This track is pretty mixed. It's both, the front tires will get cooked in s2, where last year Ferrari was building its gap, where Ham crashed in quali and more.

Chance of rain this weekend. Above 50% precip on Fri/Sat. Sprint race weekends always need spicing up

It’s going to be sunny when I go! Not planning on any rain.

Guess with any place in the hills - it’s a now-cast scenario.

Basically it's going to be a weekend that will probably see another team other than Red Bull win given RB track record of sprint races.

Perez may come to and swing the championship back into competition if he can max out points from the sprint race and race.

Sadly if the weekend is as wet as forecast then the carbon neutral efforts to use part solar power to generate power for the team garages may fall short. It will be a good gauge for how much power can be generated from the biofuel generators. Race day shouldn't be an issue weatherwise and should provide good data too.

A wet Friday and Saturday will make this very interesting, especially given the sprint. It will be about nailing the setup for the Sunday so quali/sprint might have some surprises.

Hopefully RB don't have a significant advantage here as with Ferrari's upgrades, the circuit characteristics and rain posing unpredictability we might finally get a return of leclerc vs Max. If the rain does come, it'll put leclerc's wet driving to the test; it has been suspect in the past so it could be interesting

For once I don't want any rain. I feel like there's a better chance of a "race" here in dry conditions.

I remember the last time you wanted to see both Red Bulls start from back in Monaco. There was possibility of only 50% approval from heavens. Now you are being more specific in your ask so heavens don't get confused. :lol:

I have always seen that when people wish for misfortune on the driver they don't like, it falls on the driver they like. Amen. :wink:

If every bit of "wishful thinking" that was uttered on the internet came to fruition, no cars would finish any GP :lol:

there's always rain on the early forecasts for Spielberg, and in the end it turned out to be predominantly dry most years.
