Poll: Austrian Grand Prix 2017, Spielberg - Race 9/20

[wesley]

Should have a rule of 3 pit stop minimum to make the race more interesting.

Ie, new tyres every 15 laps so they'll might as well go faster.

 

[Flibster]

And Massa is the last to pit - 47 laps on the soft tyres.

 

[Flibster]

C'mon rain!

Nice steady rain, not a downpour, but a nice amount of wet.

 

[Flibster]

Another Mercedes strategy fail it seems.

 

[utajoker]

Ham aint gonna get to the end

And Massa is the last to pit - 47 laps on the soft tyres.

That's ridiculous! It's making the race so boring. The race is all about the timing on the spreadsheet.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton who has been complaining about the tyres and balance, does a 1:07.608 for a new race lap record.

 

[utajoker]

ham flying now.

 

[MooMoo444]

This is boring

 

[Flibster]

So, coming up to the driver of the day point....

Ummm... Bottas? Genuinely can't think of anyone else who has been impressive or even stood out.

And a 1:07.675 for Hamilton.

Quite. Who knows how much quicker he'd be than he already is if he just quit complaining over the radio about every single thing...

 

[Flibster]

Make that a 1:07.511 for Hamilton...

 

[utajoker]

could have done with this pace a few laps ago.

 

[pacegod]

Hams left rear tyre looks very angry.

 

[Flibster]

All of Hamilton's tyres are blistered. Ricciardo's aren't as bad, but still blistered.

 

[Flibster]

Rain at turn 9 according to Perez

1:07.424 for Hamilton now.

 

[UTmaniac]

Yawn, please give us rain just after Bottas and Vettel start another lap!

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton has DRS now.

Or did... anyway.

 

[Flibster]

Vettel closes up to Bottas due to traffic. Now around 1s only.

 

[Flibster]

1:07.411 for Hamilton
