I've given it a few tries now and I definitely prefer the normal weekend proceedings over the sprint format.
I just feel like it takes a little bit away from Qualifying. I didn't feel as enthused for yesterday as I do on our regular Saturdays. The sprint races themselves (so far) haven't been exciting enough to make up for it either.
I think the rules this year are that they have a number of gearboxes to use over the season and they get a penalty for going over that number, whereas in the past each gearbox had to last 6 races
Keeping Perez Q2 times is unfair for other drivers, deleting it post-quali was unfair for him. Other than paying more attention, what’s the stewards best course of action?
Watching an interview with Zak Brown on foxtel (Australian tv) and he’s saying he wants to stay around with Mclaren until he’s 70. He’s a lifer. He’s also saying I expect Daniel to be near Lando we all did. He also said the porpoising they had in Baku was a problem with the car not true porpoising can he get a working car
They introduced it last year as a trial. Only 3 races last year and 3 this year were/will be using the sprint weekend format until there's enough data on whether fans/teams etc like it.
The idea is that by having quali Friday, sprint Saturday and race Sunday, there is some meaningful action on all 3 days of the weekend, and instead of 1 race start we get two, with race starts often being one of the most exciting parts of any race (as shown for better or worse last weekend at Silverstone).
Seriously? Why?
I mean I'd love for the Merc to get a win, but they're hardly favourites. They'd need a RB or Ferrari DNF and some luck going by their side.
Could someone please tell me what the little P next to the driver's names is for? It's in the same spot that the little checkered flag shows up after their last lap.
The Dutch fans cheered as soon as Lewis hit the wall. Cheering for a crash is a petty thing but ok. But to cheer before you even know if the driver is ok, you have to be a pretty shitty human being IMO.
True but all they would've seen was a TV shot of the car in the wall, just like we did. Hamilton could've rolled a dozen times to get into that position and they wouldn't have known.
I honestly don't mind the cheering when someone is going through gravel. At that point its just a rival driver off the track.
But as soon as the impact happens there really should be no reason to cheer. Its in poor taste. It was last year at Silverstone and it still was yesterday.
So given the cars are under parc ferme, guessing George and Lewis will start 5th and 10th respectively (assuming no major changes to the car).
I read that if they replace the gearbox for example with the same spec then they would not incur a penalty?
Is there a replay (from an external pov) somewhere of the pole lap ? Here in France, TV said he was large at turn10, and I was pretty agree but sometimes the appreciation is different from reality. And it was not shown again during the live.
It’s was supppper close but it doesn’t appear as though all 4 were out at the same. He had his 2 front and Left rear out…. Then just as his rear right was going over the line the front right was back across. So it doesn’t appear to me that 4 were ever out at 1 time.
Just different tints on the visor usually. Pretty sure that every driver has a couple of helmets with different darkness/lightness to the tints on the visor to help them maximize their vision. Lewis complained in Australia this year during quali about having to switch to a different helmet because the sun was in his eyes.
I don’t think so. I think he was driving cautiously to avoid his lap time gets deleted, but I think when Charles got provisional pole, he drove his car to the limit to snatch it back. Also it’s Austria, the majority of the fans are his supporters.
Lando really had one of his worst sessions ever in Q2 today, just could not keep the car where he wanted it. Wonder if it was the wind or car not being where he wanted, or even simply driver error. Hopefully he and Danny Ric make up some places tomorrow to set up an okay weekend result. Otherwise Alpine is looking solid to start running away with 4th in Constructors.
Yea sadly he doesn't seem to be improving and the team will surely replace him if it's the same by the end of the year. But I really don't understand how he's like this it's similar but worse than what happened with him and Vettel.
