I watched FP3 on DVR, then caught Q1 live and saw Hamilton go out with hydraulic issues and turned off the TV in disgust and made my post here. (It was also being DVRed, so I knew I could still watch all of the qualifying later.)

I turned it back on just in time to catch the final 3 minutes of Q3 and saw Botas set fastest qualifying lap, only to have Vettel beat the time by a full two tenths only moments later!

Very exciting (if disappointing from a Mercedes fan perspective) qualifying session. Ferrari certainly has found their mojo again, with a 1-3 qualifying finish, with Mercedes splitting them, followed by a Red Bull and Haas.

It will be fun at the start tomorrow to watch Hamilton and Ricciardo work their way up from the back of the pack. Usually one good driver can fairly quickly work his way back up to the front (like Hamilton did at Silverstone) but with the two of them together in competitive cars, they may race each other more than they concentrate on overtaking the slower cars.

No warmers and 18-inch tires...

Eighteen-inch tyres for Formula 1 in 2021
By GMM F1
Filed: Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 13:47 UK
Last Updated: Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 13:47 UK

Formula 1 will switch to 18-inch tyres in 2021.

The news comes after the FIA released the 2020-2023 tyre manufacturer tender process.

In 2020, the tyres will remain as they are now, and then switch to the all-new low profile in 2021.

“I think the biggest challenge will be for the tyre manufacturer. If it’s a change of manufacturer, it will be doing two different types of tyre over the space of a year,” said Renault’s Bob Bell.

The new rules will also ban tyre warmers.

“I support it 200%,” said Sauber’s Frederic Vasseur. “Tyre blankets are a nightmare and in Formula 2, they cope very well without them.”

The 2018 calendar continues tomorrow with the German Grand Prix.

Strong rumors that Force India is being sold to Lance Stroll’s father with Lance moving to Force India. Williams will be financially hurt by this move and need to find big money!
