It doesn't matter what the T&C's say if a class-action lawyer smells blood in the water.

I mean it kinda does since the T&Cs are the contract between you and FOM. It would be an uphill battle to win in court against the sort of lawyers liberty could throw at it if they wanted if the contract terms also favour them.
 
LMAO, this is the compensation they're giving out:

Too bad the track screwed Ferrai over that would have been an easy front row lock out. Also what the heck was Red Bull thinking keeping Perez in the pit in Q2? And double funny, both Williams in the Top 10 while Hamilton misses Q2. The radio: Sorry guys i couldn't get any faster

According to reddit ticketmaster is saying no refunds on tickets for the farce that was 8 minute FP1 and kicked out before FP2 because the event was not cancelled and went ahead so their T&Cs say "fuck you".

Will be interesting if FOM choose to issue refunds or if they all rub their hands together having scammed people out of a lot of money (some guy on reddit had a FP1 and FP2 only ticket which cost $500).

Notice no "and well find a way to compensate you for it".

Who would've guessed? Neither here or there
 
Well this is just optimism+

Can't see many people not starting on softs after a load of drivers went for two warm up laps in qualy.

I hope one of the ones starting at the back holds up the start procedure as much as possible for top keks.
 
Hamilton is as good as done. Charlie's gonna get it, and if not, probably someone else
 
I would call it for Leclerc were it not for the man's continual streak of bad luck coinciding with a race in a town that feeds on the souls of the unlucky.

Until I see results that suggest otherwise, the Frenchman is like someone who hit 21 on his first hand of Blackjack, and who is about to be brutally felted over the remainder of the weekend.

Not a lot of new softs avaliable, if they think they can turn on and they'll last then they may go for used. Either way I doubt there'll be many going for an undercut since its going to take 2+ laps to get them up to temperature.

I wonder what performance people would get out of inters. They're softer than the softs and have an operating temperature 20° below that of the dry tyres. They usually suffer overheating on a dry track but that long straight and at those temperatures might be enough to make them last. Would be another hilarious part of this mess if someone could make it work.

It's an interesting thought, and I'm sure the gap will be relatively small compared to other tracks, but there's no way inters will work better than slicks on a dry track imo. The quickest times for inters are often still something like 5-10 seconds behind slicks, even shitty cold tires won't be that bad.
The tread just makes the surface area so much smaller, no matter how soft they are.

By the way, 9 teams were formally in favor of Carlos having a reduced penalty, one team voted no. No surprises who.

If it's not incredibly bad luck that takes him out, it'll be Ferrari's strategy bending him over as per usual.

Leclerc is so unlucky, he could fall into a barrel full of titties and end up sucking his own thumb.

I really hope I'm wrong though.
