Poll: Official 2023 Austrian Grand Prix Thread - Red Bull Ring, Spielberg - Round 10

[Jono8]

Exciting sprint for the midfield. Good call by Russell to pit before everyone else and snag a point. Gave him the heat in the tyres to leapfrog everyone else who stopped a lap or two later.

Shame it didn't dry out a few laps earlier or we could have seen some serious upsets from any front runners who ballsed up the strategy.

Max obviously just too good.

Nasty moment with Arthur Leclerc's wheel in F2 there. A foot forward and that would have landed directly on top of his head.

Credit to whoever posted their highlights from last race, I love watching their videos.

Some great racing in the F3 race earlier, F2 was a little tamer but a late safety car mixed it up. Both races were bone dry and I can't see any threat of rain for later on.

Expecting Max to check out as per, but as usual it will be what else happens that will make this race interesting.

AccuWeather seems to think there will be scattered thunderstorms around 2-3 hours from now. I'd be surprised if it does materialise though.

Rain radar looks like there will be some light rain in the early laps.

Not enough to cause mayhem

Just awful to lose your life at 18. RIP young man.

Nice to see the male anthem singer has dressed up...

Oh dear, they really need to sort the mix out too.

Wow.. that guy rocking out with the keytar in the background.

Everyone on medium tyres except Alonso, Bottas and Magnussen who are on hards.

Track temperature 32°C
Air temperature 22°C
Risk of rain for the F1 race is 30%

 

[Trusty]

bit of rain halfway through would be good

 

[Purdy]

Max won then

 

[Flibster]

Aaand safety car.

 

[Flibster]

Magnussen radio - I have a Kers problem

 

[Psycho Ned]

Why they talk about anyone beating Verstappen I've no idea, unless he breaks down or crashes it don't matter if Ferrari beat him off the start or not he'll still cruise by them.

 

[el_dazza]

Max won then

'Lights out and Max Verstappen wins!'

 

[Flibster]

Safety car for those pieces of carbon? Wow...

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Safety car?

Edit: Marshall’s on track, fair enough.

 

[Bazzards]

Wtf, safety car.
