We’re in Austria, a short, tight, fun circuit. Note it’s a Sprint weekend to all usual timings have gone to cock.
With such a short circuit, and McLaren very close to RB now, it should be a very close qualifying and race. Max has showed just how good he is recently, and I expect him to win again here, but not by much.
Poll is for the win, Alonso removed due to 2024 performance.

Race weekends coming think and fast now! Thanks PiaP as always for the race threads.
Well this is a faster circuit than Barcelona, and the read litmus test of how the European season is likely to play out. There’s still a niggling feeling that MV is managing his pace out front, at least during the race, and he still has the advantage when he needs it.
Shame about the Sprint b
ks though.

RB were not so bad on kerbs at Barcelona, so seemingly circuit specific perhaps. Qualifying Max may lose out, but I expect the RB to be dialled in to race strengths and a close race on a track that is strong for McLaren.
No mention of a waf....oops, almost!
Voted for Norris. Hopefully!!

Very difficult to call but I think Verstappen will edge it. It'll be interesting to see where Ferrari are after two lackluster weekends and whether Mercedes can continue their progress towards the front or the last two races were anomalies.

Are grid penalties going to start to be an issue for Max given his consumption of parts? Particularly using all his engine allocation this early on.

They already said they expect to take one - I reckon possibly at Singapore so point loss is minimised or at Spa if they still think they will dominate. https://www.f1-fansite.com/2024-f1-season/2024-use...
