2019 Austrian GP Race

[Greig]

Looking forward to this, should be a good race with the grid a bit mixed up as well. Hopefully a win for us today and a strong recovery from Seb. Hopefully the softs hold up long enough to make the strategy work but I think they will :-)

:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

[TonyRizza]

Softs make me so nervous, hopefully it's a clever move

[arno]

Hamilton said he was almost sure we are on a 2 stop with Charles.
1 stop, 2 stops, it doesn't matter as long Charles will take the win..he has to, Fortuna has to pay back.

[KimiBot]

Even if Charles loses places at the start, he still can take them back, so it looks really good, just no crashes, it is unusual to crash here at the start, it`s wide track, but you never know. And Seb surely will fight front positions today, if just car is all right.

[Ferrarichamp]

does anyone know if the weather is the same as yesterday?

[Hornet]

I hope this is the race we break Merc's winning streak.

[Cevertmyhero]

What I want
1: Leclerc 2: Vettel 3: anyone but ham
What we'll get
1 Ham 2: Bot 3: Ver

Lewis's luck will come to the front again. If he's not up to winning, lady luck hands it to him on a plate. :(

You are real sunshine, aren't you?!

[Dead Eyes]

What I want:

1) Seb 2) Leclerc 3) Giovinazzi

[bondilad]

Starting on the soft tyres would hopefully help us to get off the line a bit easier and control the race. Let the others fight and ruin their tyres..... hopefully.

[Cavallino]

I just don't see a two stop working around here. It's all about tyre wear, which is all F1 is about these days anyway. If the tyres hold up, the Ferrari is fast enough for 1 - 3 easy.

[Ferrarichamp]

we're talking Ferrari vs Mercs but I wouldn't completely discount RB at their home track.

[wisepie]

All I want is a win with either Charles or Seb (little chance there), but HAM even manages to get a 3 place grid penalty turn into a 2 place penalty, so as usual the odds are already stacked against us, just hope and pray that the soft tyres don't fall off a cliff too soon. Forza ragazzi, per sempre.:pray

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

Does anyone have a stream link? Working today :/ i'll watch at lunch

[Dead Eyes]

I don't want Kimi to do well. He did nothing for us and always put himself before the team. Same as Alonso.

Other than him, I wish all those with Italian engines the best.

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

Same today please Vettel :pass :ferrarifl

Right on friend.

[Arcana]

What I want:

1) Seb 2) Leclerc 3) Giovinazzi

Lol... GIO is garbage. He should be kicked and Mick Schumacher brought instead.

[nani_s23]

A win for Charles & good result for vettel. Would be fine for me.

Max is more matured now, so I don’t think he will do anything crazy upfront.

[Cavallino]

A win for Charles & good result for vettel. Would be fine for me.

Max is more matured now, so I don’t think he will do anything crazy upfront.

He still owes me all those points he cost me last year.

[Christopher]

Bit worried about how hot it is got a feeling the softs will overheat and wear out very quickly Charles might have to do a two stopper.

[FerrariF60]

You are real sunshine, aren't you?!

Yeah, no $#&@ who is this ***&$#@ troll, get back to bed ya loser.....

[BRP]

Does anyone have a link to a live stream perhaps?

[Cevertmyhero]

Yeah, no $#&@ who is this ***&$#@ troll, get back to bed ya loser.....

I'm just worried. But I'm sorry and I won't post again this race.

[Arcana]

I am worried more about Max than those tires. I think the tires will work fine for us. But if Leclerc loses position at start to Max it will become problematic.

[Hornet]

If we can get off to a clean start and maintain the lead, Lec can control the pace, and hopefully make the tires work.

Also, we'll have to see how quickly Lewis can clear the cars ahead of him, and what kind of pace he have to challenge us.

[FerrariF60]

I am worried more about Max than those tires. I think the tires will work fine for us. But if Leclerc loses position at start to Max it will become problematic.

even if that will happen, charles will get the slipstream the next straight as well as we're also that MUCH faster on the straights, so he'll get back the position

[Cavallino]

even if that will happen, charles will get the slipstream the next straight as well as we're also that MUCH faster on the straights, so he'll get back the position

that's why i think Seb can come to the front quickly. It all depends on the tyres, how they hold up. As usual.

