2023 Austrian Grand Prix - Spielberg, June 30 - July 02

Am I correct in thinking that on a Sprint weekend no setup changes can be made after qualifying on Friday? It is what I thought was the case but have just read were Toto states "We had a very unlucky shootout session with Lewis in P18 and George in P15, although both drivers said the car felt better today with the setup changes that happened overnight." ?

You can still change a handful of things but nothing really major.

Front wing adjustment and tyre pressures is about all that is allowed (and this remains so in the race); back in the good old days before the Parc Ferme regulations were introduced you would see teams ripping gurney flaps from rear wings either to change car balance or in reaction to weather changes.

Seems chance of rain is higher now for the race than was predicted when I checked yesterday

Looks like 40%

Still don't understand why Verstappen wasn't penalized vs Hamilton

Enjoy the sunday @chrisc

Check the onboards and times of Lewis, he was not on a push lap.

What stood out today was how close the cars are. A williams, a Haas, a mclaren, an alpine, an Alfa romeo were not walk overs for top cars like Ferrari and Mercedes.

Isn't this primarily because DRS was disabled?

I believe it's because of wet track.

Occasional raindrops at the circuit according to van Haren. Cloud cover looks ominous but we'll see how it is in a couple of hours



Now Fabrega says it begins to rain in the paddock. Spoken to someone at the track and it's apparently a "light drizzle" currently

Kmag and de Vries start from pitlane due to changed components. In case of Nyck it is changed rear wing spec

[chrisc90]

No sign of any further rain

[AR3-GP]

I expect Leclerc to get the lead into T1.

I expect Leclerc to get the lead into T1.

I expect Verstappen to regain the lead into T3.

Psst, Gordon Ramsey has secretly got a part time job at sky sports, pass it on.

Only AMR have 2 sets of hards

Only AMR have 2 sets of hards

Could be good for them if that means more management needed from the others if they run M-H-M

I think if it was hotter m-h-h might be preferable but the medium seems to get up to temperature very nicely here and the temps aren't too high so I think m-h-m is what I'd prefer

Seems alonso might've started on hards