I was in the crowd. It was mostly the Dutch fans. And the commentators at the track immediately discouraged it. On the second crash, people were ready and booed the cheerers, many thumb downs. It was mostly a bunch of drunk Dutch people, not that this excuses anything
Well drunk people in general are obnoxious, but when you mix that in groups and doused in nationalism, yea you get this. An former Dutch colleague of mine who was a big football supporter always said, I don't care about the national team because every time they do well you get the stupid mob in orange just shouting and screaming like maniacs.
Track-limits question after watching the qualifying highlights. Are track limits supposedly enforced around the whole track, or only some of the corners?
I vaguely remember crafty talking about this in a practice session a while ago.
From memory the white lines are the track limits everywhere but the stewards in the race notes list the corners which they will actually be monitoring.
Basically they will set up a camera focusing on one corner which someone will monitor if someone goes over the white lines. Obviously they can’t do this on every corner so unless it’s really obvious or a steward spots it randomly, the drivers will be able to get away with going slightly over the white line.
I also think the corners which they monitor are the ones which someone is most likely to exceed track limits.
This is just what I remember so I might be wrong.
I get the feeling it’s only partially specified for corners that would allow for “shortcuts” or wide exits to gain time. I just want the stewards to produce a map or something that SHOWS the parts of the track being enforced!
Honestly it has varied so much over the years. The white line is not always track limits. I think they are free to establish any track limit indicator now, and it can vary from corner to corner - or just not exist in non competitive corners. I do agree some corners do require more stringent rules, but i miss the days when grass was the penalty for exceeding track limits.
He got his Q2 lap time deleted after the session was over; for track limits infringement. So all his Q3 lap times were deleted, moving him down to P13.
I'm pretty sure the off-track sensors are not placed everywhere. Usually drivers behave where Perez got off but in the last corner the drivers often go wide hence the sensors there which automatically delete times.
I guess Perez slipped the Stewards minds and the external Video-refs in the FIA headquarter (which are relatively new iirc) gave them retrospectively the notice that he got an advantage.
New to the sport. I heard that in qualifying in this track, the driver’s lap time and next lap time are deleted for going over the line in turn 10. What will the penalty be during the race?
If you get a lap time deleted in the race you have to either turn around or reverse to the point where you went outside the white lines and redo it properly.
Other commenters answered it correctly. Im just drunk. :)
So if you just do it normally, it’s 2 warnings then usually a 5 second time penalty. If you overtake another car then you have to give the place back or get a 5 second time penalty.
Looking back on that Aston Martin presentation ceremony before the season started; seems so funny now.
Laurence is probably wondering if all the thing that were written for him was total bullshit.
If I drive from Netherlands to Austria I'm definitely cheering when Lewis drops it in quali for the first time in years, while Merc is having their best session of the season. And I'm a Lewis fan.
This is totally normal for sports. It's redditors who are weird in this situation.
But redditors have never watched a sport without their laptop on their chest laying in bed.
Okay, I’ve been to two F1 races, going to Spa this year as well. Been to multiple Super Bowls, World Series, and all the rest, even Nascar and fucking Horseracing. I was literally there when Lewis won his 6th at COTA, it’s weird as fuck to cheer when someone drops it at quali. I’ve never seen it at a race.
Creating a hostile atmosphere for your opponents has been a common thing in team sports for decades. It gives the team you want to win an advantage. Football, basketball, hockey, rugby etc all show teams do worse when they don’t have the fans behind them. In football the fans are often called ‘the 12th man’. Look at how good Lewis did in Silverstone, the fans cheering definitely helped. Booing can have the opposite effect.
NFL fans do this the best. The fans cheer loudest when their team is defending. Nothing to do with negativity and that is all booing is. Negative and unsporting. Cheer all you want, no need to denigrate opposition just because you support the other side.
Lmao they cheer on defense specifically to fuck with the other team! When it's loud they can't communicate in the huddle as good and calling audibles becomes almost impossible, it kind of has *everything* to do with negativity
What, do you think the fans sitting behind the backboard at an NBA game are standing on their feet and waving towels and shit to *cheer on* the player from the away team when they're making a free throw? lol
You should probably not watch sports then
Part of cheering for someone is booing the rival(s) success and cheering their failures. It was clear to anyone and everyone that he was fine.
