Ric is washed unfortunately. But him and Bottas would be a very entertaining combo at least from a social media standpoint

OK you guys, last day. Predictions for the Austrian GP will be locked out tonight! Update your predictions!

You know, if you want to. It's optional, your previously saved list will carry forward if you want.

The Austrian GP always seems to be a banger. Can't wait for Sunday morning.

Has anyone ever been to the track? It's in a beautiful part of Europe.

Didn't go to the track since I was traveling during October, but Austria / southern Germany was beautiful with the fall leaves and foggy mornings. The Mercedes / Porsche / BMW museums were awesome as well.

I would love to go there based on the scenery around the track alone.

It's on my list of places to see a race. I've hiked a good bit in the Austrian Alps, and it's one of those places you don't believe is real.

Y'all remember the guys in covid who watched it from way up one of the mountains when they weren't letting people go to races?

It was always pretty high on my list of international races I wanted to attend but someone I know went a couple years ago and it quickly shot up to my #1 option. The pics around the area were breathtaking, tickets were cheap, I believe he paid $1800 for starting straight grandstands facing the pits and got pit walk passes and a meet and greet with Hulkenberg. Did some Porsche driving experience through the mountains as well. By all accounts it seems beautiful and affordable, I’d love to attend.

GP has been sounding like Horner on the radio here recently to me. Had me wondering at times if Horner was coaching him on some stuff.

A1 Ring. The Osterreichring was obviously the longer, cooler version of the track. I liked driving it in racing sims in 1970's F1 cars.

designer Hermann Tilke converted the Osterreichring into a shorter track called the A1-Ring. In 2004, Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz bought the circuit in his native land and gave it the moniker we know today. Red Bull Ring


Good Athletic article about the track LINK

Looks like the times are a little more spread out here than at some other recent tracks. Yuk is 0.7s behind (and 0.4s behind Max) and still in the Top 10!

My guess is the high-speed infield corners (and maybe the last two corners) are spreading the field out a bit. Silverstone should be similar with Copse, Maggots-Becketts, and maybe Stowe.

Saw SkySports post that Toto has confirmed that Mercedes is interested in signing Max...

If that takes place, who gets the boot, Goorge or Kimi?


IMO, Max should have jumped to Mercedes last year after the clusterfrick with Sergio.

Oh I think George for sure. He is driving at a high level this year, and he won't accept being a #2 driver to Max. It would not be a smooth partnership at all. While Kimi was not the most impressive rookie in the first half of the season (that would be Hadjar), he has stepped up recently so I think the confidence in him is still high. Kimi will show the appropriate amount of deference to Max and they would get along just fine, at least until Kimi gets to the point where he can challenge Max in qualy.

Also the internal "scandal" with the accusations of abusive behavior, plus the loss of Newey, the upcoming loss of Honda, etc. I agree with you, he should have joined Mercedes this year.

Drives Max's price up and causes him no issues if George is in on the idea.

I just can't picture Max in anything but RB.
