Well LeClerc clearly got the “star” boost the last few laps and almost caught Valdy B

Is Hamilton that much of a better driver?  If they all had his car would he still be the top driver?  Obviously the cars are head and shoulders above the rest.

Yes. He really has no weaknesses. He’s also been at the top so long he knows what to do in just about every situation imaginable.

Hey, it’s Sir Jackie!

Anyone had potential to be quick for one lap but Hamilton has proven:

-makes fewest mistakes

-consistent pace

-delivers when it matters

 

All the other top guys have shown to be worse at 1 or 2 of those categories.  Given the same cars, i'd guess it'd be Hamilton, LeClerc, Ricciardo.  LeClerc has had some incidences, few of which were his fault.  Ricciardo's shown he has Verstappens aggression and passing instincts but without the idiocy, but this year hasn't really outperformed Hulkenberg that much. 

Damn, DVRd the race and accidentally opened some news sites.

I guess not even worth watching other than the first few laps then it’s the same ol’?

Nowadays, I actually enjoy the pre race on the grid reporting more than the actual race :/

Midfield was pretty good today.

Worth watching just to see Sir Jackie messing with Charles's hair. Also, a French brass band playing the English and German anthems is kinda funny.

 

Like seeing McLaren being racy, though the hydraulic issues are disappointing. Guess I need to see what goes on with Ricciardo being off track twice and forcing Norris off when rejoining.

 

Post race flyover? Post race flyover.

Ricciardo got two 5 second penalties.

And yeah that flyover was interesting. Ok, cool, let’s fly some Rafales. Fuck it, send the Falcon out there too.

The best driver in the best, most reliable, car on the best run team. So ignore the #1 spot. He's that good and that car is that good.

But Leclerc would have probably passed Bottas for second if there was another lap and the midfield stuff was pretty good.

I'm actually completely desensitized to mercedes winning. 

First 2 years I was cheering for their breaking red bull dominance, next 2 years was annoyance, and this year honestly I don't even notice that they took every race -- pay more attention to intrateam battles, mid pack drama, etc

All eras of the 2000's compared in terms of domination - by wins

This is yet another reason why F1 needs Alonso back in a competitive seat. I've said for years that he and Lewis are in a separate class, esp when you look at what they're able to do with consistency over a long haul. Alonso is the only guy who can really race with Lewis. Max & Leclerc maybe later with a little more seasoning, and a couple others on their way up.

The Red Bull era looks like what I'd want long-term if we could actually choose. I'm fine with one team being clearly the best (although it's nice that it cycles), but around 50% of race wins should be the limit. Plus there were three other teams tasting victory at least somewhat consistently.

Yeah the hydraulic issue for Norris was disappointing, but Danny really fucked his race there at the end, forcing him off and letting everyone else by. He was holding him off for P7 and ended up P9 after the RIC penalty.

I kinda though Norris should have torpedoed Ric after that move. If Lando stays put, Daniel hits him or stays off the track.

i think mclaren would rather have the points.  they need them. 

Ricciardo's not in a particularly competitive car, but even so, he really seems to have lost something. Just some boneheaded driving errors and bad decisions.  I suppose it's because he's frustrated, but race car drivers have got to keep cooler heads.  It's not unlike Vettel, just trying to do too much and screwing it up.

Anyway, of course I liked the "Ferrari Domination" period, but the "equal cars" era sure was a lot of fun.

Just started practice on the DVR and the Brit commentator is going on and on about how boiling hit it is, and that Europe is in a Saharan heat have, and then they flash up the weather and it's 77F. 

they angle the cars coming into the pit box to get them in slightly faster.  any little one thing to get another couple 100ths somewhere.  who even thinks of that?  it's astounding

77 with 37% humidity

so horrible

but no A/C tho.  heading to the race sunday, supposed to be 90* ambient at the start

Leclerc takes pole in Austria, Hamilton 2nd, although he may get grid penalty for potential blocking of Kimi during Q1. Max 3rd, Bottas 4th, Vettel 10th, did not run in Q3, air pressure issue but he was about 2nd during Q2.

Isn't Ferrari going to start on softs and everyone else on mediums? 

I'm guessing that will help Leclerc clear everyone at the start and build a bit of a gap before going into tire manage mode. Then it will be a case of seeing if his mediums hold out against others soft tires at the end.

Tried to understand the Tyre rules on the F1 website. Anyone have a link in English?
 
In a nutshell... Unless it rains, each driver must use at least two of the three tire choices for the weekend. (I.e., at least one pit stop tire change to a different compound)

The added rule is that you start the race on the exact set of tires that you did your fastest lap in Q2.

Well, sort of. Everyone who makes Q3 will start the race on the same physical set of tires they set their fastest Q2 time with. Everyone who failed to make Q3 can start on any set they have access to.

Ah... Gotcha. Thought it was everyone in Q2 was under that constraint. It's only the Q3 top 10 that are constrained by that?

“I was pointing at the planes.”

Seems like they should be able to promote kyvat into Q2. Kinda like in short track speed skating.

Hamilton was given a 3 spot grid penalty for impeding Kimi in Q1, starts 5th, leclerc and max on the front row

Lewis actually starts P4 with the new way they implement penalties.

Just announced at the Red Bull Ring ... Turn 1 named after Niki Lauda.

Fanbase here is 70% RB/Dutch and 25% Ferrari, and everybody else, lmao.  Those Dutch travel well

Max shit the bed and Hamilton paid for it. Unless Ferrari completely trip over their dicks, Charles should win.

"But Max will have newer tires at the end to come back at him"

 

Next time a 30 lap old tire overtakes a 40 lap old tire in a frontrunner will be the first

 

 

Leclerc channeling his inner kimi on the radio
