Poll: Official 2025 Austrian Grand Prix Race Thread - Red Bull Ring, Spielberg - Race 11/24

[Mr Jack]

Aborted start coming, by the looks of it.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Race Director isn’t getting a bonus this week…

 

[Stu999]

Penalty for Sainz / Williams?

 

[Journey]

They extended this track to 2041, seems like they need to sort out the chaos first.

 

[layte]

Sainz having an absolute banger of a weekend.

 

[Flibster]

Actually, that sums up Sainz's weekend now... Both rear brakes spewing flame.

 

[.:MBK:.]

guess thats why it didn't want to move

 

[t2na]

Penalty for Sainz / Williams?

Nah, they didn't do anything wrong. Stewards were at fault for not calling the aborted start earlier.

 

[SpartaP]

Feel for Sainz. His car did not want to run this track this weekend

 

[Stu999]

Having a ‘mare here, Sainzy.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Well that sums up Sainz's weekend. Car stuck in first gear and not moving.

It hasn’t got any better…

 

[KiNgPiN83]

That car absolutely did not want to start this race.

 

[Mr Jack]

Nah, they didn't do anything wrong. Stewards were at fault for not calling the aborted start earlier.

No-one did anything wrong.

 

[.:MBK:.]

that car is still protesting, smoking away

 

[t2na]

Do we think Sainz can start the race? They've been spraying those fire extinguishers ever since it stopped, surely that's going to cause issues with the car itself? (obviously on top of the existing issues).

Edit: big nope...

That's a hard no.

 

[t2na]

No-one did anything wrong.

I think by T4/T5 it was pretty obvious Sainz wasn't going to get going - so an aborted start at that point should have been the call, rather than waiting until Lando hit the second last corner.

 

[Stu999]

James V not happy.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Struggling to understand why they didn’t pull the rear wheels off to get the heat out earlier.

 

[Slam62]

Weird f1 race control again
