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

[cuke2u]

The McLaren wasn't that bad over a single lap, however it was poor on race days and showed its weaknesses and yes Norris has always gone well at this track so we'll see how it is in the sprint and race days.
Norris seems quite happy though https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/...n-austria-despite.7J0FTqxjk6mtZwcfDgLEHL.html

 

[Mr Jack]

Track is proper soaking for the F3.

 

[Scam]

So err, remind me what a sprint shootout is?

Trying to decide whether either day is worth my time. I’m thinking maybe the actual race tomorrow - better to give viewership to that rather than the nonsense sprint stuff. None of the sprint stuff counts towards the championship does it?

 

[Mr Jack]

It's quali but for the sprint race with a shortened format. If you like quali it's worth a watch. Should be damp too which could mix things up.

Forgot this is a Brundle free weekend, I think I'll be turning the volume down

 

[Mr Jack]

I thought they had mandatory tyre compounds for the sprint shootout? Were they just trialing that at the last sprint?

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton out! Wowsers!

 

[el_dazza]

That was frantic. Hamilton out

 

[chrismscotland]

Sprint race should be decent!

think they said as session is declared wet it basically rescinds that rule so they can do what they want.

 

[Stumble Bum]

loool Hamilton out. Shocking.

Ah, thanks.

 

[utajoker]

Sprint might be interesting atleast

 

[SDK^]

That lap from Sainz !

 

[Stumble Bum]

'It's a sprint race so it doesn't really matter'

Hamilton sounding a little salty.

 

[chrismscotland]

Russell with an issue now as well, Merc not making it easy for themselves

 

[Mr Jack]

Bad day for Mercedes.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Merc will quit F1 before they win another WDC or WCC imo

 

[Mr Jack]

Hope that Haas mechanic is okay after that.

 

[Mr Jack]

Mad grid. Hope Hülk doesn't get a penalty for that unsafe release.
