Poll: Austrian Grand Prix 2021, Spielberg - Race 9/23

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Well... Last week's race was God awful, but they've had a whole few days, so we can expect massive massive differences.
I'm sure this one will be a 10/10.

I can't believe last week's race is being described as average. Unless we accept that "average" in F1 means "rubbish", which wouldn't be too far off.

 

[Mr Jack]

I'm increasingly coming to the view that these 60 minute practice sessions were a bad idea. They seem to be leading to traffic issues on track, and their main impact seems to be making it hard for new drivers and drivers that switched teams to get up to speed.

 

[Feek]

We can only hope.

A whole 2mm of rain? I'm sure they're quaking in their boots.

At least the tyres are a step softer this week so there's at least one different variable to affect the race. Fingers crossed the weather is too.

1mm of rain per hour is definitely noticeable, and will have an effect... if it happens.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Indeed. The end of FP2 got a bit slippy just now.

If it all came down at once, otherwise it will mostly just burn off. they'll stay on slicks. Mazapin will spin.

Well done to Stroll and Giovonazzi in FP2.

Bah I had forgotten this was a double. This track is pants.

The problem is 100% not the track - the F3 race this morning was fantastic:

Thats a lotta cars, F1 would be better with a few more.

 

[englishpremier]

Those pictures of the Dutch fans looks crazy.

 

[Mr Jack]

Interesting to see a bunch of drivers on yellows for Q1

 

[Flibster]

Those orange smoke canisters can sod right off! Hateful things!

Alonso radio - Yeah, I don't know what Tsunoda was doing in turn 9.

Leclerc lap time deleted - track limits turn 9

Ricciardo lap time deleted - track limits turn 9

 

[englishpremier]

How did Alonso manage 2nd in Q1, Lewis' second run couldn't beat it. Ocon seems really poor on this track.

 

[englishpremier]

The Mercs might have to use the soft to get through on Q2

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - Sorry guys, was that too fast?

 

[el_dazza]

Russell again proving how damn good he is. Really hope he grabs some points this weekend.

 

[Flibster]

Perez out on softs.

Russell on mediums.

 

[Flibster]

That was a big hold up for Alonso