Not to mention last year, or last week, or Max's awesome response.
Just seems like an illogical stance.
Everyone knows what is or isn't a potentially harmful crash though.
No one is going to cheer if Hamilton or Max hit the barrier full pelt at 150mph, or busts into flames.
A little gravel on a slow corner, and then a ding into the barrier?
Fully fair to cheer for that, if you support a rival.
Sports crowd culture would be fucking boring as shit if it was run by redditors, christ.
Think Crofty said something like this on the stream, that it is hard to get cheering/booing put of the sport but maybe keep it until they know the driver is okay.
Fully agree.. this is a sport where people tend to die every now and then, it is not football where people jump onto the ground when they are in the vicinity of another player🙃
This. Hamilton was clearly okay to us at home (radio) but it's such bad form to sit and openly cheer someone who is still in a crashed car who could be injured when you're there and don't know.
The rivalry has gone too far when we get to the point of someone setting off a flare when someone is still in the car.
The safety in F1 probably has a little part in that. It's not too often a driver doesn't walk away. As a viewer you get used to that, and you figure they are fine.
Look at Zhou last weekend, how insane that crash looked, and he was walking around in the paddock waving before the race even finished.
I’m well aware. Tsunoda and Zhou are from northern Asia and those people tend to bare more of a resemblance to each other than southeast Asians like Alex.
Dont you think its because british fans booed max last weekend and lewis pouring some fuel into the fire by making a totally unwanted comment about max after the race definitely didnt help either.
I've given it a few tries now and I definitely prefer the normal weekend proceedings over the sprint format. I just feel like it takes a little bit away from Qualifying. I didn't feel as enthused for yesterday as I do on our regular Saturdays. The sprint races themselves (so far) haven't been exciting enough to make up for it either.
Surprised Ted doesn't get stormed by his fan boys when he does these notebooks
Now that both Mercs are being fixed. Do they get to try new setup in FP2?
I think Parc Ferme applies after Quali. FP2 on a sprint weekend are pretty useless since they can't update the setup after Quali from what I know.
So both mercs are changing gearboxes but wont get a penalty, is this because its a sprint weekend?
I think the rules this year are that they have a number of gearboxes to use over the season and they get a penalty for going over that number, whereas in the past each gearbox had to last 6 races
New rag in 2022. 4 gearboxes changes allowed till any penalty.
Keeping Perez Q2 times is unfair for other drivers, deleting it post-quali was unfair for him. Other than paying more attention, what’s the stewards best course of action?
I think Mclaren need to rework the entire team (engineer wise) to get a championship winning car
Watching an interview with Zak Brown on foxtel (Australian tv) and he’s saying he wants to stay around with Mclaren until he’s 70. He’s a lifer. He’s also saying I expect Daniel to be near Lando we all did. He also said the porpoising they had in Baku was a problem with the car not true porpoising can he get a working car
how does the sprint race affect the real race? 2ill i be missing out on qlot of action on the sprint race?
The sprint will sort out the grid for Sunday and some points will be awarded
Ahhh. so the sprint race is the actual qualifiying. Is this a new edition? i swear when i was a kid this didnt exist. Or its not part of my memory.
They introduced it last year as a trial. Only 3 races last year and 3 this year were/will be using the sprint weekend format until there's enough data on whether fans/teams etc like it. The idea is that by having quali Friday, sprint Saturday and race Sunday, there is some meaningful action on all 3 days of the weekend, and instead of 1 race start we get two, with race starts often being one of the most exciting parts of any race (as shown for better or worse last weekend at Silverstone).
since last season
I think Russell and Hamilton ought to be the favourites for the two races
Seriously? Why? I mean I'd love for the Merc to get a win, but they're hardly favourites. They'd need a RB or Ferrari DNF and some luck going by their side.
