Watching Teds Notebook and he goes neither car will have the low drag parts so doubt we are going to see the same performance from Friday practice / Qualifying.
F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
OUCH thats going to hurt them.
Might be a struggle to even finish top 10
That is pretty much my view as well.
MS positioned his car well. But for an F2 driver, that is not too difficult.
Lewis does seem to be more careful this season. And yesterday, my view is that after damaging his car before, he did not want to ruin his chances in the GP today.
MS obviously has ability. But living under the Schumacher name has to be a really tough act to follow.
Not wanting to damage the car more before the GP, yeah I can go with that.
Still dont think he has total confidence in the car, not like he had with previous years.
With the news that Mecedes have no low drag parts, today could be a long race for them.
Mark Hughes for the The Race website.
"....The team brought three low-downforce wings appropriate to the Red Bull Ring’s layout but the crashes destroyed two of them. The surviving one was fitted to Hamilton’s car, obliging Russell to take the less than optimum wing...."
One of them has got it wrong.
So one left , fitted to Lewis's car, that makes a difference. He should get up the field, while Russell might struggle.
Ha ha!For fecks sake you sure have a way to put a negative spin on everything must be fun at parties
I'm great at parties as long as they aren't blinkered Max love ins.
Agreed. And I disliked Vettel a lot when at Red Bull, I always wanted Webber to do well and preferred him. But now Vettel is one of my favourite drivers for talking sense.
This guy.Marko not happy with radio messages to Lewis
Marko wants rule change after Hamilton radio message (msn.com)
Scarbs F1 update for new parts on cars in Austria. Williams, RedBull, Alpine and Mclaren. Only 5mins long. Has to be watched on youtube.
Hope Aston Martin can turn around the season for Seb. Can so easily see him walk away at the end of the year
Seems like a bunch of cavemen are using Super Max's success as an excuse to get extraordinarily drunk, tribal, and belligerent. I doubt it was the same five year ago, or that they care much about the race.
It's the Verstappen tradition, passed on from father to son.
To be fair, they are in no way responsible for what goes on in the stands. It's not like they are inciting it, and didn't Max come out the other day and say that the ones who cheered Hamilton's crash aren't F1 fans?
Just watching Martin Brundle driving the 1992 Benetton powered by the brilliant Cosworth Ford engine screeming behind him. Such an iconic sound, especially compared to the current V6.
You forget how dominant Ford engines were in F1. From the DFV in the late 1960's where almost every team used except of course Ferrari.
It was so inexpensive and available that many small teams could afford to go into F1 and actually win races.

Also, just realized K-Mag and Lewis and starting in the same row today. Contact guaranteed, and somehow only the Haas will take damage.
Those flares could be a problem, if the smoke drifts across the track.
Is that a piano on pole
clouds look black on TV , is there a chance of rain ?
Give credit where its due, they were Cosworth engines through and through. Never mind the badge. Cosworth had some incredible designs, also the BDA/YB in touring cars and rallying. It's a shame they have faded.
working on Lewis car, looks like a brake issue.
Brake repair on Lewis' car.
Brundle missing today? Always liked his calamity grid walks
Are there tracks on the calendar with less turns than the 10 here?
He seems better at walking the grid wirh a 92 benetton car.
Yes of course. The DFV was a development of the F2 FVA engine.
But the funding for that was provided by Ford.
You may well have read it. But the book Such Sweet Thunder described how the Cosworth Ford DFV came into being and dominated F1 like nothing before or after.
In that book, it showed that a team could buy an engine for something like £12,000 and a Hewland gearbox and pretty much go racing.
Definitely worth a read.
Sitting in a load of smoke all race must be fun
Austrian GP
The formation lap was better than the spring race, at least they all go away .
You would be pissed if you paid a shit load of money to be sat in it.
Flares always look cool but it must be awful for 99% of the people around it
Historically that has always been a penalty but it is lap 1
Sainz did a Lews
Reminds me of Hamilton vs Albon
good start from Max, good clean start.
Holy shit
Perez spins out rejoins and Seb saying he has damage.
Max already looking like he has this won.
Mick remembering his last name.
George Russell is learning from his teammate.
