Alesi on Panis! We missed that when it was live.

[Chick0]

My god, Schumi is really having to baby that Ferrari.. 

[PayasYouRace]

Jacques is a lot closer to HHF.

 

Edit: There’s the swap. Time for our championship fight.

I had almost forgotten digital advert boards which about every circuit had somewhere in 1997. In Jerez on the background near turn 3.

I don’t think I’d ever noticed them. But I suppose it just shows that today’s digital adverts aren’t anything new.

His laptimes are plenty fast!

[Risil]

The audio quality (presumably from the media facilities at Jerez) is terrible!

[Risil]

Brundle does the obligatory "The car behind isn't really closing in at the slow corners, it just looks that way". I've asked before, but when did they stop doing that?

[midgrid]

Frentzen is dropping back quickly - is he deliberately keeping the McLarens back from the lead fight?

[PayasYouRace]

HHF has really fallen back into the McLarens. Also nice to see Damon hanging on to them rather than falling back.

I think they were selling different adverts to different parts of the world.

[PayasYouRace]

Michael isn’t hanging about. He wants that third title.

Brundle thinks so. So much tactics.

Exactly. A handy green screen for each broadcaster.

Edit. On that shot it was advertising DF1.

but avoiding curbs and driving it on the front end,  clearly trying to save his rears.  

[Risil]

Irvine hasn't done much figuring out of the Ferrari since Monaco last week. Still waiting for that test session?

[midgrid]

Panis back past Alesi, according to the timing.

[Maustinsj]

I've been wiping my screen for ages wondering why I can't get rid of the little mark on it. I've just realised that it's on one of the circuit cameras 

[PayasYouRace]

Lost my internet connection for a moment there. Someone must have been trying to phone me.

[SophieB]

I like to think the silence during the ad break meant Murray and Martin were just sat in total silence, possibly disinterestedly eating crisps before they got the ‘and we’re back!’ Signal

Nowadays it would be a hashtag making fun of Villeneuve's changing hair colour.

Do you mean just the commentary? The track sounds are pretty good. Even hear the cars on the kerbs occasionally.

Or the driver of the day vote, which would pretty much be won every time by Jos Verstappen.

There they are, behind the Stewart.

[TomNokoe]

Schumi is absolutely storming. Lighter than JV?

[midgrid]

Magnussen has improved a lot this season and is showing Barrichello the way this weekend. Perhaps he will lead the Stewart team in 1998.

[PayasYouRace]

Picture in picture! Technology that has apparently been lost to F1 in the 21st century.

[PayasYouRace]

Michael serene, Jacques looking messy. Can’t see Schumacher losing this title at this stage.

[midgrid]

Minardi ahoy! Here comes the lappery.

[SophieB]

“Eddie Irvine is at it again...”

[PayasYouRace]

Some of that Ross Brawn tactical genius coming up?

[midgrid]

Here's a good opportunity for Frentzen to back Schumacher into Villeneuve.

[midgrid]

Irvine jumps Hill in the pit-stop cycle.

[PayasYouRace]

I wonder how much fuel HHF has on board.

[midgrid]

Coulthard in. Now Villeneuve has a clear run at Schumacher.

[PayasYouRace]

Looks like we have a fight again.

[TomNokoe]

TV director!!

[midgrid]

Surely Villeneuve will go for it if he gets another chance at that corner.

It’s a good place to do it.

[PayasYouRace]

I think Verstappen is just holding Katayama off.

[PayasYouRace]

“Martin you are a cynical chap.”

[Baddoer]

Fontana once said he was asked by his team to hold Villeneuve here.

[TomNokoe]

Only 30k watching

[PayasYouRace]

Frentzen’s out of the picture now with the McLarens in front of him. Hoping for no more blocking and baulking and just a clean fight now.

[PayasYouRace]

Some debris there at Turn 7.

[Boing 2]

The 97 Jordan

[PayasYouRace]

Ralf doesn’t even get off the racing line to let his brother by.

[midgrid]

Schumacher crucially out ahead of the McLarens.

Villeneuve out behind Coulthard!

[SophieB]

Martin and Murray so want Michael to take this one.

[SophieB]

Lol.
