 

It's the Algarve. Par for course.

 

I suspect that the suction caused by the downforce of the F1 cars loosened a cover that was previously well held down.

 

They are getting ready to come out!

 

No way the track is safe...

The marshal pulling up with 1/2 kg force is not even close to adequate to confirm bits are secure.

 

Just waiting for the next incident and a red flag.

 

Well, that's one way to enforce "track limits".

 

Is Crofty being paid by the number of "particular" he uses?