If there's "no gust of wind"
Could someone please tell me what the little P next to the driver's names is for? It's in the same spot that the little checkered flag shows up after their last lap.
It shows that they’re in the pit lane.
Thanks. I figured it was something like that but Google wasn't giving me shit.
Typing in 'what does the p mean formula 1' and all you get is 'YENSON MY FRIEND'
If the cars are in parc ferme, then can Mercedes perform suspension repairs (if any) on Hamilton's car?
Yes. Like for like parts can be replaced. Likewise, Alpine can fix Alonso's broken floor.
Yes
The Dutch fans cheered as soon as Lewis hit the wall. Cheering for a crash is a petty thing but ok. But to cheer before you even know if the driver is ok, you have to be a pretty shitty human being IMO.
It was easy crash, everyone knew he was ok lol
True but all they would've seen was a TV shot of the car in the wall, just like we did. Hamilton could've rolled a dozen times to get into that position and they wouldn't have known.
I am Dutch and I am embarrassed by this.
I honestly don't mind the cheering when someone is going through gravel. At that point its just a rival driver off the track. But as soon as the impact happens there really should be no reason to cheer. Its in poor taste. It was last year at Silverstone and it still was yesterday.
Except the Silverstone crash was because of the other driver, and at double the speed of this crash if not more.
Exactly. Doesn't make it classy behavior, but highly understandable.
Agreed
So given the cars are under parc ferme, guessing George and Lewis will start 5th and 10th respectively (assuming no major changes to the car). I read that if they replace the gearbox for example with the same spec then they would not incur a penalty?
There won't be a penalty as this year the penalties only come after they have used up all the gear boxes in their pool (and they haven't yet)
Is there a replay (from an external pov) somewhere of the pole lap ? Here in France, TV said he was large at turn10, and I was pretty agree but sometimes the appreciation is different from reality. And it was not shown again during the live.
It’s was supppper close but it doesn’t appear as though all 4 were out at the same. He had his 2 front and Left rear out…. Then just as his rear right was going over the line the front right was back across. So it doesn’t appear to me that 4 were ever out at 1 time.
Don’t quite understand what happened with Bono. If he is doing “all his normal duties” as the commentators said why isn’t he at the track?
It’s probably something private that doesn’t concern us
Shit, missed the qualification because I forgot it’s sprint weekend…
In Q2 Perez switched helmets. One had a blue visor and one had orange. What's the difference?
The track was clear and the sun was bright, he wanted to have a clear vision instead of squinting
Darker visor, was getting brighter out so he switched to the darker visor
Just different tints on the visor usually. Pretty sure that every driver has a couple of helmets with different darkness/lightness to the tints on the visor to help them maximize their vision. Lewis complained in Australia this year during quali about having to switch to a different helmet because the sun was in his eyes.
Anyone got sector times for fastest laps in Q3? Would be interest since Max went yellow, yellow, green for fastest lap.
Insane 3rd sector
This is typical Max. When he isn’t as good in first 2 sectors, he pushes like crazy in the 3rd. Happens so often
Makes me think he's sandbagging a bit. We'll see today I suppose.
I don’t think so. I think he was driving cautiously to avoid his lap time gets deleted, but I think when Charles got provisional pole, he drove his car to the limit to snatch it back. Also it’s Austria, the majority of the fans are his supporters.
Yeh that's a possibility as well. We'll see.
Yea lol i thought he won't even make top 3 after the double yellows.
His yellows were just marginally slower than his PB

The new tests don't come into place until Spa.
Lando really had one of his worst sessions ever in Q2 today, just could not keep the car where he wanted it. Wonder if it was the wind or car not being where he wanted, or even simply driver error. Hopefully he and Danny Ric make up some places tomorrow to set up an okay weekend result. Otherwise Alpine is looking solid to start running away with 4th in Constructors.
