Well it is 30% chance of rain tomorrow and, with the drains now blocked with concrete in at least 3 places, even a light rain could cause track flooding.
Tomorrow is a race not to be missed.

p.s. if you use the Sky Sport Guide for session times remember that the UK goes back an hour tonight so as of tomorrow BST = GMT not GMT+1.

Based on the tv footage they put a pipe under the concrete , so the concrete only prevents the water flowing into the drain on that bit where the concrete is . The rest of the drain still functions as normal

That would make sense, I hadn't noticed that I thought it was just a quick fix by filling the drain.

Gasly to Renault maybe. Ocon to rbr, I don't see it happening, Ocon has been way to average this year to secure a move to rbr. I think if rbr were to look outside of there program Hulk and Perez are both better choices.

Was watching a view of the drivers from the onboard cam.

When they turn a corner, the steering 'wheel' turns vertical and you no longer see the drivers face - how tf do they see ?

The same as our newly rich drivers in their black BMW's looking through their steering wheels. They also can't see the tar of the street ahead. It actually looks like as if they are lying in a bathtub.

They are looking into and beyond the turn, not dead ahead.
Same as when you're walking, you're looking at where you will be in the next few moments, and not the few centimetres directly in front of you.
