F1 Austria 2021 Race HighLights

Situado a 190km de Viena, en Spielberg, en las montañas de Estiria, el actual Red Bull Ring fué fundado como el Osterreichring, y fue sede del primer Gran Premio de Austria en 1970.

A través de los años, el circuito ha pasado de ser un trazado de once curvas y 5,9 kilómetros , desde 1970 a 1987, a su versión actual de 4,3 kilometros y nueve curvas, una configuración que ha mantenido desde su segunda etapa en la F1, desde el año 1997 al año 2003, cuando respondia al nombre de  A1 Ring.

Es uno de los pocos circuitos del calendario que no ha sido diseñado por Hermann Tilke, aunque este se inspirara cláramente en la primera curva del A1Ring para "transplantarla" al circuito Tejano de COTA.

En 2011, el fabricante austriaco de bebidas energéticas Red Bull, propietario también de las escuderías de Fórmula Uno, Red Bull y Toro Rosso, añadió el circuito a su cartera automovilistica cuando compró, reconstruyó y puso en marcha las instalaciones, siendo el pasado año 2014 el primero de su tercera etapa en la Fórmula Uno.

El Red Bull Ring mantiene  las catarcterísticas del A1Ring, y aunque no es precísamente de complejo trazado, es todo un reto, ya que los abruptos cambios de pendiente, las tres rectas seguidas, rematada cada una de ellas con una curva lenta, y la revirada sección central de media/alta velocidad, lo convirte en un híbrido entre Monza y Montreal, pero a los nada desdeñables 700 metros de altura media.

Debido a la excepcionalidad de la pandemia mundial de covid-19, desde 2020 es uno de los tres circuitos que repite carrera en un mismo año, un G.P con denominación G.P. de Estiria y el otro con denominación G.P. de Austria.

Previas de algunos de los equipos:

Austrian GP: Preview - Haas

Haas F1 Team is heading straight from Silverstone to Spielberg for Round 11 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.

Austria first joined Formula 1's calendar in 1964, at Zeltweg Airport, but from 1970 it moved to the newly-constructed Österreichring in the undulating landscape above the village of Spielberg. It featured until 1987 before re-appearing in truncated form, as the A1 Ring, from 1997 through 2003. Austria's grand prix again dropped off the schedule for over a decade, with the circuit falling into an unusable state, but after heavy funding from Red Bull it was extensively renovated - with the layout retained - and Austria's Formula 1 event was revived in 2014.

Austria held the opening two rounds of the 2020 season, as Formula 1 grappled with the early stages of the pandemic, and once more in 2021 Spielberg stepped in to fill the void with back-to-back events. Now, after four races in two years, Austria is back to its conventional national grand prix - though there will once more be two opportunities to do battle. That's because F1 Sprint will return for its second of three outings this season, marking the first time the format has been run at Spielberg.

Spielberg evokes positive memories for Haas F1 Team, with a best-ever double finish of fourth and fifth achieved at the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix. That result included Kevin Magnussen, who has taken part in seven grands prix in Austria, while Mick Schumacher is preparing for his third Formula 1 round in Austria following his participation in 2021's double-header.

Haas F1 Team enters the Austrian Grand Prix eighth in the Constructors' Championship after a double-points finish last time out in Britain.

Three years on since Haas F1 Team's last double-points score at the German Grand Prix in 2019 - was the British Grand Prix result perhaps a little unexpected given the team's grid positioning or was it simply further evidence of the team being able to capitalize on opportunities when they present themselves?

Guenther Steiner: "It was a good surprise to finish with two cars in the top-ten, but we know that the car is able to do it, and the team is able to do it, it's just that the last five races were very difficult. When the opportunity arose this time with the red flag, and we were shifted up a few positions forward, we were not given anything for free. The car was strong, the drivers were strong, so we just capitalized on it and pushed forward. I think it was deserved after quite a few races which were frustrating."

Mick Schumacher battled all the way to the checkered flag to score an eighth-place finish and his maiden points at Silverstone. He was pushing Max Verstappen on the final lap - did you feel P7 was there for the taking potentially or were you happy to see a solid P8 banked?

GS: "I'm pretty happy with a solid P8 and I'm not upset that we didn't achieve seventh. Mick fought for it, but he fought one of the best, if not the best for that position. In the end he brought home P8 and his first points, which is very good."

While the upgrade package for the VF-22 is still a couple of races away, how satisfying was it to see both cars in the points mid-way through the season with effectively the same technical package the team first tested in Spain and Bahrain in pre-season? Do you feel the full potential in that original package has been unlocked or is there more to come prior to the summer break?

GS: "I've always said we're not going to introduce upgrades just to introduce them because everybody else does, we go our own way. We'll introduce them when we feel that we have got enough gains that we actually have got something and it's not just a publicity effort. We have a package coming, hopefully if all goes well for Hungary, and that's just before the summer break and hopefully we'll be able to unlock a bit more from the VF-22 with that. As we could see, the VF-22 is still strong even with its launch package."

The Austrian Grand Prix comes hot on the heels of the British Grand Prix so how important is the momentum of scoring points and moving back up to eighth in the Constructors' Championship heading straight into another race weekend - one of four in the month of July?

GS: "July is a very packed month with races. It would be nice to have some more points but as I've said before, I don't want to hype up the expectation now that when we don't score points, we're upset, that's not true. The midfield is very tight together this year and at each race somebody else can get into the points. We need to have a flawless weekend to get into the points because our competitors are strong.

 Obviously, we will fight for points but if they are not coming there is a race two weeks later in France where we can score points. I think we can potentially score points in each of the races."

We once again saw at Silverstone, in both the F1 and F2 races on Sunday, the impact of the Halo device in terms of driver safety. Can you share what your thoughts were when the measure was first proposed several years ago to now where we've seen its effectiveness in multiple accidents and the protection it provides drivers?

GS: "When the addition was proposed, I wouldn't say I was skeptical. I knew what I knew, and I said yes, we can do without it and so on but now I must admit, how can we do without it now. The halo device has helped a lot, not only Zhou in the last race but in a lot of accidents in F2, F3, F1, everywhere. If you say we go without the halo device, now it would be like saying we go without helmets or a HANS device.

It's just a part of the safety of Formula 1 cars. Obviously, we have to compliment the FIA as they introduced it and pushed really hard even if some of us were objecting it. It's a very good device and it's now part of our technical regulations."

Round 11 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship is the Austrian Grand Prix, the second Sprint weekend on the 2022 schedule. It also marks your second Sprint weekend - what did you learn from Imola and what's your assessment on Sprint weekends so far?

Kevin Magnussen: "Imola was my first Sprint and we had a good weekend, we scored points in both the Sprint and the main race, so it's always nice to have a good first experience so hopefully we can do the same in Austria. I watched them last year and the big question is whether or not you want to take a risk in the Sprint. If you didn't qualify for your position in the main race during the Sprint and instead the qualifying on Friday was your starting position for both the Sprint and the main race, then you would be able to go for it in the Sprint without having to take risks for your starting position. Maybe that could be a solution to make people go for it a bit more in the Sprint."

The 2018 Austrian Grand Prix was the most successful in Haas F1 Team's short history. What do you remember about that race and share some of your feelings after crossing the finishing line?

KM: "It was awesome for the team. It was one of those days where, being such a small team and getting that kind of result with both cars, it felt so great to be that small team with the resources we have, especially at that time, to beat those big teams on that day."

The area around the Red Bull Ring is known for having changing weather. Having experienced good results with the VF-22 in the wet, most noticeably during qualifying in Montreal, do you look forward to the chance of rain?

KM: "It seems that we have a good car in the wet. Somehow, it seems more competitive when it's a wet track, so naturally you hope for wet all the time. I did do a lot of karting in the wet as I grew up in Denmark, but I don't think that's why. There's a lot less grip and you feel on the edge in the car in the wet so there's more risk in a way, and it's more exhilarating to drive, it just adds a little more."

At 677 meters above sea level, engines and brakes come in for a hard time in Austria. With these new cars, how vital is looking after them going to be in order to make it to the finish line on Sunday?

KM: "We haven't actually really been able to say on this type of track if we're stronger or weaker, it seems that our car is about the same at most tracks - it's more of a tire thing. In Melbourne, the only place where I feel like we were uncompetitive, it was more about the tires, being able to get them into the window, so it's hard to predict."

Round 11 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship is the Austrian Grand Prix, the second Sprint weekend on the 2022 schedule. The first in Imola netted you a then-best 10th place finish, so do you like the added opportunity of two races in one weekend?

Mick Schumacher: "I'm excited about simply going to Austria. It's a great track, a great venue, and it's always nice. It's good weather usually so I bring my bike and go cycling with the team. I've done sprints a lot in some format in Formula 2 but I like driving free practice sessions and being able to really perfect the car, and then go into qualifying. Everything builds up to that big event whereas I feel with the Sprint you have one free practice, one qualifying and then you go straight into the Sprint itself and sometimes it can feel a bit rushed."

You've said previously that Austria was one of your favorite events last year. What is it that you like about the Red Bull Ring and the close surroundings of the track?

MS: "First of all, I think it's beautiful - all the mountains and "Heidi-esque" vibe, it's super cool. I had a great time with the team last year and I enjoy the mountain area. It's always been a good track to me in some ways, so I'm excited about going back there and hopefully we'll have a good weekend."

The area around the track is known for having changing weather. Having experienced good results with the VF-22 in the wet, most noticeably during qualifying in Montreal, do you look forward to the chance of rain?

MS: "Yes! I want the wet, I want it to rain. This year as well with the car it definitely helps, so that obviously helps for motivation in the rain. If you already have the thought that you're happy about rain, that can change a lot in how you approach it compared to a person who doesn't like rain and doesn't want to drive - it's all about mindset."

At 677 meters above sea level, engines and brakes come in for a hard time in Austria. With these new cars, how vital is looking after them going to be in order to make it to the finish line on Sunday?
 
MS: "I think this year more than ever it's a matter of conserving the brakes and trying to maximize what you have. Those things unfortunately don't go hand in hand so you're kind of on the limit of both and it's about what do you prioritize - making the car as quick as it can go or making the car reliable as it can be, so it's up to us to find."

Austrian GP: Preview - McLaren

Lando Norris: "I'm really excited to be back in Spielberg for the Austrian Grand Prix.

"It's a Sprint and it's one of my favourites on the calendar so it's shaping up to be a nice weekend. Whilst we may not necessarily be fighting for podiums like in the last two years, there is definitely an opportunity for some good points and to have some fun battles.

"It was great to see so many people in papaya this past weekend and I'm buzzing to see all the orange in the crowd this weekend clearly there supporting McLaren... There's always a great atmosphere and I'm hoping to build on my solid performance at Silverstone. We do still have a lot of work to do but we keep pushing forward and we keep fighting."

Daniel Ricciardo: "The Austrian Grand Prix is always a fun one. It's a great track in a beautiful location and it's always an exciting race. The past few Sprint races have proven anything is possible so I'm ready to pounce on any opportunities that come my way, as well as creating a few of my own.

"Whilst the fans were sensational, the British Grand Prix result wasn't what I wanted it to be, and we've got some work to do before this weekend. We're putting in the hours to figure out why we lacked pace and are doing everything we can to get further up the grid in the second half of this season. Hopefully we will make some improvements this weekend and move forward. Let's keep our heads high and keep going."

Piers Thynne, Executive Director, Operations: "We've hit the halfway point in the 2022 season and the team is working harder than ever.

 Working within the cost cap forces teams to work efficiently, and with three grands prix and a tyre test to go before the summer break, everyone both at MTC and at track is working hard to give us the best possible chance to score good points over the coming races, particularly with opportunities that may present themselves within the sprint format in Spielberg.

"There are many elements at play at the Red Bull Ring that we take into consideration when preparing the cars and all parts for the weekend. There are high levels of attrition possible with the harsh curbs which can easily damage components so we have to ensure we have enough spare parts available for all key areas of the car. This is particularly important from a production perspective when taking into consideration the increased risk of damage that comes with the sprint format and it being the second half of a double header, but something we work into our long term plans when preparing for the season so the team are ready to go.

"The track itself has lots of great features, from the changing gradient and the uphill right-handers to the three fast straights, it will be interesting to see how the new iteration of cars handle at the circuit."

Austrian GP: Preview - Aston Martin

Lance Stroll: "This is a fun little circuit: it is quick and relentless - you are always pushing to the limit to maximise the lap-time. I have had some good results here in the last couple of years, and I feel that we can develop some positive momentum if we can string together a clean weekend. It is easier to pass here than it was at Imola, venue of the last Sprint race, so I hope we will see more action on Saturday afternoon this time around."

Sebastian Vettel: "This is a really unforgiving circuit - go off the road and you are quickly punished - but that makes it enjoyable because you are always tested. The kerbs are very aggressive - and, with these ground-effect cars, we will definitely need to be extra careful - but I hope we will be more competitive this weekend. The Sprint adds another dimension to the weekend - and the races here are usually eventful - so I am looking forward to getting two shots at it!"

