The problem is that too many drivers seem to want to play chicken with an almost immobile object. Do they also do the same with street furniture when driving on normal roads?

Everyone should know that the tyres are there and they don't just jump out at individual drivers so as to test their reactions. The answer is to just avoid them, sweet and simple, and stop trying to cut corner. Otherwise, there will be tears or at least costly repair bills.

Flash on pole, hope for his sake he doesn’t lose it like he did at Snett. This is his big chance. Great result for PMR, 2-3.

Sutton a bit down in 9th, behind Colin, but quite a way ahead of Tingram and Hill, so it’s not all bad

They're only 3 and 4 places behind the championship leader respectively.

I guess the rest of the grid should just pack up and go home then?

Or has Hill shown at Silverstone last time that qualifying outside of the top ten doesn't mean that the weekend is a disaster?

Yes, I too am getting sick of certain people declaring the championship over way too early. Personally, I find it hard to believe anyone but Sutton will win it at this stage, but it’s still not over and I’m gonna enjoy the racing tomorrow either way

Agree entirely.

Yes, Sutton is odds-on to take the title. But giving up hope of it being contested up until the final weekend, or declaring the contest is over already feels like giving up on the sport part of motorsport.

I read about the BMWs aero kit for 2021 being suspect to disturbance when having to follow another car. My question is, if this aero kit is problematic in this instance, why haven’t they reverted to the 2020 aero kit, or are there rules in place to prevent this?

Track limits are being selectively observed in R1 it appears, most of the field have exceeded track limits at the Old Hairpin and McLeans but no action from race control.

Out of the 1056 miles covered in R1 there was not one report from race control of a car exceeding track limits. I find that very hard to believe, otherwise it was a very boring race.

Great drive from Hill. A couple more laps and he’d have been in the top 12. Hopefully gets a good reverse grid.

As soon as Plato’s car gets behind a couple of others cars it looks like it’s got a parachute attached. Hopefully he can stay where he is or thereabouts and get a good reverse grid also, as if he did get a pole he’d be off, yet if he’s behind 2 or more cars again he’ll only go backwards…..

Is Sutton that much better than everyone else? Is everyone else rubbish? I just dont get it. He does things no one else can do. Still, Tim Harvey likes him, loves him i think....

If Harvey was married to Sutton I doubt there would be a good word between them

Our only hope for 2022 is the hybrid system, because as it is then I can't see many other drivers having a look in next year.
