Are there any other areas of Brands Hatch where can you see almost the entire Indy circuit other than Paddock Hill Bend?

Car had to be ready in the pit box with all work finished in the first part of qualifying, his was still being worked on in the garage so wasn’t allowed to leave the pit lane.

Bit of a cock up by the team. It's pretty obvious that start of session means the start of Q1 overall not just your part otherwise you're getting longer to work on your car than the guys out first.

Did anybody watching on TV this weekend notice on Ash Sutton's on board camera his bonnet flexing down on the straights and flexing back up under breaking? And is this new for this season?

The Focus bonnets did seem a little bit prone to coming loose after they had a had knock, I wonder if that's linked to the way they have designed the bonnet to flex.

Touring car bonnets sometimes do flex, some more than others. Not sure if they're designed to do that or if it just a by-product of other design elements.

Maybe it’s clever marketing… Ford Flex

Jake Hills bonnet did flex down quite a bit in one of the rear view cameras from another car. I believe it’s due to some of the “reinforcement” underneath being removed.

If you watch this slow motion video from Croft testing you can see lots of bonnet flexing on those cars and others, and something I'd never seen before, windscreen flexing too!

Is there any chance of a mid-season tyre test this year?
Do they always announce those before the season?

It’s quite deliberate, looking for aero gains.

Lol, it’s definitely for aero. Bodywork deflection for aero gains is nothing new.

My B bonnet does that because I’m basically like Adrian Newey.