Insight and Speed

Tyres: The three softest compounds - the C3, C4 and C5 - will be used for the fourth time in five races. Normally a one-stopper, the timing of a Safety Car can influence a second stop and heavily change the dynamics of the race.

Overtaking: The Red Bull Ring is one of the easiest places on the calendar to overtake. The run to the Turn Three hairpin and Turn Four right-hander are the key locations for passes - 90 per cent of moves take place into or out of these corners.

Safety Cars: Since returning to the calendar in 2014, 60 per cent of races have featured a Safety Car or a Virtual Safety Car - which is close to average. As was the case at Silverstone, VSCs are used very rarely - there has only been one occurrence, back in 2018.

Austrian GP: Preview - AlphaTauri

Pierre Gasly: "Having now watched the British Grand Prix, it was definitely a brilliant afternoon for motor racing fans and also proof of what a great job the sport has done on the safety front over the years. I'm really happy no one was seriously injured, as it was a scary moment.

"From our perspective, having worked well to turn things around in Quali and then running as high as seventh in the race, it became another missed opportunity. Teammates should never come together, but on Sunday night, we sat down as a team and discussed it and immediately moved on to planning for this next Grand Prix in Austria.

"This is a home race for Red Bull, so although there is no extra pressure, everyone in the team is very keen to do well. I've finished in the points three times at the Red Bull Ring. It's a very fast layout, especially the second and third sectors, and it's the type of track that has been a bit complicated for us since the start of the year. On the other hand, we have learned a lot from the races so far and we can try and improve the car under these conditions and make some progress.

"We will need to have a perfect weekend as, since the start of the season, we have had a few problems, and it will be important to get our package working well on tracks that on paper are not best suited to us. If we do our very best, we can seize opportunities when they come."

Yuki Tsunoda: "I am glad that we can go racing again after just a few days to put the Silverstone race behind us. The only good moment of that weekend was on Saturday afternoon when we worked well in the wet conditions to qualify better than we had hoped, based on how Friday went. I couldn't do anything about the collision after the start and later unfortunately I had the incident with Pierre. We discussed it as a team and now we move forward.

"I like all the fun things that Red Bull gets us to do as part of the build up to races, but although this is a home race for the company, I don't think we have too many crazy things planned this year, as Austria is the second race of a back-to-back. We will be fully focussed on making up for the disappointment of Silverstone. I enjoyed this race last year, making it through to Q3 and scoring a point for tenth place. And going further back, I finished second in Formula 2. It's a short lap in terms of time, just over a minute.

"It could be a slightly difficult weekend for us, as I'm not sure the high speeds will suit our car that well. Our performance level has been different at various tracks, so you never know what to expect really. It's not a difficult track to set up the car and you run a medium set-up in terms of downforce for the high-speed sections.

 Looking at how we performed here last year, I expect we could be quite competitive."

Austrian GP: Preview - Ferrari

Less than a week ago at Silverstone, Scuderia Ferrari claimed its third win of the season, a maiden victory for Carlos Sainz and now it's time for Austria to host the eleventh round, concluding the first half of the season, in the Styrian mountains at Spielberg. A full house is expected, most of the fans cheering for our main rivals this season, this being a home race for them. This weekend will also be the second event of the year run to the Sprint format.

The circuit is popular with most drivers, even if a lap only takes less than 70 seconds to complete. Its 4.318 kilometres only has eleven corners and it is one of the shortest of the season, but it still packs in a bit of everything: long straights that require power, as well as demanding changes of direction which make it a medium downforce track. Traction requirements and lateral forces mean a medium-high level of stress for the tyres.

This weekend features the Sprint format, last seen earlier this season at Imola. The teams therefore have to deal with a much tighter timetable when it comes to setting up the cars. On Friday, drivers and engineers only get one 60 minute session, starting at 13.30 CEST, to find the right set-up prior to qualifying, which replaces the usual second free practice session at 17.00. This decides the grid for the Sprint, which gets underway at 16.30 on Saturday, run over a distance of 24 laps, approximately 100 kilometres.

The first eight finishers get points, the winner taking 8, then all the way down to a single point for eighth place. Prior to that, there's a final hour of free practice at 12.30. The Austrian Grand Prix gets underway on Sunday at 15.00, with the grid order taken from the result of the Sprint.

Three questions to Inaki Rueda, Head of Strategy and Sporting:

Describe the characteristics of the Spielberg track.

IR: "Spielberg has several straights, each of them featuring a DRS zone, making it the easiest venue of the year for overtaking. The middle section puts a lot of stress on the tyres as the corners come thick and fast, which leads to high degradation. Another characteristic of this track is the kerbs, which are very high, especially between turns 7 and 9, which poses a threat to wings and floors. This year, with the cars so near to the ground, the drivers will have to pay particular attention when riding them, to avoid damaging the car beyond repair".

This will be the second Sprint weekend of the season. How does that affect the team's approach to this race?

IR: "The most significant aspect of the Sprint format is how little time there is to prepare, because there is only one free practice session prior to qualifying and the car configuration cannot be changed from the moment it takes to the track in Q1. The Saturday race is usually a not very spectacular procession, but the track characteristics and the greater number of points on offer this season, could lead to more overtaking than usual. So the Grand Prix starting grid could look quite different to Saturday's".

What are the challenges in terms of strategy at the Spielberg track?

IR: "From a strategy point of view, Spielberg lends itself to a race with more than one stop, particularly as Pirelli is bringing its three softest compounds – C3, C4, C5. The inherently high degradation of these tyres, along with the ease of overtaking, could produce a photo-finish, of the sort we see in motorcycle racing at this track. I expect a lot of changes of position, including for the lead, all the way to the chequered flag".

Austrian GP: Preview - Williams

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: Having damaged Alex's car at the race start last weekend, coming straight into a Sprint Event is logistically difficult. However, we have been able to repair or replace much of Alex's car such that we can continue to understand the updates during FP1 on Friday. There is very little time to change the car before it passes into Parc Ferme at a Sprint Event and so we will need to be bold going into FP1 if we are to continue to push the performance.

The layout of the circuit is more challenging than is perhaps apparent from the track map, with the tight low-speed corners contrasting heavily with the faster infield corners at T6/7. The significant elevation changes add to the challenge and make some of the braking zones tricky. Finally, the kerbs are very tempting for the drivers but can damage the cars if they are abused.

The weather forecast is calling for relatively cool conditions, which should make setting the cooling level ahead of qualifying more straightforward than it might have been in more usual hot conditions.

 Even so, setting the cooling level for the race on Friday afternoon remains a tricky risk-reward game, which all teams must face.

Nicholas Latifi: I'm looking forward to getting going in Austria with the second Sprint race weekend of the year. I'm a fan of these weekends as it's exciting to change up the normal format. We're carrying some good momentum after a positive weekend at Silverstone.

I'm looking to hit the ground running and as always that FP1 session will be crucial. We have plenty of data around that track from before, so I expect us to be in good shape. Hopefully we can take advantage of the difference in format that the Sprint event produces and have a solid weekend.

Alex Albon: It's obviously disappointing we didn't get to properly test the new upgrade last week, however looking forward to Austria, I know the team has been working hard to make the repairs, so we'll be ready to test it further and gather more data. With the sprint race it does limit our practice time, but it will be good to get back out there and see what we can do with the car.

Austrian GP: Preview - Alpine

After scoring ten points from the British Grand Prix, the team continues its climb towards fourth place in the Constructors' Championship. Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer offers his thoughts from an action-packed race at Silverstone and looks ahead to the Austrian Grand Prix where Formula 1 prepares for the second Sprint Qualifying of the season.

How does the team summarise its performance from the British Grand Prix?

Otmar Szafnauer: "After Silverstone, we've continued closing the gap to fourth place in the Constructors' Championship after Fernando's fifth in the race. Unfortunately, we weren't able to have both cars finish the race due to Esteban's retirement, which we now know was an electrical failure on the high-pressure fuel pump. Esteban was driving a great race and he recovered well from the lap one incident. The damage looked worse than it was, and the mechanics did a very impressive job to repair his car during the red flag break to have him back in the race. I'd like to add a deserved special mention to the mechanics, not only for the aforementioned repairs during the red flag interval, but also for finishing in first place for the fastest pit-stop during the race. There were plenty of positives from Silverstone - the new upgrades worked well, we were competitive on Saturday and Sunday - but the negative is only one car made it to the chequered flag and that's something we will improve in the fight for fourth in the Constructors' Championship."

What are your thoughts on the first lap incident?

OS: "The good news is that the drivers involved in the incident were all safe and OK. It was a frightening crash to witness and a scenario that, fortunately, we don't see too often. The FIA, Formula 1 and the teams have worked incredibly hard over the years to improve safety of the cars and this type of accident really underlines the high standards of safety. I'll be first to admit that I was sceptical of the introduction of the halo four years ago and I'm happy to admit my opinion was wrong. Just over the British Grand Prix weekend alone, we've seen first-hand the importance of the halo device in driver safety. We look forward to racing with Zhou [Guanyu] and Alex [Albon] again this weekend and we're very pleased that they are both OK."

What are the main considerations for Austria?

OS: "Spielberg is a short circuit with just nine corners and our car has performed relatively well in medium to high-speed corners this season, which is a key attribute of this track. The upgrades we introduced in Silverstone worked as expected and has given us a boost in on-track performance. Austria is the second Sprint event of the year and we'll have to dial ourselves in quickly with one practice session on Friday before Qualifying and I have every confidence that by Sunday we can come away with strong points. The weather can be unpredictable there and I think we have the ability to go well in Austria, rain or shine. It's the home race of our title partner BWT and we're equally looking forward to being with them over the race weekend and, hopefully, enjoying on-track success together!"

Esteban Ocon is set to embark on his 100th Grand Prix in Formula 1 this weekend in Austria. The Frenchman is keen to return to the points paying positions after a retirement at Silverstone last weekend denied him an eighth top ten finish of the season.

After a couple of days of reflection, how do you sum up your last weekend?

Esteban Ocon: "First of all, it was great to see that all drivers involved in the incident at the beginning are fine. It was a scary one and really shows how far safety in Formula 1 has come. On our side we've had a couple of days to look into the fuel pump issue from Sunday and identified what went wrong, so that is a positive. We know how crucial reliability is to achieve our goals, so it is paramount to minimise these sorts of issues going forward. We are very close to that fourth spot in the Constructors' Championship, so our eyes are set on that."

On Sunday, you will start your 100th career Formula 1 Grand Prix. An achievement you must be proud of?

EO: "Getting to triple digits in F1 is an achievement any driver would be proud of. You can say it's a number that reflects consistency in the sport and shows I am an established driver with good experience. But not quite as much experience as my teammate, I know! My dream was always to get to Formula 1, so it will feel good to say that I have taken part in 100 races with many more to come. But the focus is to have a smooth weekend with a good result on Sunday after the personal disappointment of Silverstone."

Austria is next up this weekend. Are you looking forward to it?

EO: "I'm excited to come back to another classic track. It's a very picturesque place to race cars with a relatively short lap compared to other tracks we go to. It's got a pretty compact configuration comprising of ten corners and a sequence of short, fast straights, with plenty of changes in elevation. There is good traction and straight-line speed is important to do well there, but this track is a good overall test for all cars, demanding power, aerodynamic efficiency and good braking. In the past, we've seen that weather conditions can be quite mixed in Austria, where it can be very hot, but we can never discount sudden downpours of heavy rain. The team is excited to come back and get racing again so soon."

Fernando Alonso heads to Austria next after a thrilling battle in Silverstone that saw him score a season best fifth position. Fernando will look to add another strong result this weekend in Spielberg and make it six top-ten finishes in a row.

It was a thrilling race at Silverstone. How was it for you?

Fernando Alonso: "Silverstone was a good result for us and I enjoyed battling near the front in the closing laps. We have to be happy with fifth. I think it was my best weekend so far in terms of our overall competitiveness and the result. We were competitive in all conditions in the wet and the dry weather. It's a good sign for us and something we can build on for the next few weekends. Our upgrades that we brought to the car seem to be working well and it's a credit to the effort by everyone at Enstone and Viry. It's also great to see both Zhou [Guanyu] and Alex [Albon] are OK after their big incidents on the opening lap."

Looking ahead to this weekend in Austria what are your expectations?
 
FA: "I hope we can pick-up where we left off at Silverstone. It's a back to back so we have to keep up the energy levels. Luckily the races aren't too far apart so the travel isn't a huge factor on this double header. As the lap is short at the Red Bull Ring it's always very close and Qualifying is usually tight between a number of cars. One small error or loss of time can be the difference between Q2 and Q3. It's also a Sprint Qualifying weekend and I think the track will be quite good for this format because overtaking is possible there. I want to keep scoring points."

Do you have any different preparations for a Sprint Qualifying weekend?

