OK, so I get the FP1 delay because of Vettel's electrical situation, but why did it take another 15 minutes for the track to go green after the car was on the truck on its way back to the pits?

To clean all the electrons off from the track

I agree. He rarely outperforms his car in qualifying and while he is typically strong on the first lap his race pace isn't fantastic. As cool as it would be to see Albon get that second seat I could see ferrari push Mick to the second Alfa seat (or keep him there to help fund Haas) or Robert Schwartzman gets placed in Alfa because he is the Ferrari Driver. 

Alex probably has a better future in indy car at this point 

Ferrari doesn’t control that seat anymore, and Mick is almost definitely staying at Haas. It really sounds like RBR are working to get Albon in either the Williams or Alfa seat.

This is a cool track

Word up.  Such a cool track.  Tight and windy, and dat banking!

Red flag in every session so far though. I hope everyone is getting it out of their systems and we have a clean qualy and a clean race...

The on board camera with Alonzo when he locked up before the banked curve was intense. Feels like it will be easy for someone to overshoot straight into that wall. 
 

Has to be a red flag tomorrow?

Kind of hoping for one. Otherwise it seems like we’re in for a procession.

Like the track. Feels like it could be 3 ft wider. Cars look huge out there. 

It's awesome, but it's built for bikes. I just got a text from a buddy who's raced there before. He says that while it's one of his favorite ever tracks to drive, the race will be a procession.

Same with the other Dutch track, Assen. Narrow and awesome for bikes.

F2 cars aren't that much smaller. Only 100 mm narrower.
