F1: 2020 Austrian Grand Prix

[Kiante]

Guliano is actually showing pace for once.

If Mick can get in the top 10, that would be huge at this point. Big mistake from him.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Illott and Schumacher are definitely gunning for that Alfa seat. Schwarzman and Armstrong are there as well, these boys know what is on the line.

Ferrari have a solid Academy built up.

You can’t say Nobuharu’s last name lol.

Didn't Paul Page intentionally mispronounce Hiro Ms name to avoid saying ****?

 

[Reck]

Where are you boys watching F2?

 

[Kiante]

Schumacher is going to be slapping himself after this.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Didn't Paul Page intentionally mispronounce Hiro Ms name to avoid saying ****?

I think Hiro told him to say it however he wanted and most of the time he just called him Hiro

ESPN3. Sprint race is early tomorrow.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Let's Go Danny and Ferrari !!!

 

[Kiante]

Let's Go Danny and Ferrari !!!

Better hope Mercedes engines are as fragile as they were in winter testing.

 

[Reck]

Lewis Hamilton got a penalty after Red Bull protested. That’s after he was cleared.

 

[donthaveanickname]

F1 is the only racing series where races are won in the first corner.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I really like Max's chances over the full course of this race

 

[Kiante]

Looks like the medium is the tire to be on.

They need to get these softs off quickly.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Brundle is right about taking out the 2nd DRS zone. That was way too easy for Hamilton

 

[Kiante]

Ferrari's pace makes it about 5th fastest car atm.

Verstappen I think is done. What in the world? Did he change a setting or something? Anti-stall is on, yikes.

 

[Reck]

The DRS zones are out of whack here.

The one at the front stretch is nearly worthless while the one where Hamilton just made the pass is far too easy.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Well that makes it easier for Hamilton to get that 7th world title

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looks like the medium is the tire to be on.

They need to get these softs off quickly.

F1 managed to completely eliminate tire strategy. They could run the whole race on one set of mediums.

 

[Reck]

Karma for snitching?

Thou protest too much. Hard to care for a team who constantly whine about other cars been too fast.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well that makes it easier for Hamilton to get that 7th world title

It would be a surprise if Hamilton doesn't get #7 this year.

 

[FLRacingFan]

After spending the whole weekend lodging protests I don’t mind Red Bull encountering issues.

One-stops are meh, though. Not a whole lot as far as strategy options with these tires.

 

[Kiante]

Karma for snitching?

Thou protest too much. Hard to care for a team who constantly whine about other cars been too fast.

Also, they did screw over Albon after Max damaged the new front wing. They gave Max the other new wing.

 

[Kiante]

Oh dear Danny.

Can't wait for him to leave Renault.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It seems like Ricciardo has more technical failures than the rest of the field combined.

 

[Reck]

Renault is a real embarrassment. RIC’s worse F1 mistake. Easily

 

[Kiante]

I think Stroll's issue is getting worse. He's losing more pace by lap.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Danny's decision to go to Renault is easily one of the worst moves since JV going to BAR

 

[FLRacingFan]

Oof, pretty early for this much attrition.

 

[Kiante]

Danny's decision to go to Renault is easily one of the worst moves since JV going to BAR

Nothing is worse than that. JV in 99' retired all from about three or four races.

I'd say Alonso's second stint in Renault is more comparable.

Stroll is done.

 

[Kiante]

I love RoGro to pieces, but he has got to go.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hamilton keeps setting fastest laps. He’s closing slowly.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Bottas is still garbage pass it on

 

[Kiante]

K-Mag's brakes went out.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Bottas is still garbage pass it on

He's not going to challenge Hamilton for the title at all. I hope Russell will be in a Mercedes in a couple of years.

 

[Reck]

Yikes. When the full safety car comes out and you still have a 1-2 in spades.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Pit stops were better with the lollipop man.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Between driving ability and car quality Haas has a lot to work on.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Perez on mediums will be interesting to see how it plays out

 

[FLRacingFan]

RF brake disc for MAG

 

[Reck]

He's not going to challenge Hamilton for the title at all. I hope Russell will be in a Mercedes in a couple of years.

You can put Vettel in there and Hamilton still comes out on top, imo.

He’s just too good for the current crop. Bottas is a solid driver. Definitely not trash.

Cant expect him to mount a serious challenge when you just can’t measure up.