[stefa]

:ferrarifl

[FerrariF60]

let's hope our drivers will have an awesome trouble free race today.....
i too am a bit worried about our SOFT tire strategy to start the race for both Charles and Seb....but HOPEFULLY Ferrari know something we don't ESPECIALLY having known that come race day it will be EVEN HOTTER......

fingers crossed and FORZA FERRARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KimiBot]

Bit worried about how hot it is got a feeling the softs will overheat and wear out very quickly Charles might have to do a two stopper.

tires has not been problem this year, so I think that we do not have to worry about tires, everything just looks good so far

[KimiBot]

http://strims.world/live/7/f1fanbase.php

[FerrariF60]

tires has not been problem this year, so I think that we do not have to worry about tires, everything just looks good so far

dont' forget that this type of track is hiding our issues that we MIGHT STILL have....slow to medium corners speed disadvantage.....we'll only know if we fixed those issues at a track like Hungary and Singapore.....i'm sure we made some progress, but how much??? we'll only know at a track like Hungary....

[JChan]

in 1 lap BOT will let HM pass easily.

[FerrariF60]

in 1 lap BOT will let HM pass easily.

of course, he's back to BUTTLER mode....

[stefa]

So nervous over here

[Ferrarichamp]

of course, he's back to BUTTLER mode....

:lol

[stefa]

Last Ferrari victory here was in 2003!

[stefa]

Cmon SV!!!

[tifosi1993]

Atleast Max is out of the picture

[tifosi1993]

Seb ahead of Norris

[ferrari1.8t]

Norris is a talent man...good for him!

[Rob]

[Arcana]

Rubbish overtake from Seb...

[stefa]

Rubbish overtake from Seb...

:rotfl

[Arcana]

Shut up!

No thanks.

[ferrari1.8t]

Go SV!!!!!

And the forum said that seb can’t overtake. Heads up, he’s P4! Let’s go boys!

[Christopher]

Great start by Seb he could challenge for the podium now. Maybe that Ferrari 1-2 is still on.

[stefa]

CL is not pulling away..

[FerrariF60]

Rubbish overtake from Seb...

go back to bet you too.....loser

[FerrariF60]

CL is not pulling away..

maybe controlling the pace.....no need to push and destroy tires

[stefa]

maybe controlling the pace.....no need to push and destroy tires

You are right... Just nervous

[FerrariF60]

You are right... Just nervous

i know me too.....like i said, i'be got NO nails left

[Arcana]

go back to bet you too.....loser

Cry for your idol that can barely overtake a second tier car lol

[nani_s23]

Softs pace is holding good

[Ferrarichamp]

first pit stop will be interesting :pray

[tifosi1993]

Gap is 3.276, last lap Charles was 0.3sec faster

[FerrariF60]

Cry for your idol that can barely overtake a second tier car lol

just shut up already.....and log off this forum OR go back to bed

[tifosi1993]

Charles is now pulling away, come on Charles

[ferrari1.8t]

Gap is 3.276, last lap Charles was 0.3sec faster

Sky reporting Merc have tire heating issues. Ferrari doesn’t!

[Rob]

give it a rest for heavens sake.

[stefa]

Both Ferrari's faster on RED tires than Mercedes on YELLOW

[Arcana]

just shut up already.....and log off this forum OR go back to bed

No it's too much fun here with Seb's fanboys.

[FerrariF60]

Both Ferrari's faster on RED tires than Mercedes on YELLOW

so i guess ferrari knew something we DIDN"T

[tifosi1993]

Last lap

Charles 1m09.771

Bot 1m10.030

Ham 1m09.599

Vet 1m09.393

[nani_s23]

Good pace from both Ferrari’s

[FerrariF60]

No it's too much fun here with Seb's fanboys.

i'm NOT a Seb fanboy.....i'm a FERRAI FAN first and foremost....

[ferrari1.8t]

Wow - Leclerc “tell me when I can start pushing”. Already has a 4 second lead! Nice

[stefa]

Lando is a person to watch in the future

[ferrari1.8t]

Lando is a person to watch in the future


Definitely. I’m impressed with him.

[nani_s23]

Lando is a person to watch in the future

Absolutely

[Hornet]

This race is getting exciting for us :pray

[Arcana]

Lando is a person to watch in the future

+1 he's good.

[tifosi1993]

Lando is a person to watch in the future

No doubt. I think Russell is pretty good aswell, too bad his car is absolute rubbish

[nani_s23]

Just 15L completed already there is much excitement

[Arcana]

This race is getting exciting for us :pray

If Seb keeps up with this pace he might get Lewis in the pits.

[Christopher]

Seb's getting into undercut territory

[FerrariF60]

If Seb keeps up with this pace he might get Lewis in the pits.

fingers crossed he does.....

[stefa]

If Seb keeps up with this pace he might get Lewis in the pits.
:thumb

[ferrari1.8t]

No doubt. I think Russell is pretty good aswell, too bad his car is absolute rubbish

If Ocon gets a seat next year the next class of F1 might be alright - Leclerc, Verstappen, Norris, Albon and Russell. Not to shabby...

