Very interesting race.  Not sure what Vettle's issue is but he just can't get comfortable with his car.

Don't forget Emilla this weekend.  Has anyone found practice 1 on their recorder?  I have qualifying, pre-race and the race but no practice.  There is only one this weekend and it will be on Saturday.  I found a listing on one of the ESPN channels at 5:55 but when I set it up it says qualifying.  It is the same length as the listing for qualifying at 7:55 on the other channel,

I will have to look when I get home, I know this weekend is only a 2 day event because of the distance between last weeks venue and this weeks.

I did not see any listing for practice either, just qualifying.
I still think Kim and Vettel are doing this to get back to Ferrari, this guys were team mates for a while and both were let go by Ferrari.
This hurts Ferrari more than them, lots more.

Just got off the phone with the ESPN customer service desk.  According to him the 0455 listing on ESPN is practice.  The 0855 listing on ESPN2 in Qualifying.  I just checked and they are both listed as qualifying.  I am recording both.

Very narrow track, qualifying and practice were interesting.  Gashly was the man of the hour.

Yes, he is doing well, but so far he is staying with the Alphaturi for 2021 but for Dany K is not looking well for him. This track as Critterman says is very narrow, so lets hope no one gets injured.
If Bottas can keep his 1st place it will be hard for Hamilton to pass him. The start of the race is going to be critical for everyone, so lets see what will happen tomorrow.
Just incase you have not read it, both Haas drivers are gone for 2021, Kimi and Gio are staying with Alpha Romeo for 2021. Perez future with F1 is still up in the air, but if Albon does not do well tomorrow, my opinion he will probably be in trouble.

And Kvyat snuck into 4th after Gasly's car had a coolant leak and had to retire.   

Definitely some weird yellow flags but it made for a fun race to watch. 
I heard the news about Alfa Romeo but not about Haas.

Actually it was a part off of Vettel's Ferrari that Bottas ran over and got stuck in his floor.  Poor George Russell, he was in a position to score his first point and  lost control during the safety car laps by spinning his rears trying to heat them up.  10 laps from the end.

Russell's rear just came around on him with no warning and there was no where to go but into the wall.

He was mashing the gas when it happened.   All the drivers says these longer, wider, heavier cars just snap, there is no catching them 90% of the time.

Critterman is right, thus the reason he was so mad on the side of the track, he new it was a big mistake on his part.
