Thread: Austrian goat

In Austria, they had major aero upgrades on ALO's car, including a new front nose. ALO was quoted as saying that they were working very well and definitely improved downforce on the car, an issue sofar.
ALO did have a lightning start and moved from 19-14 in two corners, and more than likely would have snagged RAI as well. Too bad we didn't see him finish the race.
Lets see what happens prior the summer break and in the second half of the season.Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent

At least he was saved the embarrassment of having to save fuel form lap 10 and being overtaken left and right by everybody. I have lost hope for that engine. It seems to be really bad. How can it be so slow and and so unreliable at the same time? Honda failed miserably.Again!

Could Lewis be the goat here ?
He could have sailed off into the distance just like Nico did , by being ahead at the first corner .
But , maybe that was the software ?
And , he might have mounted a challenge near the end had he not crossed the line , giving Nico a cheap victory after the drive-through .
Now that's two cheap ones in a row .
One for sure goof and another likely one makes him the goat , being he was the only other guy that could challenge for the win .
Nico needs to have a quiet word , to tell Lewis to sharpen up , otherwise his trophy for winning the WDC at the end of the year will seem somewhat tarnished by having had Lewis lose it , instead of Nico winning it .

Does anyone know if Kimi has been penalised for the accident on lap 1?
Ha'wey Hamilton, bring the WDC crown home and the beers are on me :up:

No further action, but check out this amateur video of the crash. If anyone tagged RAI (and nobody did!), it was the RED BULL!

Well done to Maldonardo. It takes a special kind of talent to almost crash on a straight, from your own driving.
Speaking of which. People hanging it on Kimi cos he's an easy target atm.
I'd say Mclaren's time with Peugeot was a fair bit better, than what they're currently experiencing.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