[nani_s23]

Vettel is told to push hard....!!

[tifosi1993]

They should be aggressive with Vettel, I'd say pit him first and put Mercedes under pressure

[Ferrarichamp]

how many laps will those tyres last?

[nani_s23]

In fact both Ferrari’s are told to push hard

[stefa]

Pit stop is coming....

[Arcana]

1.09.073 for Seb. He's pushing for the undercut.

[nani_s23]

They should be aggressive with Vettel, I'd say pit him first and put Mercedes under pressure

I think there is threat from max

[tifosi1993]

I think there is threat from max

Max is 5 seconds behind Seb, he is not a factor in this race.

[FerrariF60]

Max is 5 seconds behind Seb, he is not a factor in this race.

^this....

[nani_s23]

Max is 5 seconds behind Seb, he is not a factor in this race.

I think max is managing the pace ??

[nani_s23]

Pit stop is coming....

I’m worried ...

[stefa]

So nervous!!!!!!

[Ferrarichamp]

it's a fine balance

[tifosi1993]

Bottas pits, so is Vettel

[nani_s23]

Kimi doing superb job

[stefa]

And again

[Greig]

well done pitwall LOL typical

[Arcana]

6.1 pit stop ??? You must be kidding me...

[Christopher]

Terrible stop

[ferrari1.8t]

Tires weren’t ready...ughhh

[stefa]

How come??!?!? HOW?!!?!?

[nani_s23]

Wow ferrari aren’t ready ..... great

[WS6TransAm01]

What happened there? How where they not ready?

[Hornet]

ARgh

[Ferrarichamp]

So Mercs helping Ham

[Christopher]

Vettel is at risk of being overcut by Max

[stefa]

My God!!!! Arhgggggg :furious

[chinmay]

Terrible. Vettel is now 10 seconds behind Bottas.

[Arcana]

At least Leclerc pitstop was fine... but Seb's pit cost us 3rd place.

[Rob]

think were cover Merc but Merc made late call anyway.

[nani_s23]

Vettel is at risk of being overcut by Max

I’ve said it earlier

[DJTaurus]

Ferrari destroyed vettels chance for podium.

[stefa]

Unbelievable!!! Really!! This is unacceptable!!!

[Ferrarichamp]

I’ve said it earlier

you did.

[KimiBot]

Ferrari destroyed vettels chance for podium.

we`ll see

[Lesky]

Lewis with maximum luck as always.

[tifosi1993]

First time our pit crew made a mistake this year, cut them some slack

[FerrariF60]

Unbelievable!!! Really!! This is unacceptable!!!

i'm jsut speechless......WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!!!
WHAT WERE THE TIRE GUYS DOING?? COFFEE TIME???

[Ferrarichamp]

so how long do Max and Lewis go before they pit...

[DJTaurus]

we`ll see

Instead of 3 he is 7,5 secs behind bottas.

[stefa]

First time our pit crew made a mistake this year, cut them some slack

In this "job" there is no place for even ONE mistake!!!!

[DJTaurus]

It’s truly unacceptable what happened there.

[Hornet]

I think Merc used Bottas to forced Ferrari into early stop, while Lewis is on the optimal strategy

[nani_s23]

Vet need to push like a hell, as he have new sets of Softs.
A 2 stopper

[FerrariF60]

In this "job" there is no place for even ONE mistake!!!!

^THIS.....could not have said it any better

[Arcana]

Lewis with maximum luck as always.

Not about luck. Just Ferrari infinite stupidity.

[ferrari1.8t]

I think they were caught off guard, maybe they were just bluffing Merc and Vettel followed Bottas in? We’ll hear the reasons after the race I guess.

[Ferrarichamp]

I just hope they don't mess up Charles' race.

[tifosi1993]

In this "job" there is no place for even ONE mistake!!!!

There are human after all, they will make mistakes.

[ferrari1.8t]

Wing change for Ham, maybe some luck for Ferrari?

[tifosi1993]

Seb ahead of LEW :clap

[Hornet]

Yes

[ferrari1.8t]

Nice!

[JChan]

How did LH damage his FW?

[DJTaurus]

We need max ahead of lewis!!

[Arcana]

Good. Let's see where Max ends up... hopefully behind Seb but in front of Lewis.

[DJTaurus]

Max vs Ham it should be interesting!!

[stefa]

Max in front of LH!

[stefa]

My God almost 40 laps more!!! :-E

[FerrariF60]

karma finally got HAMSTER......

