After calming down (yeah kinda still mad but not as clearly), here’s my post Austrian GP analysis (both sprint and race)

Haas are getting back slowly back in the right travk after a few missteps. In the sprint they were not great, but race, it’s a whole different story. Apparently the match last night did them gokd because Nico finishing 6th (!!!!) and Kevin finishing 10th after startung 9th and 12th. They’re getting back in the midfield game and we love it.

Alpine were not that great, but bkt that shit. Just okay and to be honest, their points this race was on pure merit and luck. But to stay in the contest, they need to focus and stop prioritising a driver on the other. We all know one is leaving NEXT year, but he’s still an Alpine driver for the 2024, and he still can and will score points.

VCARB are kind of a mixed situation. On one hand, Daniel qualified and raced really well this week but how will he do afterwards we don’t know , on the other , Yuki was a bit unluckywith quali and race but I have a feeling he’ll be back next week. Just hoping the car is there for him, because he deserves it so much.

Williams, now you can see when you give logan a proper set up and 2024 components with upgrades, he could do something. He has potential and again, your team’s legends will not be constantly supporting someone who doesn’t have potential. Give him a good set up and let’s hope for a Logan madterclass next week.

Ferrari just got lucky today, that’s all I can say. Their strategy with Charles after picking up damage was so bad, especially with the timings of the stops and I actually belive this cost him acorung points this week. As for Carlos, it was just luck on his side for this podium, but he didn’t do anything that was impressive or crazy.

Mercedes are improving and impressing me so much lately. Yes George’s win today was just pure luck. But this man has worked so hard, and has been doing his absolute best and deserves this win. And Lewis with his overtakes, keeping the head down in a car he’s finally confident in is something that is a joy to watch. Honestly Mercedes, good for you guys

Finally the last 2 teams that caused my mental health to be slumped in a fucking second.

First, the guys who were considerably normal, Oscar had a phenomenal race, and he was absolutely brilliant today, making up 5 places and ending on the podium fighting for the fight, man is a beast tbh and is a clean (in comparison and hindsight) racer. Checo had a phenomenal start, again in a car he’s not 100% happy with and with damage for 71 lap. Being able to pull this and drag a damaged car all this distance is absolutely impressive.

And now the obvious 2. Sprint wise, they noth had good sprints and hell, Lando pulled the move he attempted today cleanly and Max overtook on the next lap. As for today, Max was crazy good on hus first two stints. The speed, his driving, everything. But that last stint wasn’t great from its start, with a terrible pitstop (not going to set up hanging rope for the guys, the nut wasn’t budging and shit like this happens) to the used mediums and all. McLarern with Lando were not great in the first 2 stints, with the lack of apeed and grip, I mean he did get a clack and white flag and a part for that was in these stints, but then the last with the new mediums was pretty impressive. Though he was irrational in his moves, fatser car in that stint, and he has a black and whit flag, overtakes off track to get a 5 second penalty that was released late by the stewards, to pushing Max off the track to the accident. Now in the accident, both drivers were not faultless, but Lando did put his wing into Max’s tyres, and Max did loose a some grip and caused Lando some damage. But as Max said, he didn’t leave space for Lando to overtake because he knew Lando was going to tale him, even before knowing the penalty, and Max was defending to kind of prevent Lando from overtaking him (aka racing and fighting for the win). But even if Lando was wanted to overtake Max , he literally could have just waited mayve a lap or 2, maximum 3. We have a quote that says if the murderer waited for the murdered, the murdered would have died alone, which was the case for Lando on the fresher mediums. But what I think and ahies from his post race media statements is that Max should have just let him win, and since he didn’t, he decided after knowing he got the 5 seocnd penalty and his chances if basically winning almost nonexistent with Max, he was going to ruin Max’s race. Well it ruined both of theirs, and one ended up with points with the other dnfing and we don’t know if he served his penalty or will serve it in Silverstone as a three place grid penalty.

But yeah, Austria done and dusted, max and red bull gald extended (small wins) and Silverstone next. Hoping for a CLEAN good race for my boys especially. And a revenge against brits (both for today and the quotes that say Max and Red Bull are the reason ticket sales are low, not the crazy prices). Just upset because the orange army wasn’t able to be hally today, but I’m sure proud regardless

I will leave this in all its glory.
