With the new tyres now allowing the cars to actually use the massive torque of these engines, combined a with the instant loss of traction we've seen, I wouldn't be surprised to see a rookie or two end up sideways off the line.

Quick question... as of now, the race is in about 6h 30m right?
Yup.

Cheers.
I'd like to see them try reverse-grid qualifying (with points for quali) at least once. Though if it's in a race with pit stops, I could see it just ending up with the grid order normalising itself during the first pit stop.
On a slightly divergent note, I'd also like to see auto/motorsports represented at the Olympics, with spec cars/bikes/karts and the drivers representing their countries. Bit of a pipe dream though, probably way too expensive.

This has me more bummed out than another year of merc domination.
Redbull was supposed to be the chosen one.

You know what? I'm actually glad Stroll is starting last. I can count on one hand the amount of overtaking moves he had to do last year. Whether or not he is able to go through the field in the race should be a good indication of his skill level.

So Pat Symonds believes the shark fins are stalling the rear wings during big slides, making them absolutely unrecoverable despite the huge rear tyres.
I hear tbis Nando guy is really good, 12th on qualifying with low tier car...

It's possible but then we've had shark fins before and drivers were still able to recover back then. The mixture of high mechanical grip and absolute downforce in these cars seems, in my uneducated opinion, to mean that a considerable instantaneous loss of either results in a catastrophic loss of both
That's why we see both rookies and Riccis losing their cars - I'll see myself out

I do wonder if that same issue will result in cars not being able to follow each other - the car in front stalling the airflow of a car following it.

Did Ric need a new gearbox?

I've just woken up, the clocks have gone forward so there was a slight panic that I'd missed the start.
Yep and a 5 spot grid penalty.
Fuck, he got that and now this?!?
