    2021 Race 9 - Austrian Grand Prix

    Maybe rain will surprise us since they missed the forecast last week. Has anybody heard what they are doing differently for the double-header?

    A wet race would be nice. We can only hope.

    And I'm betting some setups and equipment changes will be present across the grid. Having a double header doesn't mean the same outcome. Silverstone last year showed us what can happen in a short period of time.

    These are not headline times. Considering pole last weekend was 1.03.841 by Verstappen. Mercedes would be back in their usual positions behind Verstappen on Saturday.

    Lewis will get pole. Anyone fancy a wager... the loser has to shave his head?

    Different weekend, different weather, different tires.

    Considering pole last weekend was 1.03.841 by Verstappen. Mercedes would be back in their usual positions behind Verstappen on Saturday.
    Meh, the weaxf gods know you schtick and they are not amused.

    In your honor they will allow Hamilton to get pole (The data already shows Mercedes is quicker this weekend), Bottas will be second. Bottas on the start will take out Hamilton and it will be Vertstappen, Perez and Norris 1-2-3.

    GIO

    Russel makes it through ahead of Ferrari!

    Vettel will likely get a penalty
