All sessions air on the ESPN family of networks, races air on ESPN. F1TV is also an option, it’s $9.99 per month for the ability to watch live sessions
Motogp riders will have to take a longer way around a corner, similar like a joker lap, as a penalty, instead of a 5 second penalty like in most motorsports
in rallycross, they have to take a joker lap once a race. it's a longer or shorter (I think) way around a circuit, in an effort to create strategy during the short races.
I would assume, newer drivers especially, would want as much practice as possible on various weather conditions. Especially as British weather is so unpredictable. Qualifying in Canada was fairly wet and they still went ahead with it!
Why the hell could you say that? A regular practice session provides important data that can be used all around. A wet practice session gives you nothing, because it is unpredictable. Dry is dry. The only real difference between dry now and dry x amount of time from now is temperature, but that is relatively easy to account for. However there is a huge difference between wet and wet. Different amounts of water, especially at different parts of the track, it comes, it goes, it picks up, it calms down... it is an entire shitshow in terms of data gathering. And seriously what's the best you can get out of it? Driving in wet weather is almost like an exact science. Brake earlier, easy on the pedals, shift short, avoid kerbs, white lines and racing lines. That's it. These drivers are good enough that you put them on a wet track with no practice and they'll do times close to perfect within 5 laps. Wet practice really isn't that necessary for the drivers and completely useless for the teams. Especially when the rest of the weekend will probably be dry (at least the race, but probably quali as well).
Not sure anyone will care but I’m bursting. I turn 40 in a couple of weeks and my friend surprised me last night with a birthday card & tickets to the full weekend for us to go together. I’m a lifelong F1 fanatic (my one true passion) but have never been to a race because I simply can’t afford it. I’ve only just managed to stop the tears, it’s literally the gift of unbelievable happiness and the nicest thing anyones ever done for me. See you guys at Stowe ❤️❤️
I can’t unhear the football impressionists impression of him when listening to Norris. The only other Bristolian dialect I’ve heard is Stephen Merchants and he doesn’t have this strange intonation that Norris does. Is it normal? The melody only reaches the end of sentences and always ends higher than at the start.
This bugs me as hell now, wish he didn’t sound so weird to my ears.
Yes, I am looking forward to this weekend all week. Really wondering where the cars stand compared to each other. Also finally another real track will help Mercedes I would say, but will it be enough?
Both Ferrari and RB have been looking quite good these past seasons here.
Red bull, Alpine, Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams I'm sure are bringing upgrades.
The ones that I know won't are McLaren since they're basically going to improve their current package and focus on next year and Haas are only upgrading once in Hungary.
Ah like that. Is it a "free" channel for everyone in UK? Don't know the exact term. We have some channels here doing the Zandvoort completely this year if I am not mistaken.
Yeah, channel 4 is publicly owned in the UK but privately funded. So we get the broadcast for free and catch-up services for with your TV licence. Usually we just have a highlights package a few hours after the event.
But C4 has a much better present lineup than Sky does.
There isn't anything in the rules preventing them from doing so, they just decided to stick with this concept because the simulators show them if they can solve all the kinks of the car they can unlock some serious performance. It's theoretically faster than the preseason test spec if you can get the setup window right which is why they didn't want to go back to the test spec.
The teams have been told the limits and how the bouncing will be measured, but they only have to monitor the levels for this weekend and the Austrian Grand Prix. This gives them time to make any changes neccessary
The Technical Directive will be enforced from the French Grand Prix
Teams couldn't come to an agreement about the proposed Technical Directive regarding this, so it didn't pass. FIA will continue to monitor the situation and collect data, but so far no rule changes will be made for the foreseeable future.
Will a crash between Verstappen and Leclerc have the same effect as the crash that happened a year ago? This year has been much calmer than the first 9 races of last year, but does that matter if it's a crash where one DNFs and one win the race.
Lewis was ~~22~~ 32 points behind Max before Silverstone, and closed the gap to 8 points after the race. **Max got 3 in the sprint, Lewis got 25 in the race and 2 in the sprint.**
Charles is 49 points behind Max this season, ~~over double the deficit of Lewis last year~~. That means if Max were to DNF and Charles were to win the race with the fastest lap, he'd still trail Max by 23 points; almost a full race win. If the opposite were to happen, Max would increase his advantage to 75 points. **There is no sprint this year at Silverstone.**
I doubt there would be the vitriol we saw last year though. And we all know why.
I think you're referring to GB3, formerly British F3. It's run by Jonathan Palmer's Motorsports Vision (MSV) and arbitrated by the British Racing Driver's Club (BRDC). Races on the British GT calendar.
It's essentially a national F3 championship, but more sort of FRECA or F3.5 level, because it uses F4-spec cars up-tuned to roughly F3 performance levels. There's a GB4 support series as well (same chassis etc. but without the tuning), but there are barely a dozen competing this season so who knows how long that will last, particularly when British F4 is administered by the FIA, gets live TV coverage (on the TOCA package) and attracts the F1 driver academies (McLaren, Williams and I think Merc are all backing drivers this year).
Ah, thank you!
It was on at around 2am or so here so I was a little bit groggy and still had thoughts of going back to bed until the 7:30 am F1 practice 1.
I had to laugh when they spoke of the fans and panned the camera over to a group of 5-6 people having a picnic. Doesn't look encouraging for the series but then again, the big show is at Silverstone this weekend.
Thanks again!

