Should have put a bet on.I'm going with Ferrari not making it to Q3 this weekend, Charles is making all kinds of defeatist noises this weekend

Would have been a meltdown for the ages if he was still around.Santi in shambles
Their fuel flow sensor is now working correctly this year. That's probably how they're down by about a second.Ferrari have basically lost a second from last years car. How is that possible?
Commentators just mentioned the investigation into their engine which coincided with them not taking poles anymore. They were definitely up to something a bit fishy.Ferrari have basically lost a second from last years car. How is that possible?
Did he slow down for that yellow flag? Not sure if it effected anyone last lap.Lewis could not beat Bottas, that's a shock
Bottas is strong in Austria. Has a win there and a few poles there now too.Lewis could not beat Bottas, that's a shock

No doubt about that, but you’d think an updated Ferrari with the same power level as everyone else would at least be closer than a second off pole.Commentators just mentioned the investigation into their engine which coincided with them not taking poles anymore.

Don’t get your hopes up. I almost bought into the Bottas 2.0 hype last yearPretty bummed by just how far the Mercs are ahead. Pleased for Bottas, hopefully he puts up a fight this year. Pleased for Norris too.
Over half a second ahead on a minute long track though. Jeez.
It's only weak because they're not exceeding the fuel flow limits that they were doing last year.The Ferrari is looking so weak this year. Not sure if this track is highlighting their weak spots, which just seems to be flat out pace, but even if so they are in for a bad couple of races... At least.
No further action because "the video footage confirmed that there have been yellow flags and green light panels at the same time and therefore conflicting signals were shown to the driver". Do think it ought to be the rule that if there are conflicting signals then you take the safest option - in this case the yellow flag - but the stewards are right to not penalise him. He did lose one lap time for exceeding track limits, still P2 though.Lewis is under investigation for not slowing down, when yellow flags were out could get a grid pen.
He called out Ferrari for cheating last year and they kicked up a massive stink about him doing so as the link provided by @F-Red shows. And after the confidential settlement with the FIA during the off-season, all Ferrari cars are between 0.6-1.2 seconds slower than last year.Right about what?
More than just a coincidence.Their fuel flow sensor is now working correctly this year. That's probably how they're down by about a second.
Gotcha. Thanks - totally missed that last year. Indeed sounds like Max was on to something there.No further action because "the video footage confirmed that there have been yellow flags and green light panels at the same time and therefore conflicting signals were shown to the driver".

Especially since two of them don’t race F1 cars anymore.I had a dream three drivers died following collisions. Stroll, Massa, and Glock. Would be insane if it came to fruition.
Yes exactlyEspecially since two of them don’t race F1 cars anymore.
so what was the difference form yesterday to day ?Right decision looking at the footage, Hamilton starts 5th.
Red Bull issued the petition, they felt there was camera angles that weren't reviewed and they will benefit the most from a review. It concluded to be the correct decision, why the stewards didn't review the 360 degree camera from Hamilton's car yesterday is beyond me. He was flat through a yellow flag.so what was the difference form yesterday to day ?
Pressure from Red Bull and Ferrari apparently
