Official 2024 Austrian Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***

Not much in that track limits infringement for Piastri.

[sandman77]

Without Oscar’s lap being deleted, the top 6 were exactly the same as sprint qualifying. Not sure why we should expect anything else.

Oh dear, Charles.

In my opinion, whatever the top drivers like Lewis and Max have, Charles doesn’t.

Definitely! Charles is great, so fast... But he throws away that advantage too often. He won't ever be a WDC.

He can be beaten by someone that's not actually quite as quick, but always maximises points haul.

Agreed. He is overdriving personified. He is undoubtedly quick and extremely talented, but he is far too prone to mistakes and far too inconsistent. I think Russell is the same too.

Yeah, it’s been mentioned before, but he does have a tendency to fk it up when the pressure’s on. Shame though because I like him, and he’s quick when he keeps it pointing in the right direction.

Oscar is another who needs to get his head down and cut out the errors.

Yeah I do like him too and as I speak he is owning the mistake, as he usually does.

Oscar I can forgive, he’s only halfway through his second season, and he drove an excellent sprint.

Oh Lando..

[axel1990chp]

And people thought that Max and RB didn’t have an advantage anymore going into this race

Highlights commentator banging on about the q1 differences being 0.8 seconds adrift from 1st - 20th, that’s 20th giving it their absolute best, and P1 doing a “getting by” time…. Over a 65 second lap.

Sprint highlights were fun, was the full showing as enjoyable?

Can’t see anything other than cya later Max tomorrow, and them gravel traps causing a serious coming together with some close scraps, reckon a safety car or 2!

Perez 1.4% slower than Verstappen.

for comparision
Norris/Piastri 0.5% (Track limits)
Russell/Hamilton 0.3%
Sainz Leclerc 0.3%

Utterly shameful for Perez

If he's 'shameful' where does that leave Alonso

In Q2, unlike his team mate.

I think to be fair to Perez, he didn't have any new tyres for Q3, which accounts for *some* of that.

[oobster]

I've wondered more than a few times this season if Ferrari are getting rid of the right driver at the end of the year.

Alonso qualified ahead of his teammate, didn't he?

In front of his teammate as usual.

Only because he had to burn two new sets to get out of Q2!

Where did he finish today?

I'll help you out.....behind by over 10 seconds....but do carry on with the RB bashing as usual

I am struggling to get what point you're trying to make here. Are you seriously suggesting Alonso is somehow comparable with Perez?


And where have I 'bashed' Red Bull?