FA: "It different as you have only one practice session to perfect the setup of the car before qualifying. We had this situation last weekend at Silverstone because of the mixed weather. As a fan I'm sure it's more fun to watch and listen to a little less conversation and see more action. But we have to adapt to this format. We've had enough Sprint Qualifying races now that we are quite familiar with it. I also prefer that more points are on offer in the new format as it makes it more meaningful."

Austrian GP: Preview - Pirelli

The Red Bull Ring in Austria is a short and sharp rollercoaster with just 10 corners and constant elevation changes. Pirelli brings the three softest tyres in the range: C3 as the P Zero White hard, C4 as the P Zero Yellow medium, and C5 as the P Zero Red soft.

Last year there were two races at the Red Bull Ring held back-to-back: this weekend is the same tyre nomination as the second race there, designed to help put on a show by increasing degradation and creating more overtaking opportunities. On that occasion, the winning strategy was a two-stopper: one opening stint on the medium, followed by two hard tyre stints. Of course, the compounds and structures are different this year.

Austria is also home to the second sprint weekend of the season, after Imola. As a reminder, rather than having 13 sets of tyres for a conventional weekend, there will be just 12 sets. These consist of two sets of hard, four sets of medium, and six sets of soft. In addition, the teams will have up to six sets of Cinturato Green intermediates and three sets of Cinturato Blue full wets available in case of wet weather – which is very possible in the Styrian hills.

Alpine, McLaren, Red Bull and Williams will stay on after the Austrian Grand Prix as part of Pirelli's testing programme for next year's tyres. McLaren and Williams will test for two days, with the other two teams putting in one day each.

Mario Isola: "The asphalt at the Red Bull Ring offers reasonably low grip on a low-severity circuit, which makes it possible to bring the softest tyres in the range. This helps us in putting the focus on entertainment, at a venue that has often delivered exciting races in the past, thanks to a busy and compact lap that's essentially a series of short corners.

"Traction and especially braking are key here: with a particular risk of lock-ups in some of the tricky downhill braking areas. Maintaining the performance of the rear tyres throughout the lap is also vital to ensure adequate traction. Our tyre nomination makes a variety of different potential strategies possible."

Menuda vergüenza lo de la FIA. Aunque los vayan cambiando, ellos siguien haciendo cosas como estas. Esta vuelta la deberían de haber anulado en su momento. Si tienen que retrasar el inicio de la Q3, pues lo retrasan y punto. Porque es muy injusto que, en este caso, Gasly no haya participado en Q3 cuando en realidad había pasado el corte. Con el accidente de Hamilton, como mínimo habría acabado 9º. Muy de la FIA todo.

Eliminar el tiempo en Q2 de Checo, hace que caiga a la 13ª posición.

Impresiones de los equipos tras la jornada de Clasificación de ayer:

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Red Bull

Max Verstappen: "We can definitely be happy with the result today. On the final lap in Q3, turn one and three weren't the best so I knew the rest of the lap needed to be spot on. I was down on the first and second sector so pushed hard in the final and it paid off. It was a good session and of course it's good to be close to the Ferraris again. This season so far, the car has been good in the race compared to qualifying where we've been weaker, so hopefully tomorrow we can be competitive in the sprint."

Sergio Perez: "It was a tricky day, going into qualifying from FP1 things didn't feel great so there is a bit of understanding needed from our side and hopefully tomorrow we are able to recover. The car was in and out for me during the day and during quali, I wasn't able to get into the rhythm. It is disappointing to lose fourth place, the track limits are very tight here this season, but it is frustrating that the Team weren't told my lap time had been deleted during Q2. We have the Sprint tomorrow to make up ground and a long race ahead, we have to keep our head down and push hard to make progress and put us in a good position for Sunday."

Christian Horner: "To get pole today was a great result for Max, he was just a little bit quicker in the last turn and that made the difference; to have three cars within one tenth of a second is incredible. Ferrari are looking very strong right now, we saw that after their win at Silverstone and right across the season, so to get the pole today was extremely valuable. It's great to be back in Austria, the Team love racing here and the support we get is incredible, passion is great but shouldn't spill over into jeers at our opponents. We feel the penalty for Checo was very harsh and should have been dealt with before Q3 to enable us to improve subsequent performance. He will do his best tomorrow from P13 and try and put us into a better position for Sunday's race."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Mercedes

Continuing the progress seen in Silverstone, the W13 showed competitive single lap performance today with both drivers in Spielberg. Lewis was on course to improve his lap time in Q3 when a snap on the entry to Turn Seven saw him lose the rear end and crash.
Following the red flag for Lewis's accident, George was on course to improve his time when he lost the rear end of the car on entry to Turn Ten, after it was unsettled on the Turn Nine exit kerb.

Although neither starting position reflects the car's full potential, and there is much work ahead to rebuild both machines, the team is optimistic we can deliver strong pace in both the Sprint and Grand Prix.

George Russell: I think that was our best qualifying session of the year in terms of pure pace - and the worst in terms of the outcome. Racing can be like that sometimes. I could have been P4 this afternoon and I was one tenth up on my lap, and absolutely went for it because I thought there was a chance of P3. I'm feeling fine physically - but I'm concerned about the car. I hope we can recover it. In terms of performance, there are positive signs. We have brought some things to the car, and the interpretation of some rules has probably been in our favour, too. Lewis was doing a phenomenal job and absolutely flying today.

Maybe I went a bit the wrong direction on set-up for qualifying; but hopefully that will be good for the race. Ordinarily we have better race pace than single lap, so hopefully tomorrow, we can make up for today.

Lewis Hamilton: I'm incredibly disappointed in myself ultimately and so sorry to the team. Everyone worked so hard to put the car together -and I never like to bring it back damaged. I don't have an answer right now to what happened. I lost the back end in Turn Seven and that was that. I was encouraged to see our performance, though. I think we were fighting for a top three start - and we weren't expecting to be that close. That's a huge positive for the team. I'm starting quite far back, and I'm not sure what's possible from there. We have the Sprint tomorrow as well as the race on Sunday; hopefully tomorrow I can make up for some lost time.

Andrew Shovlin: A frustrating finish to what was looking like a decent qualifying session. The car has been working well and first practice was busy and productive. The balance was pretty good through that session which is useful with only one hour before qualifying to sort out the setup. We'd tweaked the balance a bit going into qualifying and were putting some solid laps in when both drivers had moments and ended up in the wall. We've got our work cut out trying to get the cars onto the grid tomorrow. We are still assessing the extent of it but both accidents caused damage to several of the same components on each car, which makes it quite difficult from a spares point of view. We'll do what we can to make sure that both cars are competing. If there is a silver lining to this cloud, it's that the Sprint gives us some opportunity to make it further up the grid ahead of the main race. We'll be working hard towards that objective.

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Ferrari

On the second shortest track of the season, qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix produced the usual great spectacle of today's fastest drivers fighting it out to the nearest thousandths of a second. Scuderia Ferrari missed out on the top slot by a whisker, with Charles Leclerc's best lap just 29 thousandths off Max Verstappen's time. Therefore, in tomorrow's Sprint race, which runs over 24 laps, equivalent to 100 kilometres and starts at 16.30, Charles will start from second place on the grid, with team-mate Carlos Sainz third, 82 thousandths off the pole time.

The top-ten shoot out was particularly exciting. On his first attempt, Charles posted a 1'05"183, having found Lewis Hamilton ahead of him, which cost the Ferrari man a few thousandths, enough to put him behind Verstappen's 1'05"092. Carlos stopped the clocks in 1'05"300. The session was then red flagged twice, following crashes for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell and when it resumed, there was just over two and half minutes remaining. At this point all the drivers went out on new Soft tyres and both the Ferraris went quicker, Charles getting down to 1'05"013 and Carlos doing a 1'05"066. Verstappen secured pole with a 1'04"984.

The second Sprint race of the season, its grid based on today's qualifying, will feature an identical front row to the first one, held in Imola. Its outcome sets the grid for the Grand Prix itself, which starts at 3pm on Sunday. Before all that, there's a final hour of free practice that gets underway at 12.30, when teams will get a final chance to prepare for the short race and Sunday's 71 laps, equivalent to 306.452 kilometres.

Charles Leclerc: It was very close, but Max was just in front today. I had some understeer after the red flags as I struggled to get the tyres back in the right window, so I didn't have a perfect lap. It's a shame, but it's only Friday and it's Sunday that really counts. Tomorrow it will be important to work on driving style in FP2 and then have a very good Sprint.

Carlos Sainz: That was extremely close! It was a positive qualifying in general. We managed to build the speed through the session and put in a good lap at the end. The first couple of corners of that final run were very tricky as we had lost temperature on the tyres due to the second red flag. In the end, we missed out on a better result by less than a tenth, so I think we are up for an interesting Sprint tomorrow and GP on Sunday, as we have a strong pace. We'll prepare as best as possible and fight for a good result!

Laurent Mekies: We knew it would be a very closely fought qualifying, a head-to-head between us and our competitors. During this morning's free practice, we worked a lot on optimising our package and we were then competitive enough to fight for pole down to the nearest thousandths of a second. We didn't manage to secure the number one slot, but that's what can happen when the gaps are so small and it's all part of the game. We will try and change that in the race.

The main aspect of this weekend is that it's a very long one. Effectively it's a 400 kilometre race run in two parts. We have seen that our potential is there and that we have started out on the right footing. Now, those of us here at the track and our colleagues back in Maranello can expect a really interesting challenge. The gap to our rivals is minimal, so if we want to reverse today's result, the slightest detail can make the difference. We will do our utmost to ensure our drivers have everything they need to extract even more performance from their F1-75s.

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Alpine

BWT Alpine F1 Team will start tomorrow's second Sprint Qualifying of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season with Esteban Ocon sixth on the grid and Fernando Alonso ninth after a strong Friday Qualifying in Austria.

It's the team's fifth Q3 appearance with both cars this year with all eyes now on tomorrow's 24-lap Sprint Qualifying around the short but fast Spielberg circuit.

With only one practice session to prepare the cars earlier in the day, the team opted to run Pirelli's Medium tyres during Free Practice 1, saving Softs for Qualifying and the remainder of the weekend.

Both drivers showed promising pace right from the start of Q1 with Fernando progressing in fourth place and Esteban in thirteenth, well inside the cut-off spots.

In Q2, Esteban improved from a 1min 06.488secs on his first run to a 1min 05.993secs on his penultimate lap to go through to Q3 in eighth place. Fernando too made Q3 - for the ninth time of the season - slightly adrift of his team-mate.

Esteban continued to show improvements and his lap time of 1min 05.779secs in Q3 saw him knocking on the door of the top six. Fernando ran wide at Turn 1 on his opening effort and sustained damage to the left-hand side of the floor on his A522.

After the first red flag for Lewis Hamilton, Fernando set a 1min 06.103secs to move into seventh, behind Esteban. A second red flag for George Russell delayed proceedings further before Esteban improved his time by 0.053secs to cement sixth with Fernando putting in a 1min 06.103secs to take ninth place.

Esteban Ocon: "I'm very pleased with our Qualifying result today finishing in sixth place. It felt like the car really came alive during Q2 and Q3 after a fairly challenging Free Practice and Q1. We're in a good position for the Sprint Qualifying tomorrow and hopefully we can firstly solidify our grid position for the main race and secondly take some valuable points. There is room to improve, and we still need to assess the car on high fuel, which we'll do in tomorrow's Free Practice 2. I'm feeling optimistic that we can have two good races and, in order to do so, we must remain focused."

Fernando Alonso: "The car felt very competitive today and it was good to be in Q3 again. However, I had a broken floor after I ran wide on my first lap in Q3, so we lost some performance with the damage. I think before that damage occurred, we were looking at the top five or six positions today, which would have been great for the Sprint tomorrow. From ninth place, our aim will be to recover some places tomorrow, which I'm sure we can achieve. Generally, it's been a competitive Friday for us, so I'm hopeful we can have some fun in Sprint Qualifying and in the race on Sunday afternoon and claim some big points."

Alan Permane, Sporting Director: "We can be relatively happy with today's Qualifying performance with Esteban in sixth and Fernando in ninth. Looking at how the session progressed, I think sixth and seventh was probably the best we could have achieved had things panned out in our favour, but that's how it goes sometimes. Esteban has been solid today and improved lap after lap, session by session, which built him up nicely through to his last run in Q3. Fernando can count himself slightly unfortunate after damaging the floor during his first run in Q3, which compromised some performance. We will, of course, be able to repair that ahead of tomorrow's Sprint. We're happy with how the car has performed today and we're in a great position to score points with both cars in tomorrow's Sprint Qualifying and Sunday's race."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - AlphaTauri

Pierre Gasly: "I'm pretty happy with today, we haven't had any upgrades for a few races, so we know compared to other cars we've been struggling quite a bit more lately. It's always frustrating to miss out on Q3 by such a small margin, but I must say I was pleased with my lap, it was pretty tidy and I was able to put it altogether for Quali today. We're starting just out of the top 10 for the Sprint tomorrow, so we're in a good position to make our way forward and hopefully move into the points on Sunday. We need to work more, as we can't be satisfied with the overall performance, but we know we have some upgrades coming, so if we are able to improve from this current baseline then we should be quite competitive in the upcoming races."
Yuki Tsunoda: "I'm really disappointed with today. I was happy with the balance of the car and how we were progressing through Quali, but unfortunately on my last push in Q2 my tyres were cold, I had a huge snap at Turn 1, this ruined my lap, so I couldn't progress further. I think the pace of the car was quite good and we had a chance to get through to Q3 today, so it's a real shame."

