Rain should make the sprint entertaining today at least.
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Sprint qualifying time, pointless waste of time.
Track temp is cold 69f getting temp in tyres will be hard
Lewis with what looks like scrub softs
Sainz thinks he has a brake problem
Well I would, Iam off it’s raining, still love watching so yeah I will watch.Yet you're still watching it
I'm only taking the piss
, first bit of action I've managed to watch live in a while. Hoping these interchangeable conditions mix up the grid a bit for later on.I know I said pointless, but can see why they have done it, racing is better than FP, good for the crowd there.I'm only taking the piss
Just think with the FIA being tough on budgets, this is just unnecessary.
Sainz out with 1.30 seconds , will find it tough to get though
Some effort from Sainz there
Sainz with a cracking lap
Lewis WTF
Fair play to Sainz there. Hamilton fudged up.
Agreed
I've not seen any long run times from FP1, but do Ferrari have actual pace in that car or are the upgrades just helping the speed on one lap?
They’re competitive on one lap. But hard to know on race pace with only one practice session. Sprint will give a good indication.
That was fun to watch.

Lewis does not look that bothered TBH and he said the sprint does not matter, but there is points on offer.
Russell with a problem, not able to go out.
Sprintraces are like Nationś league football. Yes it is better dan free practices but that's really just it.
Exactly , can see why Lewis is not bothered about it.
Max is obviously and HAAS doing OK
Drivers out in SQ2
Here are the five drivers we've lost
Alex Albon
Pierre Gasly
Yuki Tsunoda
Nyck de Vries
George Russell

That Red Bull under Verstappen is a joke, half a second ahead of the rest
Red bull one two. Yawn
Behind them could be interesting

Austrian GP Sprint Shootout Result
Norris really should try and push for a Red Bull or Ferrari seat.
Ferrari should first sort their shit out. Today again with Sainz who had to correct an engineer. Sometimes I feel the requirement to work for Ferrari is not having a functioning brain.
There will be more safety cars than laps today in this F2 race.
Verschoor is the Spurs of F2.

Was watching GT4 at SPA when this was mentioned. This morning 18 year old Dilano Vant Hoff died in a accident eerily similar to the f2 accident a couple of years ago. Poor family

That is a dreadful crash in dreadful conditions at Spa Why was the race even allowed to happen in that rain, OK Iam all for racing in the rain, but there must be a point where is becomes too dangerous, for me it had past that point.
All was well until another crashed into him because the other driver couldn't see a fecking thing because the entire pacific ocean was in front of him. Horrible decision once again by FIA. Of course FIA will now be under investigation by FIA so feck all will change.
