What are your thoughts on the fact that F1 cut the timing data feeds off for Barcelona?

Not surprised in the slightest.

I think this was an oversight from them in the first place that they could... Clearly, there's been some sort of link between the live timing at the circuit and some sort of gateway or whatever is still running into the website of the Catalonia F1 live timing website or whatever it might be.

So I'm not surprised in the slightest and I can't be angry at them either for doing it when they have said all this stuff about it being a private test.

They obviously did not want the live timing out there because...

You can deduce a lot of things from a set of live timing data, because it literally says, stop running in pits.

You could know who's broken down at all times.

So I was annoyed, obviously, because I want to see the live timing, but I am not surprised, and...

They have to go down that route.

They can't go, yes, teams, we promise you a private test, but everybody can look at your live timings at all times.

Next question, and a dog is now on my lap, so there's clearly been an edit, from underscore R2F1.

Is it true there is a rule by F1 about how many pictures the teams can release this week?

I can only imagine what their chats must be like prior to running.

Like, right, what are these six pictures going to be?

How many of them can be memes?

No, no memes, six pictures.

To be fair, though, they probably want to show as little of the car as possible with those six pictures.

Because isn't that what the teams are constantly trying to do is hide what they've come up with?

I guess, especially at secret testing and no pictures are released apart from if you're in a tree.