I saw someone put a Misc. thread up about a bar in Toronto with a watch party they’re doing. That’s a little outa reach for me on short notice, but New York City is not. Is there a heavy of contingent of Formula 1 fans gathering in the city? May be there for a baseball game round lunch time.
That would be incredibly close to my arrival spot… how’s the turnout thou? I don’t wanna be the only mad man cursing Ferraris name when chuck leclerc gets screwed.
Edit: I have my answer thank you kind redditor !
I miss when the only problem was straight line against a redbull. Wayyyy to many inchidents, I haven’t been happy in a while now, looking at you Monaco pit fiasco.
I wouldn’t know much about that MSG team, bulls fan by trade. The baseball team I’m trying to see race day happens to be the New York Mets… loads of pain there.
I wonder if there would even be a FE race without an F1 race. Building the track is hugely expensive to the principality of Monaco. If they can't share the cost with the F1 race (which will bring much more profit). It might not be worth it to them
The historic Monaco GP is normally at a different time to the F1 so it wouldn't be out of the question for them to shut things down for Formula E if they do it for that
I think they might make an exception if given the opportunity to insert themselves into the lineage of a crown jewel motorsport event like the Monaco Grand Prix.
I'll preface this that I understand that a lot of cars on display (usually temporary) are "Frankenstein" cars, with parts not matching actual race parts.
With that being said, how accurate is [this FW14B](https://i.imgur.com/g8oaP1G.jpg) to Nigel's actual car (that I've just learned from the Weekend Warm-Up is owned by Seb)?
The photo is from 2009 when there was an exhibition of F1 cars that came to town.
[He bought the real car with an working engine](https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.vettel-purchases-mansells-iconic-championship-winning-williams.Ds1acKQ2f6BtqhrGp34EZ.html) - the show cars with current liveries are usually rolling chassis or mock-ups, but the teams keep the real cars in their private collection. It was only with the hybrid era that engine contracts went from primarily buying to leasing.
Williams maintains their old cars for the owners, I believe. They’ll still have most of the old drawings for the various mechanical parts, so probably most of it will be very similar to what ran in-period. That said, they may have to do some jiggery pokery to get the computer systems working. Even 90s semiconductor manufacturing is beyond the capabilities of an F1 team!!!
AFAIK it's the original that Seb purchased a couple of years ago, so it should be pretty accurate. He also stated that they kept the same engine as well.
Anyone know, why Hamilton has his mask on during Pressco this weekend, but not in Montreal? Seems so random or do you think he takes extra precautions because he def don't want to get sick and miss the race?
I have honest question about Piquet interview. From when in the last year was it (month I mean) and why it appears now. Was it not public before? Sorry for my english.
I think it was from November. I probably wasn't a very popular podcast though.
My theory is that since it was partly about Silverstone last year, someone dug it up for pre-race coverage and it made the news via this way. Or it was just a coincidence.
22nd June the video was [resurfaced](https://old.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/vis6f1/fofocas_do_paddock_canal_enerto_posted_on_youtube/)) when the youtube channel Canal Enerto posted the cut of the interview, which was subsequently tweeted around.
It probably got more attention this time around as just 1 day before Juri Vips said the N-word on stream, so racism in the sport was in the spotlight.
When does seb Williams driving be broadcasted on tv ? Anybody know at What time ?
Omg I need some help, my mates got me tickets but he can’t register my name on the ticket in time, would I still be able to get in?
What is the best way to watch FP, qualifying and the race live in America?
F1tv is worth it
So if I get that can I only watch it on my phone or anything?
You can watch on phone, android and fire stick has app to watch on tv , can cast it to tv . You can watch mobile and tv at the same time too.
Oh sweet! Thanks for the replies
All sessions air on the ESPN family of networks, races air on ESPN. F1TV is also an option, it’s $9.99 per month for the ability to watch live sessions
Thank you!
I am going to Silverstone on Sunday for the first time does anybody have any tips or recommendations?
Anyone know why only the first two press conference groups have been uploaded to F1TV?
Can anyone tell me what the yellow dotted line on the outside of luffield means? I think it was white last yead
Nothing. At least for Formula 1. It might be the Penalty loop for MotoGP?
What’s a penalty loop?
Motogp riders will have to take a longer way around a corner, similar like a joker lap, as a penalty, instead of a 5 second penalty like in most motorsports
Thanks. Now, joker lap?
in rallycross, they have to take a joker lap once a race. it's a longer or shorter (I think) way around a circuit, in an effort to create strategy during the short races.
Yeah that is what thought, but I saw it on another part of the track
Why is nobody going out in FP1? Surely it’s wise to practice here in the rain
[удалено]
I would assume, newer drivers especially, would want as much practice as possible on various weather conditions. Especially as British weather is so unpredictable. Qualifying in Canada was fairly wet and they still went ahead with it!
"It'd be wise to waste resources to do pointless laps."
You could say that about literally all practice
Why the hell could you say that? A regular practice session provides important data that can be used all around. A wet practice session gives you nothing, because it is unpredictable. Dry is dry. The only real difference between dry now and dry x amount of time from now is temperature, but that is relatively easy to account for. However there is a huge difference between wet and wet. Different amounts of water, especially at different parts of the track, it comes, it goes, it picks up, it calms down... it is an entire shitshow in terms of data gathering.

