Who is Ferrari's 3rd/reserve driver? Just in case they need him
I'm expecting it to be a Merc 1-2, Ferrari or Red Bull 3rd.
Antonio Giovinazzi I think, loaned out to sauber a few times for a few FP1 outings, certain to replace Vettel if he gets banned probably sometime after the British GP but expect him to take lots of power unit penalties, probably one of every element just to save Vettel having to and starting from the back...........crafty them Ferrari folk are!I'm expecting it to be a Merc 1-2, Ferrari or Red Bull 3rd.

See, I'm always a bit but also a bit I do miss the cars tackling the old Osterreichring (how does one get that umlaut above German vowels on here????), but still love the spectacle of F1 cars tearing through the Alpine countryside on a track that is now - effectively - an Austrian Strohe '80 shot of racing goodness.

If you don't have them on your keyboard, you can substitute them so: Oestereichring (for example) It's the same thing, just written differently.
In fact, all Umlaut letters ( Ö, Ü, Ä ), can be written alternativly with an E after the letter: OE, UA, AE

Interesting to watch Lewis through turn 3, not sure it's his favourite corner and from what I could see he's never mastered it, always locks up into it, wide on the apex and slow out
From what I've seen bits of, Hamilton's approach to this corner would be slow in, fast out. However, the uphill braking makes it tricky to judge the braking point as, you wouldn't want to give too much away in the braking zone to get the car set up for the exit--lot of time to be gained there as it's quite a heavy braking zone.Dr Z said:

Really looking forward to this race.
- Hamilton/Vettel fallout (from press conferences to the track)
- Red Bull's home race (coming after Riccardo's win last time out and Renault engine upgrade)
- Force India pace (Also Perez Vs Ocon Part 3)
- Hulkenberg beating Palmer again

I don't think I can watch this. It'll be 50% grand prix and 50% 'So about that Hamilton/Vettel incident' FFS, its utterly dominating all F1 news and driving me nuts!!!!
Calm down its not every day we get road rage in race and some certain team is allowed to get away with it? I see sparks flying this weekend.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
