Are they at least gonna change it up and like race the track backwards or something? Or am I correct in seeing that we’re literally seeing the same race as last week?

EDIT: don’t get me wrong, im excited…its just the track is named different but the course layout/length is precisely the same according to formula1.com

As much as that would be great fun, it sadly isn’t going to happen. The “Grosser Preis Der Steiermark” is simply a renamed Austrian GP because there can only be one national GP on the season. Steiermark is the provincial region that the circuit is in - it translates to Styria, so this weekend is the Styrian GP.

I think the racing is going to be a bit different in that lots went wrong in last race(9 people did not even finish) and even the mercs had problems. and for that reason I think we going to get few surprises. Thinking most of the drivers will be pushing even harder and teams would be asking them to not use curbs.

@Wyvern you thought Vettel should retire?

Does that mean Valtteri will go back to Williams?

At this stage it’s all “leaks” though so it may be wrong. I read it at Reddit yesterday.

So it seems like Ferarri is moving up some of their upgrades to this weekend’s race. They had to I guess.
Hope it helps.

I also hope so. F1 needs a strong Ferrari team.

Ag goeie fok, as much as I like the guy, he needs to fuck off as well. I want more young blood in F1, this is silly, but then again he brings Renault a crap ton of money and publicity.

I think that’s probably the big reason why Renault would go for Alonso. That’s a lot of publicity and with publicity comes better sponsorship deals.

However, Alonso isn’t a person to not say what is on his mind and if Renault gives him a crappy car then it will be a lot of bad publicity.

It’ll be an interesting one. I really hoped it would have been Bottas.

I guess they have to to keep Orlen interested. I like the guy, but he is just not fast anymore.
