Stroll is not well enough to compete in FP3, uncertain for qualifying.
The Spanish TV commentators are suggesting (as an unconfirmed rumour) that he might have tested positive for Covid yesterday, and that they're going to make a new test to verify it... Hülkenberg might be (again) the replacement.
They just said that it's now confirmed that he won't make it to P3, and it's still to be seen if he'll be ready for Qualy.

May be nothing but smells like covid

That doesn't make a lot of sense. If Stroll already tested positive for Covid yesterday then surely they would've done a confirmation test right away and already had Hulkenberg on stand-by and written in for FP3 instead of now having an empty car sitting in the garage.

There any confirmed reports of what's up with stroll? Skyf1 talking about it have no idea atm. Hopefully not covid related

How do Racing Point keep finding new ways to throw away P3 in the WCC
A Macca 2007 scenario??
You can keep going ... but only if you ...

Cmore said he has a flu, maybe even Corona.
Mika Salo leaking private health information to Finnish media?!!

Unsure on Hulkenberg's status in terms of Covid testing etc ahead of qualifying, but teams are allowed to replace a driver for that session (Williams did with di Resta and Massa in Hungary 2017). But as @PHortonF1 points out, there's another German driver here ready to go... #F1
Mick?
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:30
Is Stoffel at the track?
e. As Merc’s reserve driver. I don’t mean I think he is German.

I thought about Mick as well but making your F1 debut without any practice would be madness.

If there is nobody to compete in qualifying I doubt the FIA would let then start the race without doing any kind of time in free practice.

@SMitchellF1
Hopefully Lance Stroll feels better and can drive. If not, will he be replaced? If Nico Hulkenberg's not around, he'd need to get to the track/pass a COVID-19 test in time. Whereas Mercedes reserve Stoffel Vandoorne is on site already:
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:38
Still my question remains.. is it possible to put a driver in the seat for the qualifying and race race who didn't partake in FP3?@SMitchellF1

Yes, you can jump straight in for qualifying without doing any practice. But without both practice and qualifying a driver wouldn't be allowed to race I think.

Yeah, if they put in a guy with. K qualifying time and no free practise time to.demonstrate he can get within 107%< will the FIA let him drive in the race? Maybe Stroll or Hulkenberg, who've already driven this season, would get away with it...Yes you can't race without having done a practice session beforehand technically qualifying is seen as a practice session too so pressure is on racing point to make the right decision

Think stoffel is a certain stand in if lance can't race and Hulkenberg ain't at the track. Probably in Mercedes interest to get him a race just incase something goes wrong with Hamilton or Bottas during a race weekend coming up.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:43
Corona hes keeping his distance funy that and likely to mis the race

That's amazing news. Racing Point is going to have an upgrade of drivers again this week.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:48
lol again...everytime I think the season will calm down a bit it throws a complete curveball.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:48
It's a good job the Autobahn has no speed limitsMust have driven that there in record time.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 10:48
A seat fitting would be required for Stoffel and the seat hardening takes up to a couple of hours. And after that the seat has to be finished which are some hours of work also. So running in Lance's seat will be a tough deal.

Having Hulk back is the only positive out of this COVID nonsense all year.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 11:01
They actually do. Certainly the autobahn in the Ruhr region are all limited. About 60% of all the German Autobahn are under a permanent speed limit.
Posted 10 October 2020 - 11:04
What is that limit?
it depends, usually it's something between 90 and 130 kph, depending on how bad the roadworks are (which is pretty much always the reason for speed limits)
Posted 10 October 2020 - 11:05
Hulk-Perez?
Ah, the nostalgia!

Depends. City rings are usually 80kmh, rural areas are limited at 100kmh and outside those areas the limits are 130kmh.What is that limit?

That’s a 991.2 GT2 RS MR - the current Ring record holder with a 6.40.33
