100 poles is absolutely mental

That's 37% of races entered as well, only behind Senna 40%, Ascari 42% and Clark 45% (for those with >10 poles).

Did any of the top 10 set their fastest times on the medium in Q2 or is it all soft tomorrow?

I think they are all on the soft tyres. Interesting that Hamilton set his quickest Q2 lap on used tyres, don't usually see that. Maybe see something different strategy wise in the race?

Good luck to everyone trying to lap Mazepin at Monaco.

Should be easy after they lift his car over the T1 barrier with a crane on the first lap.

Seeing this haddie bounce off the barriers like a pinball will probably be the most entertainment we get at this event tbh, #pray4mazespin if it rains!

Turkey out, replaced by a second race at Austria. Thankfully they didn't go with the rumoured second race at Paul Ricard. It's a shame they aren't going to go back to Mugello or the Bahrain short circuit.

Following discussions with the promoter in Turkey and relevant stakeholders, it will not be possible to have the race in Turkey between 11th – 13th June. The promoter has requested that we look at the potential opportunity for the race to be rescheduled later in the season if possible, alongside China who made the same request earlier this year.


We can confirm that there will now be two races in Austria, back to back, with the first race, the Styrian Grand Prix, taking place on 25th-27th June and the Austrian Grand Prix taking place on its original date on 2nd – 4th July. As a result of this change the French Grand Prix will move one week earlier to 18th – 20th June, with all tickets for the event valid for the earlier date. This means that there continues to be 23 planned races for the 2021 season.

The schedule for the sprint race weekend seems mad. I assume it's to try and make the start times a bit more attractive for the US audience?

British Grand Prix weekend schedule:

Friday
FP1: 1430-1530
Qualifying: 1800-1900

 

Saturday
FP2: 1200-1300
Sprint Qualifying: 1630-1700

 

Sunday
Race: 1500

 

Sprint Qualifying will be a race run over 100km and lasting around 25-30 minutes. It is designed to provide a short and fast-paced racing spectacle with drivers racing flat-out from start to finish without the need to pit.

 

Points will be awarded to the top three finishers, three for the winner down to one point for third.

Monaco and Mazepin what can go wrong 😂

A daft Mazepin spin to get firmly stuck in the hairpin would be amusing though as the chaos that would follow would be amusing.

Kind of praying that Russian fraud does something like that.
