About this deal

Hamilton got fastest lap after pitting for fresh medium tyres while Magnussen lost 3 positions on the last lap and Gasly finished a tough one stop race that almost saw him score in both races but Apline scoring in both the sprint with Gasly then the Feature race with Ocon will surely have them leaving with smiles on their faces. One of the best parts of the race weekend pre-COVID would be going to the grid, something reserved for permanently accredited journalists. It would give a chance to soak up the atmosphere and occasionally grab tidbits of information that can help make a story. Teams are given an allocation of tyre per weekend within which they may choose the amount of each compound they want for the weekend. These were among a series of changes announced after a meeting at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday of the F1 Commission, the sport's rules think-tank that includes all the teams, along with governing body the FIA and commercial rights holder F1.

The shaft is hollow and allows some compliance in the line of torsional vibrations present in the crankshaft, the splines either end also allow for any misalignment, But it was felt the arrangement put too big a gap between qualifying and the grand prix and raised questions about the merit of Saturday's action, as the consequences of the sprint, with its reduced points, are minimal.

What does a race day at work look like for an F1 journalist?

The disadvantage is that it decreases the overall crankshaft bending stiffness which promotes big end bearing edge loading. Crankshaft pins are profiled axially (barreled) to counter this. Team Principal Christian Horner told Redbull media "It's an historic moment and one that mean so much, we certianly don't take this for granted. Checo drove a great race today... Max was typically phenomenal once again. He's at one with himself and the car" Lap 42 Ocon got Stroll and was only 2.8 behind Norris on very old tyres. Ocon did his very best to hunt down Norris but the Mclaren man held on and scored a respectable 7th place when earlier a points finish seemed out of reach today. But an unexpected highlight glimpsed from the trailer is the behind the scenes access to the process of making their Formula 1 cars, something most teams choose to keep close to their chest, and which will be one of the real highlights of this documentary.

A change to the technical regulations will allow the teams to add an extra duct underneath the monocoque to channel air from outside the car on to the driver in addition to the usual one in the nose. With 10 to go Lewis was struggling to catch Leclerc in the closing stages of the race, but there was plenty of racing down the field with Ricciardo chasing Hulkenberg, Zhou chasing down Ricciardo, Ocons briliant move on Tsunoda around the outside for 9th place and Lando Norris was holding onto 7th with Soft tyres he put on, on lap 18. It is also worth noting that on a conventional crankshaft (as opposed to nose oil fed) a similar stress reduction effect can be achieved by boring through the main journal. Making his first few appearances during the 1991 season, Matt joined his father Steve's Team Dynamics outfit for his first full campaign in 1992, taking charge of the previous season's championship-winning BMW M3 from Will Hoy.

Whilst we are talking about three-time champions, we simply cannot ignore the accomplishments of one Matt Neal. The last few laps saw great racing with Bortoleto fighting his was up to 11th but still took no points. championship rival O'Sullivan had a tough feature race and was over taken by Bortoleto in the closing laps and finished 12th. Montoya over took Fornaroli to finish 5th and there was great racing between Marti & Franco Colapinto to close the race. Taking nothing away from other triple-winners in BTCC's history - which include Bernard Unett, Frank McGovern, Win Percy and Neal's Team Dynamics team-mate, Gordon Shedden - it is Matt Neal's story that will forever live on within BTCC folklore. As you can see the other drillings in the counter balance masses are just blind holes to accept waisted plugs, In Baku Pirelli chose to run the Medium Tyre during both Q1 & 2. This format is meant to help smaller teams with slower cars to gain an advantage on faster ones by stopping the stronger engined cars from putting a softer compound on to get through to the next round of qualifying.
