2018 Austrian GP - Practices and Qualifying

LOL at FIA if Seb gets a penalty. It was only last race when around 5 cars impeded Vettel's 2nd run in Q2 yet not even a single investigation was conducted...

[Otakukim]

did he really impede Sainz?

There are no replays. Some say its penalty worthy

I know. It would be unfair if they give him the penalty

[da_one]

We will not get pole if we continue shooting ourselves in the foot. Come on Seb!

[DJTaurus]

Sainth was not a fast lap. No reason to give a penalty.

[coshida]

HAM blocked Grosjean last year in silverstone and he didn´t get any penalty.

[nani_s23]

Ferrari loosing a lot in final sector

Gangsta Boy (Ham) and Golden Boy (Max) are infallible in the eyes of the stewards.

Ok. Thats good. Cant find replays

[stefa]

Not good

[FerrariF60]

i knew we had no chance at getting pole.....but still was hoping....oh well

[tifosi1993]

At least its Bottas on pole

[stefa]

Kimi half a second?!!?!?

[mwk360]

So about 0.4s behind in quali to mercs, yikes... hopefully silverstone aero updates can get us atleast a bit closer

[coshida]

Sector 3 hurts ferrari so much

[Hornet]

At least it is Bottas in P1

[nani_s23]

I’m starting to believe ferrari lost quali advantage for sure..!! I think that battery issue did hurt ferrari

[zike]

Not good

Last season is repeating itself, we are losing in development race again, Merc will probably win in Silverstone and will have 25+ points lead

[FerrariF60]

Sector 3 hurts ferrari so much

yup.....that's an AERO part of circuit.....obviouslty our aero is NOT that good....

[mwk360]

Sad thing is mercs going to get a chance to box and block seb again like in Paul Ricard

[Ferrarichamp]

Bottas is clearly fast on this track.

Probably

[tifosi1993]

Kimi half a second?!!?!?

I think his performance was reasonable today (Well, compared to his previous qualifying efforts)

[KimiBot]

LOL P3 P4

[mwk360]

definitely, obviously they'l not say it did, but since the monitoring we are not so strong in quali,only 0.3~ with quali mode advantage today . from Q2 to Q3

[zike]

yup.....that's an AERO part of circuit.....obviouslty our aero is NOT that good....

It was never good, just take a look at Barca people was saying it was the tyres but it was the aero to

[FerrariSteve]

Bottas will immediately hand 1st place to golden boy on lap 1, Hoping Ferrari get a flying start and put pressure on them.

[da_one]

Not quite sure what to expect in the race. Although we will start with the faster tires, we keep on losing a lot of time in S3. Hopefully Seb can get a clean start and be ahead of Lewis after the first lap. It's ok if Bottas wins as long as Seb finishes ahead of Lewis.

Having said that, it seems the upgrades of the Mercs since France are giving them the edge so far. We need to close the gap ASAP if we want to stay close with Mercedes. We hope the team in Maranello responds to the challenge!

You did wake up then
