Important practise day, Friday and Sunday (race), are going to be in rainy conditions. Quali might be in dry. Atleast the red cars tires can't melt this time...
I thought alcohol adverts were supposed to be gone in European races. Lec has Estella on his car and helmet.
In France alcohol ads are banned, don't know about Austria. The Tobacco ban is EU I think in any case the Mission Winnow is off the Ferraris for all EU races. What happend to the Maccas...what's their name the orange cars: Macarenas?;-) Are they even in Austria? Funny how the grid shuffles depending on track layout.
then blamed the tire warmer, to add insult to injury. interesting session…was going to be a lottery even without rain. Rain will make things very unpredictable.
FP2 was one of those sessions that almost anybody could put in a top time as the track rubbers in. We'll see tomorrow just how much relevance it has . . . . especially if it rains.
Turn 3 is the weakness for Mercedes. The pace of both RedBull and Mercedes appears even overall. Mistakes and tires = the difference.
Instead of banning superfast pitstops, perhaps the FIA should ban inept people from leaving the pitlane quickly.
hard to say because there was so much traffic. Both Ham and Max went off there while trying to get around someone on an out lap. I dont think we saw too much from anyone this session. It’s all pretty close. Rain will definitely spice things up though.
Spin the Bottles . It’s Pirro so nothing another AMG ‘loaner’ in the garage won’t take of. No penalty.
