Official 2020 Austrian & Styrian Grand Prix Thread *Spoilers

Well there goes any idea that Ferrari were over playing their problems.

[Gweeds]

Ferrari having a shocker.

Vettel unsurprisingly looking like he’s not remotely interested in being there.

Norris

[Dr Z]

Oh Ferrari, you never fail to disappoint.

[Gary C]

Too much downforce on that Ferrari to compensate for the aero problems of the car. It was only 19th fastest on the straights !!!!

[Derek Smith]

Ferrari said they'd struggle so that's a positive for them; they were spot on.

So basically this year's Ferrari is slower than their 2019 car.....

What do they spend/waste all that massive budget on?

Coffee? Pasta? Long lunch breaks?

Shambles.

Redesigned car on its way apparently.

[Schermerhorn]

Good luck for the future Charles LeClrec.

It might be my eyes but Ocon’s number is 31 which it looks like on the side of the car but on the nose I’m sure it says 37?

Anyone else notice this?

I wonder if he has a performance get-out clause in his contract.

Cue Vettle claiming he knew the car was crap and wanted to leave.

[Gary C]

Bet the teams are looking forward to not having to packup at the end of this race.....

If the season stays this way, 8 races, they've wasted 25% of the season already.

That's the equivalent to 5 races going by previous seasons.

And if the redesigned car is still shockingly poor and the development is frozen for the 2021 season they have wasted 2 years.

Classic Ferrari!

I did have a look on the TV guide and could only find quali highlights on the Sunday. Maybe it's later in the week, but I didn't get that dar through.

Thanks though

Race repeats:
Sunday 21.05
Monday 18.00

I'll let you find the rest of the week!

[The Vambo]

Looks like this season might test the old 'F1 will die without Ferrari' guff.

[kambites]

There goes the qualifying lap record.

And there's the real gap between Mercedes and the front of the new "mid-field".

[Second Best]

I know there’s a bit of time left but McLaren are looking impressive.

[The Vambo]

The turn in on that Merc

Looks a bit more spread out, isn't it? Interested to see how it looks after every one gets their 2nd runs in.

Can Sainz change his mind?