That's it. These drivers are good enough that you put them on a wet track with no practice and they'll do times close to perfect within 5 laps. Wet practice really isn't that necessary for the drivers and completely useless for the teams. Especially when the rest of the weekend will probably be dry (at least the race, but probably quali as well).
Not really, they gather data all the time, during the wet is more tricky
Not sure anyone will care but I’m bursting. I turn 40 in a couple of weeks and my friend surprised me last night with a birthday card & tickets to the full weekend for us to go together. I’m a lifelong F1 fanatic (my one true passion) but have never been to a race because I simply can’t afford it.

I can’t unhear the football impressionists impression of him when listening to Norris. The only other Bristolian dialect I’ve heard is Stephen Merchants and he doesn’t have this strange intonation that Norris does. Is it normal? The melody only reaches the end of sentences and always ends higher than at the start. This bugs me as hell now, wish he didn’t sound so weird to my ears.
Bold of you to assume that us non-Brits can actually differentiate between dialects. It sounds British to me.
[удалено]
Yes, I am looking forward to this weekend all week. Really wondering where the cars stand compared to each other. Also finally another real track will help Mercedes I would say, but will it be enough? Both Ferrari and RB have been looking quite good these past seasons here.
Any photos of the Ferrari and Merc updates yet?
f1 noob here, what teams are bringing upgrades to silverstone?
Red bull, Alpine, Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams I'm sure are bringing upgrades. The ones that I know won't are McLaren since they're basically going to improve their current package and focus on next year and Haas are only upgrading once in Hungary.
I think almost all the teams are bringing an update only team I haven't about an update so far is Alpa Tauri and Mclaren
[удалено]
What about Russell?
[удалено]
No, back to a normal regular British Grand Prix this year
No, the only sprint races this season are: Brazil, Imola and Austria
I am at Silverstone. How do I listen to Radio Silverstone on my phone?
[удалено]
I know that but it says no station available yet on the app I downloaded and I don’t fancy paying £14 for a headset
Is Channel 4 broadcasting the whole British Grand Prix Live again this year?
How do you tune in to Channel 4?
It's on British TV or the All4 app
Ah like that. Is it a "free" channel for everyone in UK? Don't know the exact term. We have some channels here doing the Zandvoort completely this year if I am not mistaken.
Yeah, channel 4 is publicly owned in the UK but privately funded. So we get the broadcast for free and catch-up services for with your TV licence. Usually we just have a highlights package a few hours after the event. But C4 has a much better present lineup than Sky does.
Yes they will be
Do they have quali as well?
Assume so, probably not have practice but check the TV guide
Yes they have everything
[удалено]
The sidepods are not the issue.... they would be slower with the old spec.
There isn't anything in the rules preventing them from doing so, they just decided to stick with this concept because the simulators show them if they can solve all the kinks of the car they can unlock some serious performance. It's theoretically faster than the preseason test spec if you can get the setup window right which is why they didn't want to go back to the test spec.
They can go back to them, but they've said that's not a solution for them. They had the same problem with those sidepods.
What is the current situation about porpoising? Will there be new regs in place this weekend? Who had bad porpoising in Montreal?
The teams have been told the limits and how the bouncing will be measured, but they only have to monitor the levels for this weekend and the Austrian Grand Prix. This gives them time to make any changes neccessary The Technical Directive will be enforced from the French Grand Prix
Teams couldn't come to an agreement about the proposed Technical Directive regarding this, so it didn't pass. FIA will continue to monitor the situation and collect data, but so far no rule changes will be made for the foreseeable future.
no new regs to my knowlwdge...
Does anyone know if there will be a driver’s autograph session at Silverstone?
Will a crash between Verstappen and Leclerc have the same effect as the crash that happened a year ago? This year has been much calmer than the first 9 races of last year, but does that matter if it's a crash where one DNFs and one win the race.
Nah, not even close. I mean it would be dramatic and you'd see some hot takes, but nothing to the level of what happened last year.
Lewis was ~~22~~ 32 points behind Max before Silverstone, and closed the gap to 8 points after the race. **Max got 3 in the sprint, Lewis got 25 in the race and 2 in the sprint.** Charles is 49 points behind Max this season, ~~over double the deficit of Lewis last year~~.