[DJTaurus]

Vettel 7-8 laps older tyres than max and ham.

[FerrariF60]

My God almost 40 laps more!!! :-E

LET's hope the tires will last.....or all teams will need TWO stops???

[Ferrarichamp]

Bottas is actually having a good race

[nani_s23]

My God almost 40 laps more!!! :-E

I think vettel pushed too much hard. In the final laps he gonna suffer with max & Lewis behind

[tifosi1993]

Medium runners, Sainz and Dani Ric, did their PB last lap, Tyres are holding on nicely

[Ferrarichamp]

halfway point

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc FL. He's controlling this race quite nicely

[JChan]

Is it a Hat Trick if LEC wins?

[nani_s23]

For podium it will be vettel vs max vs Lewis

[KimiBot]

Is it a Hat Trick if LEC wins?

pole, win and fastest lap

[FerrariF60]

Is it a Hat Trick if LEC wins?

what u talking about?? u knwo what a HAT trick means?? or u a newbie??

[Schumiklub]

I think Seb will catch Bottas, hopefully Mercedes will destroy their tyres by the end.

[FerrariF60]

Is it a Hat Trick if LEC wins?

oh, pole, win and FL?? i guess you could call that a HAT trick

[tifosi1993]

For podium it will be vettel vs max vs Lewis

It's going to be Bottas vs Vettel soon

[Christopher]

Max is slowly closing in on Seb

[Arcana]

I think Seb will catch Bottas, hopefully Mercedes will destroy their tyres by the end.

Hopefully... if not for that botched pit stop now he would have fought Bottas for position.

[FerrariF60]

Max is slowly closing in on Seb

i' m sure seb is saving tires or something and could go FASTER if he wanted to ......so just controlling pacee

[nani_s23]

It's going to be Bottas vs Vettel soon

Max will catch vettel at this pace easily

[Schumiklub]

Max is slowly closing in on Seb

I don't think our drivers are really pushing.

[nani_s23]

Bottas seems to be settled for 2nd... vettel need to attack him

[FerrariF60]

Max will catch vettel at this pace easily

nah, Seb is got it under control i'm sure.....tire management.....the red fool dont' have the straight line speed we have

[stefa]

i' m sure seb is saving tires or something and could go FASTER if he wanted to ......so just controlling pacee

:pray

[JChan]

what u talking about?? u knwo what a HAT trick means?? or u a newbie??

as I know HAT TRICK is FP3 POLE and GP win is HAT TRICK

[FerrariF60]

Bottas seems to be settled for 2nd... vettel need to attack him

yeah, but it's hard to do so because Max is behind with FRESHER tires.....so it's a two edge sword....

[Arcana]

Max fastest lap... he's really pushing... I think everyone is on a 2 stopper.

[stefa]

MV is really pushing now

[FerrariF60]

Max fastest lap... he's really pushing... I think everyone is on a 2 stopper.

let him push and destroy his tires.....

[FerrariF60]

MV is really pushing now

let him push and wear his tires so that they'll equalize to Seb's tires....10 laps older

[Ferrarichamp]

nice to see Lewis P5 for a change.

[nani_s23]

If not pit stop delay... vettel would have been ahead of bottas

[KimiBot]

as I know HAT TRICK is FP3 POLE and GP win is HAT TRICK

https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/f1-drivers-with-most-f1-hat-tricks-of-all-time

[FerrariF60]

nice to see Lewis P5 for a change.

yeah, me likey......

nice to see Lewis P5 for a change.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/f1-drivers-with-most-f1-hat-tricks-of-all-time

Got it... Thanks, LEc need the fastest lap but I think its hard to achieve maybe LH will pit in the end for the FL.

[nani_s23]

Vettel can’t hold max for sure

[DJTaurus]

It’s weird why ham cannot push.

[FerrariF60]

It’s weird why ham cannot push.

same as Seb....can't push and keep Max behind......

[Rob]

lovely positioning by Seb

[stefa]

Great job Ferrari pit stop! Really great!

[FerrariF60]

seb the worst driver

[nani_s23]

I’ve told you...!!

[JChan]

MV P3

[tifosi1993]

Seb now pits

[Greig]

Seb pits????

[nani_s23]

seb the worst driver

Thank you....

[FerrariF60]

so seb from bad to worse

[Noquarter]

Max is real deal. Sebastian past it.

[DJTaurus]

Slow pit stop AGAIN!!! For gods shake

[Arcana]

3.6s - still a bad pit stop for Seb.

[JChan]

Why Pit SV?

