Does anyone have an actual figure for what it costs per lap in F1? I thought I heard a figure of £1000 a lap or some such?

I'd be staggered if it was that low - although depends on how it is calculated of course. 17 years ago, the accepted cost per lap for V8 Supercars here in Australia was $3000 AUD per lap (about 1500 pounds) with much, much smaller budgets than F1 teams - costs for everything have gone up since then so I think the figure of 1,000 GBP is probably a bit light.

Great lap by Leclerc. Great end to the session that was. Good to see Alonso up there. Gonna be interesting to see what Max can do from 8th

Also, can you do an analysis for Maldonado or Bigjohn, allowing for less laps and crash damage please? |

Tsk. Don't go bringing extra factors into the equation, it'll make things far less dramatic!
But based on a first lap retirement, you'd be looking at a cost of roughly 50x that amount for that lap. Whichever way I slice this up, F1 is insanely expensive. Slightly related - when we were recovering Zhou's car at Silverstone I was concerned we were going to damage it while being lifted. Then I thought... it's already knackered, so a little bit more knackeration won't really matter! And anyway, excepting a single wishbone which we had to run a strop round, nothing did break in the lift. Lifting a car when the main lifting point is 300m away on the track is tricky |

Why do they keep forgetting to bring the wet tyres? It seems very careless..

If it rains again during the race will they red flag it?

The SC didn't help Russell, like Toto Wolff had hoped. Maybe another is required.

Alonso out of the race on his 350th GP.
VSC. Russell pits for mediums. |
