Grand Prix thread 2017 Austrian GP Chat and Predictions

Haven't we been told these last couple of weeks that the car in front has the right to pick the piece of track, the speed, the angle etc. Now to me it looks like Rosberg in the picture was the car in front so surly he has the right to put the car where he wants too? Unless Hamilton has different rules?

I've gone for Vettel for this race, but I think I've chosen too quickly, on second thoughts I would like to change it to Hamilton, as I think Vettel will need to be on his best behaviour here.

Can a Mod change my vote from Vettel to Hamilton.

 

I'll keep a note of it mate.

 

Doesn't look like he's in front to me.

 

still has more room than between 8&9 in Azer. I don't see what Rosberg did here that Hamilton hasn't done to him, the only difference is Rosberg went off track to avoid the collision.

 

Well thankfully we'll stand a chance of getting a race now we know Vettel is a free man.

 

IMO this one is going to be a case of old school racing and i HOPE some sensible stewards have been appointed thet won't jump when vettel and hamilton rub wheels.

Frankly if vettel is coming trhough and hamilton closes the door I don't want to see either man punished for racing.

I am going to assume that they will qualify 1/2 and then after that hamilton will have the ferrari close in at some point during race if nothing happens at the start.

If this occurs and the two go into a corner the WORST thing possible for f1 is if some asshole with a political agenda decides a bit of tyre rubbing = a penalty.

Hamilton is big enough and ugly enough to win on his own and vettel is too. Let them at it.. we will all know when a real dangerous move occurs


Its the same as the verstappen rule. thats again fq gone mad. either hes double moving or he is not. either he's wrong or not. not oh.. well seeing you complained and have power we will ban this for a little bit but then vanish it asap so you are happy but max is then free to race after the WDC is decided.

 

I haven't looked forward to a fight like this since Brazil 2012.

 

I really hope they go st it and don't resort to kiddie games.

 

Funny enough, seems like part of Vettel's punishment is that he will have sessions with kids....giving pep talks... but, what is he going to tell them? After making mistakes, instead of being a man and owning up, you simply go up to the other person and whack him across the head... that's acceptable... Forget about discipline, rules and regulations? Maybe they should have recommended anger management classes.... lol that's funny eh.

 

Press conference today 14:00 (BST). Including Magnussen, Seb and Lewis. Sky Sports F1. One to watch.

 

Anything juicy in it?

 

Thanks, EMSC.

I do kinda wish they were at each other though.

 

Looks like Mclaren have gone from Palmer to Hulk

 

Was expected in Austria. Button was running 2nd last time out here. Normal service will be resumed in Silverstone.

 

lol. that's a big jump.

Williams seem to have done the opposite.

 

Really surprised as they have done okay here in the past.

 

same, there's a few surprises in there. I'd call this a power track, so to see the McLarens up there and the RBR quite close is a bit of a surprise, they must be good though S2.

 

Hamilton facing 5 place grid penalty for unauthorised gearbox change - and they let Vettel get away with thumping into his car in Baku

 

Frustrating, isn't it?