Jonathan Eddolls (Chief Race Engineer): "We are in Austria for our second sprint event of the season and, as is typical for this format, our Friday has been a very busy day! We enter Parc Ferme as soon as we leave the pits for Qualifying, so we have to do all of our setup work in the one-hour FP1 session - on a typical weekend we normally have all three practice sessions to complete this. So, we kept the car on track for as much running as possible, with minimal changes between the runs. The session was used to understand the general car balance and to check the stabilised temperatures over a sustainable run. The high wind made it quite difficult, with the balance being different corner to corner. Also, there is a lot of warp in the track, so brake locking made some corners inconsistent, particularly T3.

Heading into Quali we knew the competitiveness was not enough for Q3 and actually with the short track, we were close to the Q1 cut-off, so we elected to have three runs in Q1.

This worked well and both drivers progressed through to Q2. This meant we were left with only a single new set of Softs, so we set the first timed on the Used tyres, before fitting the new tyre for the last lap. The step-in grip was there, and Pierre put his best sectors together to finish P11, only 9ms away from a place in Q3. Yuki's prep lap didn't quite go to plan, so he had cold tyres going into T1, he had to abort his lap and unfortunately ended the session in P14, with the used tyre time. Still, the performance has been slightly better than we expected, so we will do all we can in the Sprint tomorrow to progress both cars forward."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Aston Martin

Lance Stroll: "It is always a challenge here with the track limits. But despite that, we did not quite have the pace to make it through into Q2 today. Obviously, we are going to try and recover some places in the Sprint tomorrow, and our pace is looking okay after Free Practice earlier, so there is still plenty to play for this weekend."

Sebastian Vettel: "It was a shame to get my lap-time deleted for crossing track limits. I had actually lost a little time at Turn One anyway - so it was effectively a double penalty. Still, we did not have the pace today to get through into the next part of qualifying - but there are plenty of opportunities in tomorrow's Sprint Race and we will hopefully start in a better position for Sunday's Grand Prix."

Mike Krack, Team Principal: "We pushed hard in qualifying today, but there was no more time to find in the car. Nevertheless, it is still only Friday - we have the Sprint tomorrow and we have proved recently that we can race strongly. There is still plenty to play for, and both Lance and Sebastian will be pushing hard to maximise every opportunity ahead of Sunday."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Williams

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: We always enjoy the challenge of a Sprint Event Friday and today was no exception. FP1 was a bit disrupted and we also had to focus on race preparation, so we didn't learn a huge amount more about the new parts that we introduced on Alex's car in Silverstone. However, the driver comments continue to be positive and although we know there is more to do to understand - and optimise - the new package, we are confident that we have taken a step forward since Canada.

Qualifying is often tricky at the Red Bull Ring with 20 cars fighting for position on a track that is barely 4km long. Fortunately, Q1 was fairly smooth with both drivers having mostly clear laps and three good opportunities to set a lap time. Alex was able to make the most of the opportunity and the new parts and made it to Q2, finishing in 12th place. He again drove very well and pushed hard on his new tyres at the end of Q2. Nicholas's car is heavier than Alex's this weekend and he is obviously still driving with the Canada car specification, but despite this he drove well again, building on his impressive display in the wet last weekend. His team worked very hard to get everything out of his car today and although they succeeded in that regard, they are looking forward to getting their hands on the new package in France.

Thanks to all the hard work and dedication of the team back in Grove, all of whom worked tirelessly to ensure that we had enough parts available in Austria, we have had an enjoyable day today. However, there are still two days left to go and plenty of opportunities to make and lose places; although the cars are now in Parc Ferme, we still have a lot of work to do if we are to maximise our chances in the sprint race and the grand prix.

Alex Albon: I'm very happy. Firstly, the team did a great job to get everything ready after the damage from Silverstone; they worked flat out at the factory and here at the circuit, so to repay them with a P12 is great. We have obviously brought an upgrade and it's nice to see the performance increase because of it and I hope we can progress forward each weekend. We were only a tenth away from Q3 - it's almost frustrating as you can always think of places you could have improved - but I'm very happy. I think it's all to play for tomorrow.

Nicholas Latifi: Even though the position and lap time were not good enough, I still felt good behind the wheel carrying over what I felt in Silverstone. I made a mistake in Turn 3 but with that, my lap time and how much the upgrade should give, I should be quite a bit slower than the other car. I think I'm actually right where I need to be, so for me that's two strong Qualifying sessions in a row which is nice. Honestly, I'm happy with that because I know what the gap should be and where we need to be. The car is still struggling around here but I'm happy that I've found a little bit more driveability. I more optimistic going into the Sprint despite the lack of pace. Hopefully there will be some opportunities tomorrow.

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN endured a challenging Friday at the Red Bull Ring, as Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu qualified for the Austrian Grand Prix in P13 and P18 respectively. The 11th round of the Formula One championship features a Sprint tomorrow, the results of which will determine the final grid positions for Sunday's race.

Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "It's been a difficult day for us in qualifying, with Valtteri in P13 and Zhou in 18th. The car was not at its optimal balance, and on such a short track, with such small margins separating teams in the midfield, not being at your 100% means you end up missing out on the top places. Tomorrow's sprint race is an opportunity to shake up the order a little and hopefully we can move up a few places with both drivers ahead of the race on Sunday. This is a track where overtaking is possible and where we had lots of action in previous years, even before the arrival of the new generation of cars, so we will give everything to bring back a positive result and set us up well for Sunday."

Valtteri Bottas: "The feeling with the car wasn't too bad, but obviously this is not where we want to be. It was close in the midfield, I lacked a bit of grip and top speed and these were the main issues in terms of laptime. Still, the laps were good and I am confident in the pace we can have in the race. I will start at the back of the grid on Sunday, but there are still points to be won tomorrow and we'll give everything we have to bring home some."

Zhou Guanyu: "Today has been quite a frustrating day for me: I struggled with the tyres on the first lap on a short track like this one. The tyres were working much better on the second lap of the run but, even though I slightly improved my lap time, I still didn't have the grip I wanted and that resulted in us being out in Q1. The car has obviously been built new and, having had just one session to get ready and adapt to it, this hasn't been the easiest for me either. Nevertheless, the car seems to be working fine, we just lacked some performance today. It's my second Sprint weekend overall, and I didn't really get to experience in the previous one in Imola as I was out in the first lap, but hopefully we will have a good one tomorrow and move up on the grid ahead of Sunday, so that we can battle for points. I think everything's open for us, we just have to figure out what went wrong today and improve from that."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Haas

Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher qualified seventh and eighth respectively for Saturday's 24-lap Sprint race - the result of which will then determine the grid for Sunday's 71-lap Austrian Grand Prix, Round 11 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship hosted at the Red Bull Ring, Spielberg.

A top-ten performance looked on the cards early as both VF-22's finished FP1 in a strong sixth (MAG) and ninth (MSC) - the one-hour practice session the only opportunity ahead of qualifying to get to grips with the 4.318-kilometer (2.683-mile), 10-turn circuit.

Q1 saw both Magnussen and Schumacher progress into Q2 comfortably - Magnussen setting a fastest lap of 1:06.366 (P9) on his second set of Pirelli P Zero Red soft tires, while Schumacher posted a best time of 1:06.405 (P10) on his first set. Q2 once again witnessed both drivers advancing into the next stage of qualifying. A 1:05.894 on his second timed run saw Magnussen through to Q3 in P7. Schumacher clocked a best of 1:06.151 on his first run for P10.

Q3 proved scrappy with two red flag stops - both caused by the Mercedes pairing of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. While Schumacher had his initial Q3 run of 1:06.662 deleted for exceeding track limits - his next flying lap on new softs was a 1:06.011 to place the German P8 at the checkered flag. Magnussen went one better by claiming P7 on the soft rubber with the Dane charging to a 1:05.879 lap.

Kevin Magnussen: "It's been a good Friday. We got the car on track for the first run in FP1 and it looked competitive. I was pretty confident going into qualifying and it's been a strong day. I don't even feel like we got the most out of it, it felt like there was a little more lap time in it. It's funny as I'm P7 and I'm not super happy, so that's a very good position to be in."

Mick Schumacher: "We came quite close with that Q3 cut-off, so we were lucky there as we didn't quite maximize the lap but otherwise it was ok, but not the cleanest of sessions. Trying to push the tires to get them warmed up again is never great, you're already taking some potential out of them and I think there was definitely more lap time in it. If we hold position tomorrow, we have points and if we move forward, we gain even more so we'll go for the more points option hopefully."

Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "It was a very good day today. We started strong in FP1, everything was calm and we had no issues. Then we went into qualifying knowing that we can make it into Q3 on performance and we executed it. It was a good job by the whole team, and hopefully we can take it over to tomorrow's Sprint, keep on getting points and continuing like last week."

Austrian GP: Qualifying team notes - Pirelli

Max Verstappen qualified on pole position at Red Bull's home race - on Friday. That's because this weekend is a sprint round, with a 24-lap race on Saturday to set the grid for the grand prix, although 'pole position' is awarded to today's fastest qualifier. Pole was sealed on the final run in Q3, following two red flags after both Mercedes cars went off in separate incidents.

Like all the other drivers, Verstappen took the P Zero Red soft tyre from start to finish of qualifying. After some overnight rain, which had the effect of 'resetting' the track, qualifying got underway at 5pm in sunny conditions, with temperatures of 25 degrees centigrade ambient and 36 degrees on track, as well as some gusting winds.

The Pirelli Pole Position Award was presented by Mathias Lauda, the second son of Austrian hero Niki Lauda. Like his father, Mathias also became a racing driver, but focussed his career on GT racing, becoming a factory driver for Aston Martin where he has competed at all the great endurance races including Le Mans, Spa and the Nurburgring. Mathias now combines his racing career with work for one of Austria's leading TV channels, Servus TV.

Mario Isola: "It was another close session, with three drivers within only 0.082 seconds at the front of the grid - just think about that for a moment - which underlines how hyper-competitive the modern generation of Formula 1 cars and tyres are. Today we've seen only some light abrasion on the soft compound, which could make it an option for the sprint race tomorrow, where the cars won't make a pit stop but don't run on full fuel, reducing stress on tyres. With more rain forecast on Sunday morning before the race, the conditions that the drivers experienced in FP1 today could be quite representative of Sunday afternoon, so there was probably some useful information gained there as well."

It's fair to say Fernando Alonso doesn't miss a trick. Drove across the dirty side of the track (where his grid slot is) several times during FP2 to clean it. Missed his chance to lay rubber in P8 for his post session practice start, so cheekily stopped short of P6 instead...

Es que últimamente Vettel está muy charlatín y eso a la FIA no le gusta  :acute: . De momento, hoy no han querido ni investigar que Albon lo mandara a recoger pedrolos.

Este es el artículo 12.2.1.f que se supone ha incumplido.

Pues nada, la FIA sigue luciéndose y llaman a declarar a Mercedes, Alpine, McLaren, Haas, Red Bull y Aston Martin por los mensajes de radio que han dado a Russell, Ocon, Ricciardo, Schumacher, Checo, Stroll y Vettel durante la segunda vuelta de formación.

En el deporte con los coches más rápidos del mundo tenemos a los comisarios más lentos del mundo.

Este es uno de los llamamientos, el de Checo.

Alonso en el corralito sobre sus problemas en la parrilla:

«La verdad es que no arrancó el coche, me quedé sin batería o algo porque estaba todo apagado. Intentamos arrancar el coche con una batería externa pero tampoco funcionó, así que debe de ser algo más. Y bueno, otra vez un problema en mi coche. Y seguramente, otro fin de semana súper, súper competitivo, ultra competitivo que nos quedamos con cero puntos en esta parte del garaje».


https://twitter.com/DAZN_ES/status/1545791370035482625



Entiendo su enfado y frustración pero insinuar que están boicoteando su coche, está de más. No tiene ni pies ni cabeza.

Luego añadió que este está siendo uno de sus mejores años pero que no está teniendo suerte. Que ha perdido unos 50 o 60 puntos.

Pues nada, al final la FIA ha multado a Vettel con 25.000 € y ha suspendido la multa.  :umnik: Lo hace porque Vettel abandonó sin permiso la reunión del viernes entre pilotos y el director de carrera y, además, lo hizo expresando su frustración por la reunión. Aunque después se disculpó, los comisarios consideran que los pilotos son un ejemplo a seguir y que lo que hizo Vettel es mal ejemplo.  :stop: Muy FIA todo  :smoke: .