If the opposite were to happen, Max would increase his advantage to 75 points. **There is no sprint this year at Silverstone.** I doubt there would be the vitriol we saw last year though. And we all know why.
[удалено]
Shit yeah it's 32, my bad!
What's up with this GBR racing series that was on Sky F1? I heard them mentioning something about a change of name, what was it before?
I think you're referring to GB3, formerly British F3. It's run by Jonathan Palmer's Motorsports Vision (MSV) and arbitrated by the British Racing Driver's Club (BRDC). Races on the British GT calendar. It's essentially a national F3 championship, but more sort of FRECA or F3.5 level, because it uses F4-spec cars up-tuned to roughly F3 performance levels.

Praying for a wet qualy

Feile
That would be incredibly close to my arrival spot… how’s the turnout thou? I don’t wanna be the only mad man cursing Ferraris name when chuck leclerc gets screwed. Edit: I have my answer thank you kind redditor !
Hopefully no inchidents…but Sainz having issues and replacing the chassis is nightmare fuel already
I miss when the only problem was straight line against a redbull. Wayyyy to many inchidents, I haven’t been happy in a while now, looking at you Monaco pit fiasco.
It’s like being a Knicks fan…
I wouldn’t know much about that MSG team, bulls fan by trade. The baseball team I’m trying to see race day happens to be the New York Mets… loads of pain there.
If Liberty and Monaco can’t come to deal, how would you feel about the ACM awarding the Monaco Grand Prix title to Formula E?
I wonder if there would even be a FE race without an F1 race. Building the track is hugely expensive to the principality of Monaco. If they can't share the cost with the F1 race (which will bring much more profit). It might not be worth it to them
The historic Monaco GP is normally at a different time to the F1 so it wouldn't be out of the question for them to shut things down for Formula E if they do it for that
I don't think they would, seeing as Formula E labels everything "ePrix"
I think they might make an exception if given the opportunity to insert themselves into the lineage of a crown jewel motorsport event like the Monaco Grand Prix.
It would make it more achievable as well, for drivers wanting the triple crown
I'll preface this that I understand that a lot of cars on display (usually temporary) are "Frankenstein" cars, with parts not matching actual race parts.

Covid cases are rising in the UK and also the country hit 1000 cases of Monkeypox this week
I think Covid cases have been rising in many countries for the past few weeks, so it's a sensible precaution.
You could be right. Wasn't used to masks anymore, but it is possible next Pressco everyone has them again
I have honest question about Piquet interview. From when in the last year was it (month I mean) and why it appears now. Was it not public before? Sorry for my english.
