Not606 2016 Austrian Grand Prix Chat and Predictions​

 

I've voted for Hamilton as he is due a race win.

 

.

 

I'm going to vote the same as I have every race this season, Lewis Hamilton, that is what me head is telling....

 

Very tempted to go for Perez.

 

tempted to go for RBR, as much as it's a power circuit S2 is massively dependent on aero

 

Interesting, but could change a lot by the weekend.

 

Could/should see the lap record broken here, given the rapid development of the engine and the new Ultra Soft Tyres, think they could be clock at time in the 1:06s
If Hamilton and Rosberg have a trouble free Quali, they'll start from the front, don't know which order... But should be close between the likes of Ferrari, RBR, Williams and FI.. S2 isn't long and tricky enough for any gains there to be outweigh the gains on the 3 long straights..
Don't know who's gonna win to be honest, Rosberg goes very well here, Hamilton has the car to do well, but the Ferrari should be decent as well as the other Merc powered cars..

 

Rolling the dice on Ricciardo... Unless Bando's Bhaji Vote Gerrymandering Method is still in place.... then I just voted for Rosberg.

Perhaps stay on the track? It's not like they don't give you a car widths leeway anyway.

 

Drivers have been conditioned to go outside of the track limits. Finally they have a reason not to!

Could be interesting if it rains on Sunday. The pits looks hard to get into at any sort of speed in the wet on wrong tyres. With the entry line going so far back we may have lots going around again. May be quicker to take a penalty and re-cross line to he honest.

It's looking Rosbergy to me.

 

From the. BBC live updates on 2nd practice - a couple of snippets made me chuckle...

 

Glad I went for Rosberg! The Force India looked very awkward to drive today.

Maybe instead of these car damaging curbs they should put a strip of low grip surface outside the corner, that way if you go wide you go really wide/spin, but no damage. Not an option everywhere, but might work better where there is sufficient run off.