[FerrariF60]

Max is real deal. Sebastian past it.

mate, i tend to agree with you

[TonyRizza]

Seb is so **** lol

[nani_s23]

so seb from bad to worse

10L older tyres....!! Much more grip for max .... I’ve said it earlier max is a threat.

[FerrariF60]

Why Pit SV?

to get that extra point for fastest lap.....seb is ready for retirement especially now that he's offically married

[Arcana]

Max is real deal. Sebastian past it.

Probably the tires were gone and there was no other solution. He won't catch Max(unless he makes another pit stop) but he should easily trash Lewis.

[stefa]

Like this MV can easy win this one!

[Seb]

You all going to say Leclerc is past it when Max evidently catches him? How can you possibly call yourselves fans when you don’t back our drivers.

[FerrariF60]

Like this MV can easy win this one!

the tiers will even out in 7-8 laps me thinks....

[chinmay]

I see some noobs here expected Seb to hold off Verstappen who had 8 laps new tyres. :lol

[nani_s23]

Like this MV can easy win this one!

It depends on bottas, how much he can hold max.

[Noquarter]

With bettet start Max will win this race easly.

[Greig]

Hopefully Bottas can hold Max for a few laps otherwise.....

[Arcana]

Like I said, Max was going to be a real danger this race. We were lucky that he botched the start so badly, otherwise Leclerc would have been history.

[Greig]

Max losing power????

[Arcana]

Max has issues ? Losing power ?

[nani_s23]

Max loosing power ...!!

[FerrariF60]

I see some noobs here expected Seb to hold off Verstappen who had 8 laps new tyres. :lol

yeah, but donm't we have THE STONGEST MORE POWERFUL ENGINE??? but yeah, fresher tires makes the difference

[stefa]

SV is not that much faster than LH

[Arcana]

Hopefully Bottas can hold Max for a few laps otherwise.....

Nah... he just trashed him...

[Greig]

Bottas really is terrible

[Seb]

Wow being that fast while losing power... Impressive

[nani_s23]

Wt a free pass :rotfl

[Greig]

SV is not that much faster than LH

Lapping cars ain't he

[KimiBot]

Max is real deal.

Give him Mercs or Ferrari and he wins every race

[nani_s23]

Bottas is really terrible

[FerrariF60]

Bottas really is terrible

ha, ha.....some actually thought he's the real deal at teh beginning of hte year

[stefa]

Lapping cars ain't he

I know... My God I am nervous!

[Arcana]

Bottas is really terrible

Merc are quite terrible here...

[Ferrarichamp]

so when is this next pit stop?

[Seb]

SV is not that much faster than LH

He’s already taken 3 seconds off him?

[Arcana]

Vettel took 4 seconds from Lewis since he pitted. He was 8 seconds behind, now he is just 4.

[vcs316]

Loving this. Edge of the seat race with no clue who will ultimately win!

[Christopher]

Think Charles has Max covered

[stefa]

Loving this. Edge of the seat race with no clue who will ultimately win!

Hopefully our guy! :-D

[FerrariF60]

i just wanna know where is ALL THIS PACE coming from red fools????? i know a bit fresher tires, but still

[stefa]

Don't thin SV can take LH

Stand to be corrected :-D

[tifosi1993]

Max, what a driver...

Come on Charles, push hard

[FerrariF60]

Don't thin SV can take LH

Seb is so old news.....let's bring Max over for hre ultimate dream team

[vcs316]

Don't thin SV can take LH

3.6 sec and 10 laps to go! Go seb!!

[FerrariF60]

3.6 sec and 10 laps to go! Go seb!!

i think seb is thinking of honeymoon.....lol

[SilverSpeed]

Where is this speed coming from Max?

9 laps younger tyres?

[nani_s23]

At this pace max will overtake Lec easily

[Seb]

Can’t believe you’re all writing off Seb, ridiculous

[vcs316]

Max, what a driver...

Come on Charles, push hard

i am getting nervous. Max is setting purples after purples.

[Ferrarichamp]

under 10 laps :pray

[nani_s23]

Where is this speed coming from Max?

9 laps younger tyres?

RB has good race pace on hard tyres. Combined with max force

[Greig]

Can Charles hold him once he catches?

[Hornet]

Damn, back markers

[stefa]

9 laps more. If there is some pace left in CL it is time to use it!

[FerrariF60]

Can Charles hold him once he catches?

we'll find out now Greig won't we??? we';ll see how good Charles is at deffending

[chinmay]

Charles will win. By the time Max catches him, his tyres won't be good enough for overtake and Charles is managing pace, he can unleash a lot more tenths if required.

[nani_s23]

Vettel vs ham & max vs Lec coming