Sobre las investigaciones a los pilotos por las radios en la segunda vuelta de formación, no hay sanción para ninguno.

No le van a servir para mejorar las cosas en su lado del garaje, es más, igual hasta logra el efecto contrario. Lo triste es que no es la primera vez que ocurre, recuerdo el GP de China de 2006, jugándose el Mundial. También recuerdo decir a P. Symonds que aquellas declaraciones para un equipo que estaba dándolo todo  y más para vencer a la poderosísima Scuderia Ferrari resultaban demoledoras.

Sin duda, estas declaraciones y alguna más reciente, como lo de que está mejor que nunca, creo que son "defensivas", para ver si logra un asiento en la parrilla para los dos próximos años.

Impresiones de los equipos tras la Clasificación al 'Sprint':

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Red Bull

Max Verstappen: "It feels good to bring home the Sprint win at here at The Red Bull Ring. The first two laps were important for me to pull a gap, from there it was all about maintaining the pace. The Sprint race of course does not give you the full picture heading into the race tomorrow, but pace wise, it's close between us and Ferrari. I still expect it to be a tough battle tomorrow, we'll also have the hard tyres so it will be interesting to see how they perform during the race. It's going to be very important to make good strategy calls during the race as you never know what can happen, it's not going to be straightforward but I'm looking forward to it."

Sergio Perez: "It was a good race and recovery, I had a good start and kept out of trouble, it was tricky with Lewis and a lot of people going side by side into turn three. We got the most we could out of the Sprint and I feel it is a strong result from us. Once I got past everybody, George Russell was a bit far for me to catch up with, I wish I had got back up to P4 but I can fight from fifth. There are lessons we can take from the Sprint race to make sure we are on the podium tomorrow. Patience will be key on Sunday; I want to get a good start and get in the mix straight away in the race. I made up four places in the first lap today so hopefully tomorrow is the same. We are still to unlock some potential from the car so we can look forward to the race."

Christian Horner: "It was great to get the pole yesterday and to get the victory in the sprint race and retain that for the race tomorrow is fantastic. Max hit the tyres very hard to break the DRS, it's quite a long stint and Ferrari were saving their tyres, but that's the strategy we chose and what you take out at the beginning you get back at the end. Max managed it well and it was a reasonably comfortable race for him. Yesterday was a tough penalty for Checo but he had an incredible first lap today, he managed to pick off the cars and made up eight places to get back up into P5, which was only one place behind where we thought he should have been. Tomorrow is going to be a fascinating race, you can see the Ferraris are quick so we need another good start, a great first lap and to get our heads down. The support we've had here in Austria at the Red Bull Ring has been amazing, for the Team and for Max in particular from the Orange Army.

 The fans everywhere in the world have been fantastic but it's great to be racing at home and it sets us up for an exciting race tomorrow."

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Mercedes

Thanks to an herculean effort from the team, both cars were able to take part in FP2, which took place just six working hours after Qualifying. This included building a new car for Lewis around the spare chassis.

George made a strong start from P4 and then held position, containing Perez's pace in the closing laps.

Lewis had contact with Gasly at Turn One, then more on the run to Turn Three, leaving him P11 at the end of the first lap. From this point, he suffered high front left brake temperatures, possibly owing to damage.

From this point, he was able to pass Albon, Bottas and Schumacher to secure a P8 finish - putting him one place higher on the grid tomorrow, than he started today.

George Russell: First, thank you to everyone in the garage to get the car ready today. It was a huge team effort, so it was good to get points on the board. As for the performance, the gap was more than we were expecting. We were 13 seconds behind after 23 laps, so that's nearly half a second per lap. We need to work overnight to understand why we dropped off the pace. Small things can make a difference - the tyres weren't easy to manage, and different approaches to downforce levels will play a part tomorrow. But we are in no doubt that we've got work to do.

Lewis Hamilton: I'm grateful I managed to survive out there today. The team did such a great job to get the car back together last night and this morning. A bit thankyou to them and I'm glad I brought it back mostly in one piece. I didn't have a good start, then Pierre moved across on me at Turn One. I don't understand why drivers do that when there's so much space to the right, and I couldn't do anything about it. Then the same happened in Turn Three with a Williams and Red Bull.

 I got some sort of damage, but at least could continue. After that, I was just trying to catch up. We are slower on the straights, so I had to wait until I was out of the DRS train to overtake the cars in front. That's why it took a few laps to get ahead of Mick. Hopefully we can race stronger tomorrow - fingers crossed!

Toto Wolff: After such an incredible effort from the mechanics to get the cars built and able to race, that was a bit of a disappointing performance in speed terms. We failed to show our usual improvement in race pace versus single lap performance, like at other events this year. George did a strong job, but the car was lacking the pace to hold on with the train in front. For Lewis, he had contact on lap one which cost him ground. Then it was a good battle with Mick, who was fighting hard for position. Lewis eventually came out on top, so he starts the race one place higher than he qualified. Now we need to learn the lessons and improve our pace in the grand prix tomorrow.

Andrew Shovlin: Everyone in the garage did amazing work to get the cars out in time for the second practice session. We had a huge amount to do, including a chassis swap with Lewis. But it was great to see how well the team worked under pressure. The sprint race by contrast was rather underwhelming. Lewis was lucky not to be taken out when he got squeezed by Gasly in the run to Turn One, so in some ways a relief to survive that. We'll check the car for damage when we get it back but it was a big hit. George didn't quite have the speed to chase the Ferraris and Verstappen, so we were always going to end up fourth but at least we've made it onto the second row for tomorrow. We're clearly missing a bit of pace and will study the data and look at what we can do in terms of fine tuning but it's hard to find much now we're in parc ferme.

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Ferrari

For Scuderia Ferrari, the result of the Sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix was a carbon copy of yesterday's qualifying. It means that when the race gets underway tomorrow at 15.00 CEST, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will start from second and third places on the grid.

The second Sprint of the year saw Charles get off the line better than Max Verstappen, but he was unable to get ahead of the Dutchman. In the opening laps, Sainz and Leclerc traded places several times, before the positions stabilised. Today's race, which can be seen as the first part of a match, provided a good opportunity for Scuderia Ferrari to acquire useful data relating to the behaviour of the Medium tyres, as well as other parameters that can only be evaluated under racing conditions. All this information will be analysed this evening, along with data from yesterday to prepare every detail of tomorrow's 71 lap (306.452 km) Grand Prix. Both Ferraris demonstrated strong race pace, especially after the opening laps and the slightest detail could make the difference.

Charles Leclerc: I had a pretty good start. First, we had a battle with Max (Verstappen), which was a bit on the limit. Then Carlos overtook me but I regained my position in turn 4.

I just focused on managing my tyres for the first few laps so that we could push more towards the end. It was a good plan, as we picked up pace and I felt good with the tyres.

We lost a little time in the battles, but it was fun and I don't think it changed much in terms of the overall outcome today.

Tyre management will be key in tomorrow's race and I think it could be an exciting one.

Carlos Sainz: It was good racing today, especially the first few laps battling with Max and Charles. At the start there was an opportunity to get Max at turn 3 and I went for it, but I couldn't make it stick around the outside. After the initial laps, I then had to let the tyres and the battery recover, before getting back into my rhythm and that was pretty much it for today. Tomorrow is the real race and we'll be starting all over again in the same positions.

We are all very close at the front and the fight will be tight. Our rivals seemed to have a bit more pace today but we'll do our best to challenge them tomorrow.

Laurent Mekies: Today's Sprint race confirmed that on this track too, it's really close between us and our main rivals. It was important to verify this in race conditions and I'd say that this afternoon's 23 laps confirmed it. I think tomorrow's race will be very closely contested and anything could happen. It will come down to the details, which is why we will now, along with our colleagues back in Maranello, analyse everything in depth to work out how to get the most out of our package.

Tyre management, especially at the start and end of the stints could be the key element and we will have to be ready to make the most of any opportunities that come our way. Tomorrow will again be a case of two against two, as Sergio Perez made up several places this afternoon and so the contribution of both our drivers will be essential if we are to get the result we are after.

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - McLaren

Lando Norris: "Positive overall, we went forward a good few positions and we should be starting P10 tomorrow, but it wasn't easy. I had to use the tyres a lot in the first part of the race and they then dropped off a bit halfway through. Apart from that, I'm happy with the result. We did pretty much exactly what we wanted to do."

Daniel Ricciardo: "There are certainly some positives to take. We moved forward and had a bit more pace than a few of the cars in front as well. It's been a pretty tricky weekend, so I'd say that was one of our better sessions. We'll obviously try to get into the points tomorrow. I think with a few more laps today, we would have had a chance to crack into the top 10. So tomorrow with a longer race we might have a bit more of an opportunity. I think the others will try to improve overnight, so we have to still find a bit more in the car, but it was more encouraging, and we look forward to tomorrow."

Andreas Seidl: "We hit the ground running today, following a lot of hard work overnight to solve the issues that affected us yesterday.

The objective for the Sprint was to move up positions and get ourselves into a better spot to start tomorrow's Austrian Grand Prix.

 We managed that very well.

"The plan for tomorrow is much as it was for today: race hard, move up further positions, score points with both cars. This is an exciting circuit that produces dramatic races, spurred on by a big crowd that generates a wonderful atmosphere. We're looking forward to it."

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Alpine

BWT Alpine F1 Team's Esteban Ocon claimed sixth place in today's Austria Sprint with Fernando Alonso unable to start the race with a suspected electrical issue.

Esteban's sixth place means he takes home three points from today's Sprint and will line-up for tomorrow's Austrian Grand Prix in the same spot. The team will investigate the issue on Fernando's car ahead of the race.

Starting from fifth place, Esteban had a strong start, holding on to the same spot for the early part of the race. After edging ahead of Kevin Magnussen's Haas, Esteban was unable to keep the charging Red Bull of Sergio Perez behind who was able to overtake on lap 11.

From there, Esteban pushed ahead to the chequered flag to claim sixth before stopping on the in-lap as a precaution, which the team is looking into.

Esteban Ocon: "I am definitely very satisfied with sixth place in today's Sprint. We had a decent start and managed to stay ahead of Kevin [Magnussen] in the first couple of laps, before building a healthy advantage over both Haas'. The Mercedes of George [Russell] was too quick for us and so, in the end, I feel we maximised today, securing a good starting position on the grid for tomorrow's Grand Prix and also picking up some points along the way. One more lap today and it could've been a different story, as I was forced to stop the car at Turn 1 during the in-lap. The team are currently looking into what happened and I'm confident we can be ready for tomorrow."

Fernando Alonso: "It's a frustrating feeling not being able to start today's Sprint. We couldn't switch on the car on the grid, so we moved into the pit lane and then we tried an external battery, but there were still no signs of it switching on and we had to retire. The problem seems to be something electrical, and we are still investigating it. Unfortunately, despite driving very competitively this year, I've had some bad luck too. Hopefully we can change round our fortune tomorrow and we'll see what we can do in the race."

Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal: "Unfortunately, today's Sprint Race did not play out to our expectations and we have not been able to capitalise on a good Qualifying performance from yesterday. While it's a great result for Esteban to start in sixth place for tomorrow's race, we're disappointed not to give Fernando the opportunity to start today's Sprint. It looks like an electrical issue on his car, which led to his A522 not firing up on the grid, in the pit lane or in the garage. We will assess the cause and also the options we have on his car ahead of tomorrow's race. Esteban showed some good pace today and we have some useful knowledge on the tyres, which we'll utilise to aid our strategy tomorrow. All is certainly not lost. Esteban has a great chance for some solid points tomorrow and, with Fernando, you can never say never, and I'm sure he will push hard to finish inside the top ten."

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - AlphaTauri

Pierre Gasly: "I'm extremely disappointed, we started the Sprint in the top 10 and before the first corner it was already over. I don't really know what happened, so I need to review it later, but I was alongside Lewis and all of a sudden, I was facing the wrong way on the race track. The left-hand side of the car was broken after that, so it was horrendous to drive for the rest of the race. Tomorrow will be a long race, so we need to go away tonight and see what we can do to make our way forward."

Yuki Tsunoda: "It's been a tough day. I had absolutely no pace from my side, it was a different level compared to the others and the car was just too slow. We've lacked grip in general and had unpredictable balance across the weekend, we've looked at the data and so far been unable to find an issue, so we need to go away and look more deeply at this."

Jody Egginton (Technical Director): "A very disappointing race for everyone in the team. Pierre and Lewis had contact into T1 on the opening lap, which resulted in Pierre's car suffering damage to the front wing and floor, and this meant he re-joined at the back of the field. Yuki's start was ok, but he lost positions to both McLarens and Aston Martins early on and was unable to recover these later in the race, because he was struggling with the balance of his car as the race progressed. The net result of this is that both cars have come home at the back of the pack. We now have a lot of data to go through to diagnose the impact of the damage Pierre's car had on his performance today and to understand why Yuki was struggling with the balance of his car so much, so that we can get both cars moving forward in tomorrow's race."

https://www.pitpass.com/73060/Austrian-GP-Sprint-team-notes-AlphaTauri

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Aston Martin

Lance Stroll: "We had a good Sprint today. On the Soft compound, we were able to make up some initial positions but then got stuck in a DRS train. It is difficult to make progress given how close the midfield is and the way the Softs dropped off towards the end. We will gain a position on the grid for tomorrow's Grand Prix due to [Valtteri] Bottas's penalty, so that is one place closer to the points. We are understanding more about this new package as well, especially after a strong practice session earlier today."

