Pure Frustration,not more....

Aston Martin is pretty much the only team that Seb could now end up at next season as the other teams have drivers already under contract for 2021. Unless someone has a terrible season and gets fired that is lol.

Shame they are changing from Racing Point Seb would have looked hilarious in their Pink race suits

I'm watching old F1 stuff on YouTube and came across a old interview with Kimi I had totally forgot about. Can't believe he says I was having a shit

Seb is fucked lol

Racing Point is clear that there is "no space" at its Formula 1 team for Sebastian Vettel next year, despite the German continuing to be linked with the squad.

Hamilton will do a “dry dance” for Saturday to avoid sixth-place start.

Lewis Hamilton is concerned he will be locked in to starting sixth on the grid for Sunday’s Styrian Grand Prix if heavy rain prevents any track running from taking place tomorrow.

Very heavy rain is forecast for the Red Bull Ring on Saturday. Ahead of second practice today some teams acknowledged the possibility tomorrow’s running could be disrupted and second practice times would be used to form the grid.
If that happens Hamilton would line up sixth on the grid, one place lower than he was for last week’s Austrian Grand Prix following a three-place grid penalty.

“If we have to start [there], that would definitely suck if we didn’t get to qualify,” he said. “[Second practice] wasn’t great. I’d be starting further back than I was even last week.

“So it would definitely make it challenging. I’ll try to do the ‘dry dance’, if there’s a dry dance.”

Team mate Valtteri Bottas was second-fastest in this afternoon’s practice session, less than five-hundredths of a second behind Max Verstappen. Hamilton said he hadn’t been entirely happy with his car.

“It felt relatively normal but it was quite far off. So there’s more work that needs to go on in the background to try and figure out why.

“I was feeling good in practice one and the start of [second practice] felt pretty good. Then it started to drop off. Others out there are obviously quick and Valtteri’s obviously got good pace so hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.”

Both Mercedes drivers were warned during last week’s race to use the kerbs as little as possible to minimise the stress on their cars. The team was concerned about an electrical noise problem which is aggravated by vibrations and can cause gearbox failures.

Asked whether the team have addressed the problem so that he can use the kerbs more aggressively this weekend, Hamilton said: “Not that I know of. I think you still have to be careful.

“You can still damage the car quite badly over the kerbs. Whether or not it’s going to be as harsh as it was on Sunday we’ll find out.”

Free Practice 3 is cancelled.

Rain is maybe lighter or stops around 13:00 PM Austrian Time.

 

[Alexander1970]

Rains has stopped,Qualifying at 15:00h is possible,but
the Problem is next Rain Front is predicted to 15:30h.

So actual no Decision.

 

[Alexander1970]

Interesting Detail from Alexander Wurz (Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA):

Due the actual Corona Evolution in the East and Restrictions in Hungary,the Grand Prix on next Sunday is not 100 Percent safe.
And as "Backup" it is again Spielberg.

 

[Alexander1970]

Qualifying will start at 15:46h Austrian Time.

Awesome Qualiying,no Time for "Dilly Dally" pure Racing !! Awesome !!!

As much as I don't like him he gets treated unfairly. His penalties are ridiculous what next a grid penalty for overtaking in the que at the hotel for breakfast
