F1 2024: Austrian GP - Spielberg (June 30)

[Roman]

I can't top a perfect prediction with another one so, instead, I created this image (in Asseto Corsa) of Max drifting his way through Turn 1 at Spielberg.

Gravel traps have been added to the final two corners of the Red Bull Ring.

Landi pushed Max onto the grass in the last race and George took the lead

Let's not forget Max running Checo off the road twice, costing him places in the race... Had Checo done to Max, what Max did to Checo, every Max fan would have lost their mind. The two were fighting and neither came out of that sprint race innocent.

Just like LEW's 51G assassination attempt ?
LEW after the Silverstone race : I'll Do It Again ?!?!

Don't let truth get in the way of his bias.

Checo is a midfield racer . He isn't worth to drive with a RB20 .
Checo bought his own 2025 Red Bull 1+1 year contract.
Sponsored by the Mexican government corruption !

Horner after the Barcelona race : Contracts are meant to be broken .I'm pretty sure , this wasn't meant for MAX...
Yuki Tsunoda has a big chance to get Checo's seat before this season is over !
Why ?

Because Checo s@cks over and over again . In the QF's and races !
And because Tsunoda is Japan . And Japan is HONDA .

And yet, Max had to result to some pretty dirty tactics to keep said "midfielder" (who finished second in the sprint race in question) off his tail. Max's complete divebomb through turn 3 looked like a midfield driver tactic. And his move in turn 4 was definitely a d*ck move to pull on a teammate, costing Checo a place in the race, that he eventually earned back.

Max is the better driver, no doubt. Checo is a good driver when the car is set up to his liking and a mediocre one when the car isn't to his liking.

There is not much time to find the setup sweet spot by the Spielberg sprint race.
That won't be easy for the Red Bull Team with all the RB20 setup issues.

There is 85% chance that they will get a water ballet...

Tough for sure, sprint races make it tough. Checo marched from 15th to 3rd last year... doubt he'll be able to repeat a miracle like that again this year, so he better qualify well.

^ RB 20 is a nightmare for Serge now and I hope he finds a better set up but until this hard ride business is sorted it will be hard for him.

Just read chance of rain at race time is decreasing

Still can't believe B Gachot ended up in BRIXTON prison while at benetton ( I lived in a house two roads away which I sold recently) for defending himself from a pos taxi driver who attacked him on Marble Arch roundabout. The team that Jos joined later with Schumi as TM.

Max Verstappen in a Ford Mustang Mach E? Sad, bet you wont catch the Ferrari kids in no battery car.

Bad news boys.
FIA rolls out new AI system to help police track limits at Austrian GP
In 2023, eight drivers were handed a total of 12 penalties long after the race had finished, with a final race result not being delivered until some five hours after the provisional race classification had been published. That was due to there being over 1200 instances of potential track limits infringements that needed to be looked at by race control; the frequency being too quick and the process taking too long for it to keep up during the race itself.
Potentially the biggest difference, though, is the introduction of AI technology to increase the speed of reporting incidents. A blue line has been painted between the white line that denotes the track edge and the exit curb at multiple corners, allowing the automated technology to more easily identify when a car has clearly left the track. All four wheels across the white line will lead to blue being seen, and these incidents will then be instantly saved as clips and sent to race control to review, rapidly improving the amount of time it takes to make a judgement.
Race control will also have support from five personnel in the FIA’s Remote Operations Center (ROC) in Geneva.