Sebastian Vettel: "I think [Alex] Albon was a bit optimistic when we were fighting in Turn Six and slid into me, which cost us the chance to bank a decent grid position for tomorrow. I made it out of the gravel, but the car had some damage. It means I will start tomorrow's race almost where we started today. It is a shame because we made some good progress in the early laps and I think starting on the Softs was the right decision. There is still a long race ahead of us and we will try our best to move up the order tomorrow."

Mike Krack, Team Principal: "Lance managed his Sprint very well. Like Sebastian, he was one of the few runners to start on the Soft compound, and he looked after those tyres, chasing down Albon and both McLarens. He finished 14th on the road but gained a position due to Albon's five-second penalty. That puts him in a solid position for tomorrow. Sebastian made a good start and was able to quickly catch Albon. He made a fair move around the outside of Albon into Turn Six, but Alex ran wide and his front-right tyre rubbed against Sebastian's left-rear, spinning him into the gravel. Sebastian was able to continue, but we could see his car had suffered some bodywork damage, and we felt the safe thing to do was retire him. From our grid positions today, we showed we can make progress, and we feel we can once again challenge the cars ahead in tomorrow's Grand Prix."

https://www.pitpass.com/73063/Austrian-GP-Sprint-team-notes-Aston-Martin

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Williams

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: The Sprint was very frustrating. We chose an aggressive strategy for both cars and showed some decent pace. However, a penalty for Alex was very penalising and undid a lot of the good work from yesterday. Overall, it was a very busy Sprint with numerous incidents, and this has at least confirmed that a lot can still happen tomorrow.

Alex Albon: We had a good start but then had to avoid a crash so lost a few positions, which was frustrating. I don't regret the tyre choice; we were generally struggling with pace out there, especially when we were following other cars and the wind changed quite a lot which didn't help us. We were better when we were in clean air, but we know what we can do better for the race. I feel the penalty I got was a little harsh. I'm braking in a sensible place and I wasn't trying to push anyone off, I'm staying away as much as I can. But I feel when you put yourself on the outside with a car with limitations, you're putting yourself at risk. It's a shame because we lost a few places with that penalty. It was a tough race for us today, but we'll fight back tomorrow and hopefully come back stronger.

Nicholas Latifi: Not the result we wanted today. I felt after the second lap that the tyre could be a struggle. However, we made a decision as a team to go for it and to try that tyre. It didn't feel bad in practice, but we need to understand why it didn't work as well in the Sprint. We had nothing to lose, so we'll reset and see what we can do tomorrow.

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN showed good pace in today's Austrian Grand Prix Sprint Race, with Valtteri Bottas finishing in P10 and Zhou Guanyu making an impressive recovery from a pit lane start to 14th place.

With Valtteri poised to start from the back due to a power unit change, Zhou will gain another position to start in P13, with a very good shot at the points.

Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "Today saw both our drivers show good pace, and we have set ourselves for a chance of points in tomorrow's race. Valtteri had great reflexes to avoid a tangle just in front of him, and was able to close in to the top ten ahead: he made good progress, although he will have to start from the back tomorrow, having changed the power unit earlier in the weekend. Zhou's performance was remarkable, going from the pit lane to 14th at the flag while showing really good speed. It was a really good comeback after a difficult Saturday: if we are able to replicate tomorrow the speed we had today, he will be well within the battle for the points.

 I am confident we still have a role to play with both cars in tomorrow's race and I'm looking forward to seeing how the race unfolds."

Valtteri Bottas: "It was a good drive with some nice battling, but we ran out of laps to make it higher than tenth - it's a shame the points only go down to eighth! We struggled a bit in the beginning, with a slight engine issue, but in the end we had better pace than the Haas, even though we were still a bit too slow on the straights - probably a bit too much wing. Tomorrow should be a completely different kind of day, starting from the back: it will be a longer race but I am confident we can make up ground. The pace is there and I absolutely think we can make it to the points: you never know what can happen."

Zhou Guanyu: "At the end of the formation lap, right before the last corner, my engine suddenly switched off. That was very strange, and the first time happening to me; I had to do the whole switch-off procedure, and that took a bit longer but luckily, we got going again.

 Apart from that, the race has been very enjoyable for me, it was a good comeback from last week's crash, and I managed to confidently attack and move up the grid. We showed very strong pace overall, and I am quite happy with how the car was performing today. I am happy with my starting position for tomorrow's race, it's what we were aiming for after qualifying. We need to understand what happened today in the formation lap, but I am confident for tomorrow, I reckon we have a good chance to battle for points."

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Haas

Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher finished Saturday's 23-lap Sprint race in P7 and P9 respectively, with both drivers subsequently assuming those positions on the grid for Sunday's 71-lap Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.

With the initial Sprint start being aborted - a second formation lap meant the afternoon's race was immediately reduced to 23 laps from the planned 24. Magnussen and Schumacher launched off the line from P6 and P7 - both utilizing the Pirelli P Zero Yellow medium tires. They successfully held their positions through to lap nine when the charging Sergio Perez (Red Bull Racing) maximized his DRS (Drag Reduction System) to overtake Schumacher for P7 at Turn 3. The Mexican then picked off Magnussen for P6 two laps later at the same spot.
Once again both VF-22s demonstrated good race pace - Magnussen having earlier been pushing the Alpine of Esteban Ocon. Battle then ensued with the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton as the seven-time world champion closed in on Schumacher in P8 in lap 11. With Magnussen losing the DRS to Ocon ahead, he held on to P7 with Schumacher and Hamilton directly behind locked in the fight for P8, both with their DRS in play - the trio of cars now providing much of the entertainment as they pushed each other around the short 4.318-kilometer (2.683-mile), 10-turn circuit. 10 laps later Hamilton eventually passed Schumacher for P8 and while he closed the gap to Magnussen over the final two laps with his DRS, the Dane took the checkered in P7 just 0.9s ahead. Magnussen earned two points for his efforts with points in the Sprint being awarded down to eighth place.

Kevin Magnussen: "I didn't expect that we would be able to do that, especially after this morning in practice. It didn't look good, it didn't feel good, so we made some changes but the cars are under parc ferme so it's very limited to how much you can change. The changes worked and the pace was more of less back for the race. We've got two points so I'm very happy and we can certainly fight for points tomorrow given yesterday's performance. I'm looking forward to another try tomorrow."

Mick Schumacher: "I think the battle with Lewis was quite fun. It's surprising to see that we were able to fight for that long, and even the Red Bull behind us wasn't that much quicker, so that was a nice feeling. I think that we could've had points today but we didn't."

Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "Following a little bit of a troubled FP2 where we weren't where we wanted to be with the balance of the car, the guys did a great job to put the car in a place where it was performing in the Sprint race. Both drivers did a good job, Kevin was the only one who brought back points, but that was thanks to the help of Mick. He first held off Perez and then Hamilton for a long time. It was very cool to see Mick holding off a seven-time world champion. It was very good team work and I'm pleased with the result, hopefully we can do something similar tomorrow again and get both cars in the points."

Austrian GP: Sprint team notes - Pirelli

Red Bull's Max Verstappen converted pole position into sprint race victory at the Red Bull Ring over 23 laps (the race distance was reduced by one lap after an extra formation lap was added). The top four finished in grid order, with Verstappen taking his second consecutive sprint win this year.

He used the P Zero Yellow medium tyre from start to finish, with all the teams apart from Aston Martin and Williams (which used the P Zero Red soft) making the same choice. Conditions remained dry and quite cool, with 26 degrees ambient and 34 degrees of track temperature at the end of the race.

The performance gaps between the compounds here is estimated at around 0.3 seconds between P Zero White hard and medium (although there has been very little running on the hard so far) and 0.4 seconds between medium and soft.

According to our theoretical calculation based on the average data from all the teams, the quickest strategy on paper for the 71-lap Austrian Grand Prix tomorrow is going to be a one-stopper from medium to hard.

For cars starting out of position, starting on the hard isn't out of the question either, leaving a choice between the soft and the medium for the final stint.

A two-stopper is slower under normal circumstances, but the best way to do it would be using all three compounds: medium, hard, then soft.

There's a reasonably high safety car probability here, on a tight and unforgiving track, so that could influence a two-stopper.

Tomorrow there's a bit of rain forecast for the morning, which shouldn't affect the race, but will influence the track's condition.

 Track temperatures are expected to be broadly similar to today, so the data collected from the sprint today will be very relevant.

Mario Isola: "Today the teams were able to get some useful long run data on the medium during the sprint: good information for the race tomorrow, which looks likely to be a medium to hard one-stopper, as also confirmed by the performance of the tyres today. Both compounds performed well, with the medium being the more conservative choice that made it the most popular option for the sprint this afternoon.

 The soft was chosen by four drivers starting from further down the grid, and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll used it well to make up four places."

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXQAIovWYAA9zu1.jpg:large)

La pude ver repetida (tras un dia un tanto mierdi para mi) y bueno, al menos me pareció entretenida, porque es verdad que este circuito, cuando los coches van a poca distancia, siempre da entretenimiento en su sector S2.

Pero coincido en que es, eso, un mero entretenimiento (cuando lo es) que no aporta nada.

Tambien me sorprendió que Albon se llevase sanción por su primera acción y nada por el toque a Vettel. El mundo al reves.

Fué bonito ver a Carlos tan agresivo con su compañero, aunque siempre con muchisimo respeto. Ferrari ya se tiene que dar cuenta de que el formato "dos pilotos muy buenos" les va a acabar dando problemas, cuando se lucha por el campeonato de pilotos al menos.. Porqué ocurrió lo esperado, para cuando resolvieron su "escaramuza", Verstappen ya estaba comodamente solo fuera del alcance del DRS. O Ferrari se replantea su estrategia de ataque para hoy, o les va a pasar exactamente lo mismo.

Por lo demás, muy guapa la remontada de Perez y lo mismo con Hamilton tanto tiempo detrás de un Mick que se beneficiaba del DRS de su compañero (si se lo hubieran currado un poco mas, igual Hamilton no hubiese llegado). Quejas incluidas de Ham por radio, como no, pero oye mola verle currar desde la parte de atrás. Diria que como un "working class hero" pero viendo como viste... ;D

Me dió pena por Fernando (no sabia nada de nada cuando me puse la carrera) pero esas declaraciones hacen que desaparezca cualquier indicio de empatia por mi parte.

Espero estar para la carrera, que promete, hasta aqui mi chapa mañanera café en mano.

PD: me imagino que se volverá al anterior foro cuando se resuelvan los problemas pero este no está nada mal.

Más cambios en el coche de Bottas. Ha montado su quinto turbo y MGU-H y han realizado cambios en el alerón trasero y la suspensión, por lo que saldrá desde el pit lane.

Parece que los de Alpine todavía no tienen claro a qué se debieron los problemas eléctricos que tuvo Fernando ayer. Le han cambiado la unidad de potencia por precaución. Ocon también tuvo problemas eléctricos al terminar la sprint race.

Fernando suffered an electrical issue on his A522 yesterday, the root cause of which is still being investigated. We suspect a possible failure of the standard electronic control unit, energy storage control unit or any of the electrical wiring on the chassis or power unit.

As a precaution for today's race, the team has decided to install a new SECU, switch boxes, electrical looms and power unit in Fernando's car. He will start today's Grand Prix from the back row of the grid.

After the chequered flag during yesterday's Sprint, Esteban stopped on track with a suspected electrical issue on the high-pressure fuel pump. The part has been replaced for today's Grand Prix, and for future races, the team is actively pursuing a root cause fix.

Impresiones de los equipos después de la Carrera:

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Red Bull

Max Verstappen: "We were just a bit too slow today, we were doing the best we could with the strategy but the Ferraris were extremely fast.

 Of course, we need to understand why we had so much degradation with the tyres, I'm not sure exactly what happened, no matter which compound we used none of them seemed to work well. Although we didn't win today, we still walked away with a lot of points. In difficult moments you need to score points and we did that today. It was incredible to receive the support I did from the fans this weekend, but I've been hearing a few shocking things. It's clearly wrong and what's been happening is not right at all - I shouldn't need to say this on a weekend that should be a celebration of Formula One at our home race."

Sergio Perez: "It was a big shame that we had our race ended so early.

