I think as well, the start to the season last year showed what he can do if everything comes together for himMarcusH26 said:Stuart_the_Red said:

At the moment he puts too much pressure on himself and makes fairly rookie mistakes. Isn't helped by Ferrari Strategy calls being patchy but something isn't right there with him
However the moment something goes slightly wrong - He doubts himself.
Verstappen wasn't the finished article for a good while either, its crazy to remember that this is his ninth year in F1
Although his seventh year coincided with him winning his first title... Leclerc is a year away from that...1 -

Both Sainz and Leclerc are guilty of binning it multiple times in pressure situations, and that's compounded by Ferrari's inability to come up with any sort of decent strategy whatsoever. In the last 15 years they've had a car capable of winning the title 4 or 5 times, and have had people like Alonso and Vettel, multiple world champs, driving for them, and they still can't get one.
I agree Leclerc seems to have gone backwards, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ferrari make a huge offer for Hamilton to try and lead them to a WDC2 -

Red Bull wont mind that Perez is losing out to Verstappen but they will mind that he is not coming second when that happens. He needs to get his act together2

My sense is they’re not too bothered they are literally all about Verstappen and Perez underperforming helps both soften the ‘Red Bill’ domination cries and avoid in house conflict with Max. They’ll still walk the constructor championship regardless.1

I'd love to see Norris get a better car underneath him. I really think he could challenge1

Very sad to hear about Dilano van't Hoff
Young 18-year old Dutch Driver has been killed @ Spa in the Formula Regional Championship
Almost an identical crash to the one that saw Anthonie Hubert lose his life, not far from the very same place

Max gets pole for the super pointless Sprint race, Mercedes are lucky it's so pointless as they will start 15th and 18th1

Serious slice of luck for Olly Bearman in the feature race, with a late safety car rescuing his whole weekend with a 5th place from nowhere.1

Yeah good recovery on those Super Softs.superclive98 said:Serious slice of luck for Olly Bearman in the feature race, with a late safety car rescuing his whole weekend with a 5th place from nowhere.
He needs to sort out his Qualifying - It feels he's either starting from Pole, and winning the race... Or well outside the top ten, and barely getting points.
Shame about the VSC, reckon he'd have got P3 had that not happened
Been some good racing from the F3 and F2 this morning, before the fun of F1 later hmm1 -
Always make sure that I watch the F2 races and usually the F3, as definitely more entertaining than F1.ForeverAddickted said:

Crazy that there is less than a second between the top 9 in qualifying. I guess cutting the corners and going over the kerbs properly can be worth 2-3 places...0

Oh oh oh... there was a F1 race today during the cricket... let me have a guess who won?
I'll have a stab in the dark...
Was it Verstappen again?
Sigh.

FIA have just handed out a ton of retrospective penalties for track limits...
Top three survive... Either because there wasnt anything wrong (Perez seemed to take the piss a bit), or they're just scared of changing the podium positions
Ridiculous as I'm sure Ocon would have been warned for example, that he was close to further penalties, if he knew about track limit warningsPENALTIES FOR:
— Chris Medland (@ChrisMedlandF1) July 2, 2023
Sainz - 10 seconds
Hamilton - 10 seconds
Gasly - 10 seconds
Albon - 10 seconds
Ocon - 30 seconds
Sargeant - 10 seconds
De Vries - 15 seconds
Tsunoda - 5 seconds#F1 #AustrianGPBiggest moves there means Sainz down to P6, Norris up to P4 and Alonso P5.

Was Ocon driving the old layout or something? That's ridiculous and I'm surprised by Alpine not being all over him on the radio for it1

This is what seems so confusing, was there some kind of tech failure? Because Aston must have spotted something to go to the stewards in the first place. All seems very very odd.1 -
Unless Aston decided to take a chance, and lodge a random appealMarcusH26 said:ForeverAddickted said:

Merc pretty much did similar @ Abu Dhabi 2021, by claiming that Verstappen passed Hamilton ahead of the SC restart, but it got dismissed.
If that is the case, then I wont be surprised if the other teams lodged similar appeals at most tracks going forward.0 -
They have a tracker on the pitwall that has a list of times getting deleted.
Aston Martin went through it and went "hang on, Ocon had one penalty but his car number is on this list like 20 times" and lodged the appeal, realising they'll jump up the standings because of it1
