British Grand Prix - 2nd August 2020 Sportsbook

[Fraser]

Hulkenberg looking good for a guy rushed into the car. Unfortunately, a podium is too far out of sight this weekend. Maybe next?

One thing Brundle just mentioned is how Hulkenberg's head and neck weren't staying in place on some of the corners, probably down to lack of full F1 like training to have proper muscles ready. Have to imagine that will really wear on him during the race, I'd nearly rather see him getting respectable 7th or 8th place finishes than coming a distant 4th

Yeah. This bit was explained by Ben Edwards and Billy Monger during FP3 this morning.

The 2 knobs in the headrest inside the car was causing problems for Hulkenberg during FP3. He did not have enough time to address it properly as he had a lack of time to do full training on the simulator. He only travelled into the UK yesterday morning to get into the paddock to be on call for RP. He did his test for Covid-19 after he was on the simulator. He got the negative result & then went to Silverstone to get the lap times done for the car in the 3 FP sessions so far.

The G forces in the car was causing problems to Hulkenberg's stomach because of his of lack of sim training.

Maybe the best we can hope for tomorrow for Hulkenberg is that he learns enough to do a good job next weekend

60% risk of rain here during qualifying.

Lando needs to set a good time here before Q1 ends.

EDIT: He is on the same time gap as Sainz.

Looks like the temperature has raised slightly to mid 20's

 

[Fraser]

Russell doing seriously good, into Q2 again, fair play to him this year

 

[Franco Pinion]

Decent lap from Russell again but now he's under investigation for not slowing under yellow flags

 

[Fraser]

4 Ferrari powered Haas and Alfa Romeo cars eliminated in Q1.

That was a really good Q1 session for Hulkenberg & Russell.