 I had the whole race ahead of me and I thought I had good opportunities coming my way, so it was very painful. We had a lot of damage to the car and we were going nowhere so we had to retire. I gave all the room I could to George on lap one, there was enough room for both cars not to crash and unfortunately, we ended up colliding, I don't know what else I could have done. Today has hurt us in both Championships and hopefully we can recover the ground. It has been the same way all season, sometimes we are quicker and sometimes Ferrari are. It is still very close but today they were clearly the quicker car. We need to look forward now, the season is long and hopefully we can come back stronger in the coming weekends."

Christian Horner: "We scored some really important points today but it just wasn't meant to be for us. Congratulations to Ferrari, although they were unlucky with Carlos, they had the faster car for the majority of the race which gave them more strategic options but Max's tyre deg was higher from halfway through the first stint and it was hard to combat that. Over the two races this weekend, we've only given away five points to Ferrari but obviously we're really disappointed for Checo today. There was so much damage to his car from George that there was no chance for him to score any points and we had to retire him and save the mileage. We'll do everything we can to bounce back in France, we're still ahead but we know how quickly things can change and we need to keep pushing. We are shocked to hear that there have been some incidents of abusive behaviour in the grandstands and the fan parks. We stand united with every member of the F1 community in condemning this. We value inclusion and want a safe space for fans to enjoy our sport."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Mercedes

Lewis took his third podium finish in three races after a strong recovery drive from his P8 starting position. He made two stops, initially for Hard tyres, then converted to a two-stop strategy - but the potential upside was neutralised by the VSC that allowed the cars ahead to pit.

George had contact on lap one with Perez, damaging his front wing and was given a five-second penalty. George therefore took an early stop and changed the wing, plus served his penalty, before beginning his recovery drive through the field from P19 - picking off numerous rivals on his way back to P4.

The team now has 237 points in the constructors' championship, with 7 podium finishes so far.

Lewis Hamilton: First, I want to say a big thank you to the women and men in the garage who worked so hard to rebuild the car. I needed a brand-new car on Saturday morning, unfortunately. That's something I don't do often, but I'm just thankful for how hard everybody worked.

 It was tough in the Sprint yesterday, but today felt better. We had decent pace at different points of the race, even if I was racing a little bit in no-man's land. It's been a bit of a rough weekend for the team - but I'm grateful we got third and fourth today. That's great points, and we have improved the car. Now we need to keep chipping away to get back to the front.

George Russell: I started P4 and finished P4 - and probably would have taken that before the race. But I'm a little disappointed at how everything unfolded. On lap one, Checo dived down the outside at Turn Four, then took a tight line. I had Sainz ahead and had to get up on the apex kerb. I thought the penalty was harsh - for me it was a racing incident. But after that, we optimised the race well from lap two. Looking at the positives: we had a 20 second pit stop at the start - and finished around 15 seconds behind the podium; I came back through the field from P19 to P4; and we maximised as a team. Now we need to get our heads down and keep pushing.

Toto Wolff: We always seem to be in two minds at the end of the races right now. We must accept P3 and P4 today. And when you think we had two cars in pieces on Friday afternoon, that's a strong result. But we are missing the two or three tenths to be able to race at the front.

We have glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel with the car - then it disappears again, and we need to get on top of that. Today, over a race stint, we looked more competitive than yesterday. But we had two drivers needing to put in strong recovery drives, after incidents in the Sprint and in the opening laps. It was good to see Charles on the top step. He's had a lot of bad luck, and it looks like the fight is on at the front. Now we need to work on the car to close the gap to the teams ahead, then see how we can get in the mix.

Andrew Shovlin: It's been a very tough weekend in the garage but very satisfying to come away with third and fourth positions. We felt that George's penalty for the incident with Sergio was harsh. He was up on the apex kerb and left more than enough room. We had to change the front wing after the contact, so it made for a very long stop. He had to pass through the field twice but raced superbly and maximised the opportunity. Similarly, Lewis had rather a lot to do in the first stint due to his start position. Once he was through the midfield cars he had good pace but by then the gap to Charles and Max was way too big to chase so we just focused on bringing the car home. This hasn't been a track that has suited us in recent years. Despite lacking a little pace to Ferrari and Red Bull, we're encouraged by the fact we're moving in the right direction and have more to come in the next few races. We have a busy few days ahead at the factory to recover the situation on car parts, this weekend has not been great in that regard! But we'll pull that back in time for Paul Ricard and are looking forward to a track that should suit the car.

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Ferrari

Charles Leclerc is back in the winner's circle after the Austrian Grand Prix at Spielberg, to give Scuderia Ferrari its fourth win of the season, the second in a row, after Carlos Sainz finished on the top step in Silverstone last Sunday. Unfortunately, today the Spaniard had to stop with a power unit problem 15 laps from the finish. A brilliant drive left him on the verge of passing Max Verstappen to take second, to secure what would have been a very well-deserved one-two. It was a good way to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the first appearance of the Prancing Horse emblem on the Scuderia's cars way back in 1932, with the old-style badge displayed on both F1-75s here in Austria.

The Scuderia went for a decidedly aggressive strategy, based on the cars' excellent race pace. Charles overtook Verstappen on track three times and Carlos was equally aggressive. Both men pushed hard right from the start which forced their rival into quickly wearing out his tyres and making an earlier than planned pit stop. This gave Charles the edge, running a different strategy to the Dutchman, always catching his rival on fresher tyres so that he was able to pass him relatively easily. After the second pit stop, Leclerc was back in the lead. Then, as Carlos came up behind the Dutchman, he had to retire with a power unit problem that brought out the Virtual Safety Car. The team reacted immediately, bringing Charles in for a set of Medium tyres, as did his rival, who despite a throttle pedal problem on Charles' car, was unable to get close enough to the number 16 F1-75 to pass. This is the Scuderia's 242nd win, the sixth in Austria. It is the fifth of Charles' career which, on the list of Ferrari winners, puts him equal with Gerhard Berger, Carlos Reutemann and Alain Prost.

The Scuderia returns home having enjoyed a very successful pair of races, reducing the gap to its rivals in both the Constructors' and Drivers' championships. The world championship resumes in a fortnight with another pair of back-to-back races, the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet on 24 July, followed by the Hungarian race at the Hungaroring, after which comes the summer break.

Charles Leclerc: Every win is special, but this one feels just amazing. The last 15 laps were on the limit with the issue we had, but we brought it home.

Today, we had a really strong pace and some great battles. I worked hard last night to find where I could still improve and it made the difference today. I'm very happy!

Carlos Sainz: It's difficult to find the right words today, as it was clear that a one-two was pretty straightforward. I had strong pace today, especially on the hard tyre. Degradation was very high but we managed it well. On the last stint the car felt really good on track until we obviously had the issue and we had to retire.

Today's result is a hard one to take as it cost the team and myself an important number of points for both championships. On the positive side, I'm feeling better and better in the car, more comfortable every race, and this keeps me motivated. We are fast, and this is what's matters the most. Congrats to Charles for the win! We'll keep pushing!

Mattia Binotto, Team Principal & Managing Director: There are a lot of positives we can take home from today's race. We have secured our second consecutive Grand Prix win, which confirms that we are doing a good job with a car that is proving to be competitive at every track.

 Our management of all aspects of this race went well, from our detailed preparation, even after yesterday's Sprint and I think we made all the right decisions in terms of strategy, running an attacking race right from the start. That meant we were able to put Verstappen under pressure, forcing him into a defensive race. The mechanics carried out five very quick pit stops and the drivers executed everything we asked of them prior to the race and managed the tyres very well.

Charles drove like a lion, overtaking Max on track no fewer than three times and Carlos looked like doing the same which would have resulted in a well-deserved one-two finish. Of course we are very disappointed for him, but I'm sure he will fight back in the upcoming races. We are still suffering with reliability problems, we know what they are and we must make every effort to solve them as soon as possible. I am sure we can do it, but after a performance like today's, I want to congratulate the whole team, here at the track and back in Maranello, where all the departments did such a great job over the winter.

Austrian GP: Race team notes - McLaren

Lando Norris: "A positive day, we went forward a good few positions and scored some decent points. I made a couple of mistakes with the track limits and ended-up with a five-second penalty, which probably hurt us. I should have been P6 but, apart from that, a solid day. The pace in the car was reasonable and we got the points that we wanted, so happy in the end. We just need to keep improving and keep pushing for next time. Big thanks to everyone for working so hard at the track and back home, we made a good recovery from Friday to score some decent points"

Daniel Ricciardo: "Obviously the target was points. I think, as a team, we're happy with that. It's a lot better than where we were Friday, so to get double-points is good for us. I was struggling with the left-front on the first stint as I'd had a lock-up into turn one, and put us a bit on the back-foot. So it didn't feel as good as yesterday. We then struggled more with the front, particularly front-left, even without the flat-spot, but I think we did well to get what we could today. I would have loved to have got Magnussen, but we've got to take what we can today. More points, bit of damage-limitation, so pleased with that."

Andreas Seidl, Team Principal: "Scoring with both cars is a good outcome from a tough Sprint weekend here in Spielberg. Starting P10 and P11 after a good recovery yesterday, the objective today was simply to move further forward. Finishing P7 and P9 in the Austrian Grand Prix is satisfying after starting the weekend on the back foot with several issues on Friday.

"Thanks to Lando and Daniel for showing great fighting spirit. Same for the team who worked hard this weekend - as they have all through this back-to-back sequence. Today we executed a clean race, which got us where we needed to go. Thanks to everyone here trackside, and back at the factory, together with our colleagues at HPP, for helping secure eight valuable points in our Constructors' Championship battle.

 A short break now to rest, reset and analyse our performance before we go again in France. We're looking forward to Paul Ricard."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Alpine

BWT Alpine F1 Team finished today's Austrian Grand Prix with both drivers in the points as Esteban Ocon celebrated his 100th Formula 1 race start in style with a fifth-place finish with Fernando Alonso climbing from the back row of the grid to the points with an excellent comeback drive.

The team remains fifth in the Constructors' Championship on 81 points, level with McLaren.

Esteban's comfortable fifth place after executing a two-stop strategy brings his best race result of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season after progressing from his sixth-place grid slot.

After replacing a number of parts on the car after yesterday's starting grid issues, Fernando propelled from the back row of the grid to tenth at the chequered flag. It's the second time this season Fernando has progressed from the final row to the points after doing so in Spain earlier in the year.

Esteban's race was largely uneventful as he benefitted from the retirements of Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz to go from sixth to fifth. Esteban started on Mediums and pitted on laps 16 and 44 for Hards to take him to the flag.

After starting on Hards, Fernando pitted on lap 27 for Hards, lap 57 for Mediums under the Virtual Safety Car and again as a precaution a lap later after feeling vibrations in the car.

The next race in two weeks' time sees the team gear up for its home race - the French Grand Prix - at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Esteban Ocon: "What a day, what a weekend! I think we really maximised the pace of the car today when it really mattered. It was a great way to cap off my 100th Grand Prix in Formula 1. There were some good fights on the track today, but in the end George [Russell] was too quick and fifth position was the best we could have achieved. We go home with some very good points after this weekend, moving up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship and now level with McLaren in the Constructors' Championship. As a team we are moving in the right direction and we have momentum on our side going into Paul Ricard, one of the team's home races, and of course mine as well. It should be an incredible weekend and I can't wait to be back in front of the home fans in two weeks' time."

Fernando Alonso: "One point is better than nothing considering we started on the back row today. I think it was one of my best races this season, other than probably at Silverstone last weekend. I think we were fighting for sixth or seventh positions, but then there were some strange vibrations on the tyres we fitted after our second stop under the Virtual Safety Car. As it was still under the VSC, we decided to stop again for another new set of tyres. Unfortunately, we lost some positions with this extra pit-stop and had to fight back on the last few laps. In the end we managed to take tenth position.

 Ultimately, only one point from this race feels a little bit of a shame for me, but we can be very happy with our overall pace and performance as a team this weekend."

Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal: "Firstly, congratulations to Esteban for marking his 100th Formula 1 Grand Prix start by scoring ten points in fifth place. He thoroughly deserved that after driving so well today and executing a very good two-stop strategy. By scoring so highly, combined with yesterday's effort in the Sprint, it means the team is continuing its momentum forwards after delivering some good upgrades at recent events. Fernando too drove exceptionally well to put behind yesterday's disappointment and go from the back of the grid through to a points-scoring position. We had some reliability issues this weekend, which means we cannot leave Austria feeling completely satisfied. We must focus on getting on top of these issues so we can have a trouble-free second half of the season. We clearly have a quick car, but we must also ensure all operational issues of the team are performing to a high standard, so we continue to score good points with both cars."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Aston Martin

Lance Stroll: "My start was decent, and I could hold position and battle with the McLarens early on. I also had some good wheel-to-wheel moments out there with cars on different strategies, which was fun.

However, it was tricky to keep the faster cars behind. It would have been nice to have come away with a point or two after a strong recovery drive yesterday, but we have to keep pushing and will try and return to the points in France."

