How the hell did you manage that @Gail? You must have had Rosberg down for the win, traitor.....;)

No @hard top I had Hamilton for the win but I do have Rosberg as one of my drivers. I am more impressed that my score was number 30 out of 7127 globally for that race. :D:D:D
 
Oh and by the way.....I got every single one of my predictions WRONG!!!!
 
Anybody know an emergency carpenter. I need some door adjustments urgently :whistle:
 
ALL my predictions were wrong:(:(
 
every single prediction wrong!
only 10 driver race points and 10 qualy points, its me and my drivers that are rubbish!

might help if I could stay awake through the highlights!

As for all this crying over engine modes, just give them one , "Race Mode", turn the radios Off, and get on with it. No wonder I keep falling asleep!
 
OK F1 fans, here we go again....

Mercedes assess cars for qualifying
Suspension issue for Mercedes ahead of qualifying

Summary
  1. Mercedes assessing suspension ahead of qualifying after heavy Rosberg crash
  2. Five place grid penalty for Rosberg for gearbox change
  3. Mercedes appear to be struggling with tyre issue
  4. Vettel fastest in final practice, Raikkonen 2nd
  5. Qualifying at 13:00 (Don't forget your predictions)

Nico Rosberg has a five-place grid penalty.
Sebastian Vettel has a five-place grid penalty.

Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes had issues with rear-tyre blistering in third practice AND his team might be nervous about the broken wishbone on Rosberg's car repeating itself with Hamilton.

So, is it an opportunity for someone else to win the Austrian GP?

PROVISIONAL CLASSIFICATION: It's a Ferrari 1-2 in #FP3 Vettel of the timesheets ahead of #Quali #AustrianGP

That scary moment puts Rosberg in the very unfamiliar position of dead last in that session.

Summary
  1. Mercedes to compete after heavy Rosberg crash in practice
  2. Rosberg suspension appeared to fail as car ran over kerbs
  3. Five place grid penalty for Rosberg and Vettel
 
Plenty of plaudits to be handed out today.

Pascal Wehrlein for that P12.

Nico Hulkenberg for getting a place at the front of the grid.

Jenson Button for taking third on the grid.

But, let's hear it for the Mercedes garage, who used a lot of man power, a bit of knowhow, a splash of faith and I suspect a whole load of this stuff, to get Nico Rosberg on to the track.

Rosberg's nightmare means Verstappen is second - his second podium in F1 - and Raikkonen is third.
The most annoying thing about Rosberg not being on the podium is that we won't hear him "chat" with Hamilton in the cool down room.

Hamilton is doing his podium interview - you can barely hear him over the boos.

Here's race winner Lewis Hamilton in the podium interviews... what's he got to say after that?
"What an incredible race that was, it was incredibly tough."
There are boos as he speaks!

I want to hear what Nico Rosberg thinks of it as well. There was something there that just boiled over at Turn Two.

The boos are momentarily drowned out by the sound of popping champagne.
Hamilton drenches Verstappen ans Raikkonen in bubbles.

Edward Taylor: Nico 100% at fault for that crash.

Will Butler: Well that again proves that Nico is an idiot.

Sarah C: Lewis Hamilton should take no pride in that victory whatsoever. He is the worst kind of sportsman there is. About time he grew up!

David Nicholson Hirst: Mercedes-Benz have themselves to blame! Terrible sportsmanship from them! Hamilton deserved that one! Have it Niki Lauda.

Steve Collins: Lets all laugh at Nico Rosberg. Tried to be dirty again and its cost you. Should face a penalty for that. Well done Lewis Hamilton.
 
Wow what a race and JB did well :thumbsup:
