OK sprint race. The battles between Charles & Carlos and Lewis & Mick were pretty good.

Here we go
McClelland Stave Aged 35 in a Castello Magnum IPCPR 2011 (01/20). This will be a good long smoke for a good long Austrian Grand Prix race!

Cripes that fire (Carlos Sainz) started to look worrisome pretty quick! Glad to see him get out when he had to. It looked like the first fella to arrive didn't seem to have any sense of urgency.

Quite an exciting race.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Ok race. Glad to see Charles win and narrow the gap at the top to Max.

Davidoff Yamasa for today’s French Grand Prix.

Shame Charles went off as it was shaping up to be an interesting battle.

Careless mistake,but he owned it.

Careless mistake,but he owned it.

It was very refreshing to hear him own up to the mistake and grow from it.

Careless mistake,but he owned it.

Yeah, he did, but I wonder if he owned it for the team. I saw some metrics that suggest it is yet again the throttle. I don't know.

Yeah, he did, but I wonder if he owned it for the team. I saw some metrics that suggest it is yet again the throttle. I don't know. He had throttle and braking at the same time. Could that be him? Maybe, but could also be Ferrari's inability to have a proper working gas pedal, like last week.

They were certainly talking about throttle problems during the race. I happened to be on Leclerc's radio feed for a while.

I thought the race was good. The new rules make for better racing

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, some of the changes are good ones. For myself I was glad to see Mercedes- really the drivers- doing ok.
Poor Charles L!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Another opening, another show! Practice 1 is a bit early tomorrow, but thank heavens for recording devices and streaming.

 

[Flatfish]

Qualifying results suggest it could be an interesting race.
Can Russell hold position?
Will Ferrari mess up in a new and original way?
Never rule out Hamilton.
Verstappen will be on a charge.
And go Alpine (I am a fan).

 

[jpmcwjr]

Agree. Can't wait!

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Totally agree, so glad to see George get the pole?. And outta nowhere, too.

 

[trudger]

¡ Fernando !

I am very surprised at the line up as of lap 62. Can’t believe Verstappen and Hamilton have managed to go one and two. Experience!
