Have always liked this track, nothing fancy, but usually a good race with lots of action.

BTW 3 place grid penalty for Hamilton. Let's see what he can do with that tomorrow.

Something different, yay!

I would love to see LeClerc get his first win.

We might know if that will happen at the first corner.

First Lap should be more exciting than the last few seasons of racing

So the attorneys/rules-makers are pretty much determining the F1 races then :rolleyes: Hamilton gets a 3-place grid drop. But only moves 2 spots down because Magnussen who was P5 took a 5-place penalty that was handed out before Ham's. And then there's penalties for Hulkenberg, Russell, Albon, and Sainz. Sainz originally ahead of Albon, but then another rule interpretation swapped those positions. I'm probably missing a few more.

It was a lot simpler when grid positions were determined by lap times ...

It makes me chuckle when some poor sop accumulates something ridiculous, like 25 grid place penalties for one race. Like the guy should be starting his race from the hotel parking lot.

Maybe not that far-fetched. The FIA were busy handing out more penalties overnight and now Russell will start from the <s>hotel parking lot</s> pit lane. :rolleyes: His crime? Changed a damaged front wing.

F1 has turned from the world class racing series it once was to a clown show :( Way too many rules that are choking any chance of competitve racing . Liberty Media has their hands full to turn this turd around and make it exciting for the fans/sponsors/manufacturers/race promoters . Will I watch today's Austria GP ? Yep ........... will I be disappointed with the " racing " ? Probably :mad: But there's always hope that some racing will take place .

Today's Weather Tech race from Watkins Glen will be a more enjoyable race to watch at least for me . Happy 4th of July everyone stay safe :D

All you idiots who aren't watching just missed one hell of a race......

Great racing!

Awesome race! Just hope the stewards don’t screw it up again.

God me too. Tom Kristenson is one of them so hopefully some common sense will prevail. That was a clean and fantastic pass.

fantastic semi-clean move by max
not the best defense by leC
he should have covered his inside line

DRS detection zone before the corner but given at exit on next strait
really helped max drive away from leC on dirty tyres

really an epic drive by max after the blown start
and shows honda has got the motor RIGHT this year FINALLY

Stewards decision: No further action. Verstappen keeps Austria win!

as per atlas f-1 post

I love how the pinnacle of racing celebrates bumper cars. Its Max at the Red Bull Ring, of course he won’t get a penalty.

Really exciting race, at last.
Max had the momentum and pace going into those last few laps.
I wish he had left a little room in the pass. But it was last laps and for the lead.
Max made some great moves making his way up thru the front runners.

So glad the stewards didn't call a foul on that pass.

I realy enjoyed seeing the close racing throughout the field. Good coverage!

Cool track. Great seeing some other cars at the front!

I could get reinterested in F1, if this sort of racing continued.

Cheers Richard

My guess is if someone gets booted off the track during a pass next race there’s a penalty.

The stewards received a note from Lord Helmet "...an eye for an eye" and then, what do you know, Max's pass was ruled to be a racing incident.

Seems the Mercs didn't like the heat...