Sebastian Vettel: "It is disappointing to be pushed into the gravel again [after the contact with Alex Albon yesterday]. This time it was [Pierre] Gasly and it almost feels that there is a target on my car! I had made a good move on the outside and was ahead leaving plenty of space. I think he was just a bit too keen, ran into me, and I was off in the gravel. The car was not in the best shape after that and my race was pretty much done. Before that it was a tricky race because I was hit by some debris on the first lap, which may have damaged the car. We were not very competitive on the Hard tyres at the start, but the Medium was better and we were working our way through the field until the contact with Pierre. I think we have had quite an unlucky weekend so let's just turn the page and focus on the next race in France."

Mike Krack - Team Principal: "With Lance starting 12th, we felt there was a reasonable chance to score points this afternoon. He drove well today, despite our car struggling a little for performance. He climbed as high as fifth during the first phase of the race, managed his first set of tyres for 30 laps, and enjoyed a spirited tussle with [George] Russell and [Mick] Schumacher. Sebastian was unfortunate. He was climbing through the field and had just pulled off a well-judged pass when he was tapped into the Turn Four gravel - a move that rightly earned Gasly a five-second penalty. From that point, there was not much else he could do. Once again, we brought two cars home reliably - which is a great testament to the hard work of the mechanics - and we will be aiming to score points in France and Hungary before the summer break."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - AlphaTauri

Pierre Gasly: "I think we can write off this weekend, we just didn't have the pace. I haven't seen the footage yet, but I obviously received a penalty in the race, so I guess I'm the one to blame for the incident with Sebastian. I tried to fight as hard as I could, it's always tricky in that corner and unfortunately he spun. We need a big reset, we've got a week and a half to try and understand why we were slow and then learn what we can do to improve in the upcoming races. Hopefully the new package allows us to move forward and be competitive in the midfield again."

Yuki Tsunoda: "It's been really tough, that was a long race. I had no pace at all this weekend and have really struggled since FP2, with the car sliding all over the place. We need to go away and look at what the issue may be, as we've not seen anything in the data that explains why this weekend has been so difficult. I gave it my everything today and there wasn't much more I think I could've done in terms of my personal performance in this situation but overall, this has been the hardest race weekend we've had so far this year."

Jody Egginton (Technical Director): "A very difficult race for us today, as we weren't able to make any progress. Additionally, on Pierre's side we had a couple of penalties which set us back further.

 It was clear early on that it was going to be a two-stop race, so we brought Pierre in to try and move forward with that, however he hit a bit of traffic, holding him up, and from then on it was tough.

 Likewise with Yuki, we tried to get him in a stronger position through the stops, but he didn't have the pace today. We've been on the backfoot all day and unfortunately have come away with nothing.

 We've got a lot to review back at base. Now our focus is to get our updates to the car ready for the French Grand Prix and get ourselves back in to the midfield fight."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Williams

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: Today was a good recovery after the result yesterday. Alex drove well and the strategy worked well. Having got into the top 10 with only 10 laps to go, it was disappointing to miss out on a point. However, we had been battling with Bottas since the first pitstop and it was a tight race that could've gone either way. At least we got a full race completed with the updated car, which gives some data to go through before we run again in France.

Nicholas suffered with some floor damage early in the race, which cost him a lot of downforce and made the car very difficult to drive. As the damage worsened, we elected to retire him before more significant damage occurred.

After the damage done in Silverstone last week, to come straight to the Red Bull Ring and for Alex to be competitive throughout the weekend and for Nicholas to continue his good qualifying performance, is a good result for the entire team who worked very hard to get us back into this position.

Alex Albon: It was a fun race. We took risks, we were bold and I had to push a little bit too hard on the tyres to keep up with Valtteri as he was a little bit quicker than us, so I knew what I was doing wasn't kind to the tyres but I was trying to stay close to him. You risk and you push to fight for points and today it didn't quite work out for us, but I still feel it was a good race. The whole race we were more or less matching the McLarens, we hit a bit of traffic here and there but I was really happy with our pace and we've definitely made a step forward this weekend. It was the first proper race with the new aero upgrade that we have and there's a lot learnt from today so we can look at the data and come back stronger in France.

Nicholas Latifi: We sustained floor damage from running over some debris at the start of the race and I ran wide on one curb. Towards the end of the first stint I could feel the balance getting worse. Beginning of the second stint there was a lack of downforce and pace.

 The decision was to retire the car to save the engine mileage and we'll be ready to go again In France.

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN nearly completed a pit-lane-to-points comeback at the Austrian Grand Prix, as Valtteri Bottas finished 11th and Zhou Guanyu 14th in a hectic race at the Red Bull Ring.

Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "It's been a difficult weekend for us, and to nearly come away with a point despite all that happened shows the attitude of this team. With Valtteri starting from the Pit Lane and Zhou in P13, we knew we had a tough job ahead of us if we wanted to come away with a good result, and we very nearly did. It was a hectic race, with lots of battling and action - a great advertisement for our sport: for the team, we had nearly delivered a great comeback, but the tyre advantage Alonso had on the final lap was too much for Valtteri to overcome, and Zhou's penalty really put an end to his hopes of points. It's disappointing to leave without a point, but we will regroup and aim to start scoring again in France."

Valtteri Bottas: "I was hoping for points today, that was the target, and it's a bit disappointing to be finishing just outside the top ten.

 In the last lap, Fernando was closing the gap pretty fast with a new set of tyres, and ultimately got me. Besides that, I think it was a good race, also strategy-wise, and we did everything we could given where we started: we just lacked a bit of pace, especially through the corners. At least, I managed to climb up the grid from a pitlane start, so that's a positive to keep. We must keep progressing, since the other teams are doing so as well. I reckon France could be better for us, but we will need to qualify in better positions than we did here to maximise our chances come Sunday."

Zhou Guanyu: "I feel we had a lot more potential in our car this weekend, so I am not happy with this result. We looked strong yesterday, but today we spent the first part of the race stuck in a train and then struggled with the hard tyre. Once we switched to the mediums, I was a lot more at ease and I felt we were competitive, but by then it was too late to make it back into the points. The pace we showed in the Sprint yesterday and in the final stint today is a positive to keep, as well as the mileage that does help with my overall experience. I had some fun battles and enjoyed the close racing we had, but I wanted more from this weekend."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Haas

Haas F1 Team finished the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday squarely in the points with Mick Schumacher sixth and Kevin Magnussen eighth at the Red Bull Ring - the second straight weekend the American outfit has banked double points.

Both drivers started on the Pirelli P Zero Yellow medium tires and each gained a position respectively when Sergio Perez was spun off by George Russell, slotting Magnussen into sixth and Schumacher eighth.

 Magnussen came in on lap 16, taking on White hard tires, with Schumacher following on the next tour. As the race bedded in Schumacher then passed Magnussen on lap 33 on the start-finish straight to place the German sixth with the Dane seventh.

Magnussen, who was experiencing a power unit issue, pitted again on lap 41, taking on another set of hard tires, before Schumacher came in on lap 43, also for the hard rubber. That put both drivers in traffic but they worked their way through the opposition, moving up into sixth and seventh respectively. Schumacher took the checkered flag in sixth place, recording his highest Formula 1 finish to-date, while Magnussen classified eighth after being passed by Lando Norris.

The haul of 12 points, added to the two earned in Saturday's Sprint, gives Haas F1 Team a weekend reward of 14 points, its best team result since the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix.

Haas F1 Team moves into seventh place in the Constructors' Championship with 34 points.

Kevin Magnussen: "What a weekend for our team, it's really been great. Finally, we had a bit of luck, it kind of went our way after those four or five races recently that weren't good for us. It's hard not to get a little bit down about it but the last two races we've been lucky and we've had the pace, especially this weekend. I had a bit of an engine issue all race so I was just praying to God that it wouldn't blow up, which it didn't, so I'm super thankful for that so I could finish the race without a problem. We just had a great qualifying, a great Sprint and then a great race, so I'm super happy."

Mick Schumacher: "Fighting again with Lewis was fun. I felt a lot different compared to yesterday, obviously knowing that we had to take care of the tires. Quite soon I felt it wasn't going to be a one-stop race just because of the way the tires were behaving - the winds were very different and difficult to manage. It was tough out there but it's another double-points finish again after Silverstone, so everyone in the team can be very happy about the result. Being voted driver of the day as well is great so thank you to everybody."

Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "A fantastic result for the team today with a double-points finish and back in P7 in the championship. There was one little issue with Kevin's engine, but everything went as perfect as it can be. Thanks to the whole team for a big effort."

Austrian GP: Race team notes - Pirelli

Charles Leclerc won the Austrian Grand Prix, taking Ferrari to the top step of the podium once more, following his team mate's victory at Silverstone last week. This was Leclerc's first win since Australia.

 As was the case at Silverstone, it was another thrilling race featuring battles, strategies and surprises all weekend - with Leclerc ending the Austrian dominance of Red Bull driver Max Verstappen today, who had previously taken Friday's pole and then victory in the sprint race on Saturday.

Leclerc and Verstappen followed an identical strategy: an opening stint on the P Zero Yellow medium, followed by two stints on the P Zero White hard, and then a final stint on the medium, taking advantage of a virtual safety car.

The variety of the strategies underlined the performance of the tyres brought to Spielberg. With the Mercedes drivers finishing third and fourth on varying strategies (medium-hard-medium for Lewis Hamilton and medium-hard-hard for George Russell) there were three different tyre strategies seen in the top four.

Most drivers went for two pit stops, with some impressive battles all the way down the field: there was a five-way fight between Haas driver Mick Schumacher, Alpine's Fernando Alonso. Alfa Romeo's Guanyu Zhou, Haas's Kevin Magnussen, and McLaren's Lando Norris. All of them swapped positions over the course of nearly an entire lap, with completely clean yet thrilling action.

Only a week after claiming what had previously been his best F1 finish in eighth, Schumacher went two places better to finish sixth today, using a medium-hard-hard strategy.

Mario Isola: "We're happy with today's race. All three compounds showed versatility and performance on different cars and set-ups throughout the three days of this very specific sprint weekend, on a unique circuit like Spielberg. This comes one week after Silverstone: two circuits that couldn't be more different, but where the combination of cars and tyres both guaranteed a great show. The medium showed excellent performance, while the degradation on the hard was higher than expected today: probably because the teams didn't have time to try it out thoroughly in race conditions during free practice, due to the condensed nature of a sprint weekend. A lot of the degradation seen today was also down to traffic on this short lap, as when cars are battling they take more energy out of their tyres. I'm happy with all the positive comments about the work done by everyone here and back in our base at Milan but there's no time to rest: we remain at the Red Bull Ring for our latest 2023 development test, involving four teams that will share duties throughout Tuesday and Wednesday."

Cita de: GoVal en Jul 10, 2022, 09:52 PMMuchas ganas de ver las gráficas de llumia :-* con las últimas vueltas de Leclerc para ver si eran verdad sus problemas con el acelerador. 

Govy, ¿me podrías indicar el nº de vuelta a partir del que LEC se comenzó a quejar de problemas con el acelerador?

Pues no sé cuándo fue exactamente pero fue después de la última parada, cuando Verstappen comenzó a acercarse a él.

En las gráficas que has puesto la verdad es que se ve que acelera de manera diferente entre la vuelta rápida y sus dos últimas vueltas de carrera, así que sí que debió tener problemas de verdad.

Es que son todos tan mentirosillos, que no me fio ni un pelillo.  :laugh2:

Vamos a seguir investigando  ;D

Crearemos una comparativa "telemétrica" entre la última vuelta "lanzada" de la 2ª tanda de LEC (vuelta 57) y su penúltima vuelta (vuelta 70):

Mejor recurrir a la fuente (LEC):

"It was more or less at the same time [as Sainz retired]," Leclerc said. "So of course, I had it in my mind. I knew it was not a problem with the engine, because it was really the pedal that was feeling weird. First at pick up and then at the end it would not come back to zero.

"It was not only a little bit stressful, very stressful! The throttle was really inconsistent and in the middle of the corner it would get stuck to whatever percentage, so in Turn 3 it was very, very tricky because that's where you don't want any more speed in mid-corner."

Comenta LEC que sufrió "inconsistencias" con el pedal del acelerador, soltabas el pie del mismo, pero el acelerador seguía parcialmente acelerando.

En la siguiente comparativa "telemétrica" se muestra esa problemática, (rectángulos rojos):

(https://i.postimg.cc/8c7yDc46/throttle.png) (https://postimages.org/)

En este enlace se profundiza un poco más:

- La problemática comenzó en la siguiente vuelta tras finalizar el régimen de VSC.

- Era más problemático en curvas lentas que en las rápidas. Las 3 y 4 donde peor lo pasaba.

- Que fue tanteando cuánto podía aplicar de presión al pedal.

Llumia, muchísmas gracias por todas estas nuevas gráficas y las declaraciones de Leclerc, así como el artículo de The Race. :good:

La verdad es que tuvo que ser bastante incómodo conducir así. Viendo el problema, su victoria tiene más mérito y también da idea de lo superior que era el Ferrari aquí.

Una pena lo que le ocurrió a Sainz. Era un doblete más que seguro.