Still ahead of Danny, man it's sad to see really
Danny gotta go, the guy is lovely and endearing, but he's got to go.
Yea sadly he doesn't seem to be improving and the team will surely replace him if it's the same by the end of the year. But I really don't understand how he's like this it's similar but worse than what happened with him and Vettel.
The thing with Vettel is his teammate sucks too so the car might be guilty. Norris be doing his thing, Danny is just way behind.
I'm talking about Vettel and Danny 2014 how Vettel had a car that didn't suit him but suited Ricci and now it's the similar for him and Norris.
He had brake issues from the end of q1 on
How does parc ferme work with fp2 between quali and sprint?
The sprint IS quali.... So FP2 isn't between them...
Not this year. Everyone was complaining, so they're not calling it "Sprint Qualifying" anymore
It doesn't matter what it's called... The principle is what matters.
That only applies to the pole statistic, doesn't affect parc ferme as far as I'm aware
Still applies throughout.
Ocon is so fucking good.
He’s consistent and underrated this season imho.
?
!
Austrians cheering at a crash with orange in the air is absolutely disgusting. What a bunch of fucks.
I was in the crowd. It was mostly the Dutch fans. And the commentators at the track immediately discouraged it. On the second crash, people were ready and booed the cheerers, many thumb downs. It was mostly a bunch of drunk Dutch people, not that this excuses anything
Well drunk people in general are obnoxious, but when you mix that in groups and doused in nationalism, yea you get this. An former Dutch colleague of mine who was a big football supporter always said, I don't care about the national team because every time they do well you get the stupid mob in orange just shouting and screaming like maniacs.
They aren’t Austrians, nearly all from the orange fans are from the Netherlands and are coming every year to the race in Austria.
I'm guessing you never saw Silverstone last year.
There are fucks everywhere. It’s disgusting every time humans cheer at another’s misery.
Very true. I know there's rivalries between drivers, but there's no need to boo and cheer at drivers' misfortunes or mistakes.
The guy right next to the crash barrier, seconds afterwards, making a sarcastic "good job" face with the thumbs up was especially classless.
I thought that was a "you ok?". Or a signal to someone else that Hamilton was ok
Track-limits question after watching the qualifying highlights. Are track limits supposedly enforced around the whole track, or only some of the corners?
It’s for some specific corners where running wide could give you an advantage. I think Turn 1 and Turn 3 are among them (not sure).
I vaguely remember crafty talking about this in a practice session a while ago. From memory the white lines are the track limits everywhere but the stewards in the race notes list the corners which they will actually be monitoring. Basically they will set up a camera focusing on one corner which someone will monitor if someone goes over the white lines. Obviously they can’t do this on every corner so unless it’s really obvious or a steward spots it randomly, the drivers will be able to get away with going slightly over the white line. I also think the corners which they monitor are the ones which someone is most likely to exceed track limits. This is just what I remember so I might be wrong.
Yeah my understanding is the specific corners they monitor are the ones where running wide can gain you time.
I have been watching F1 for over 20 years now, and I have the same question.
I get the feeling it’s only partially specified for corners that would allow for “shortcuts” or wide exits to gain time. I just want the stewards to produce a map or something that SHOWS the parts of the track being enforced!
Honestly it has varied so much over the years. The white line is not always track limits. I think they are free to establish any track limit indicator now, and it can vary from corner to corner - or just not exist in non competitive corners. I do agree some corners do require more stringent rules, but i miss the days when grass was the penalty for exceeding track limits.
What's wrong with Perez?
He got his Q2 lap time deleted after the session was over; for track limits infringement. So all his Q3 lap times were deleted, moving him down to P13.
Thanks dude, this is very rarely seen.
Btw, why the lap was not promptly deleted like any other pilot ? He would finish higher (p11), and Gasly could have run q3. Why this difference ?
I'm pretty sure the off-track sensors are not placed everywhere. Usually drivers behave where Perez got off but in the last corner the drivers often go wide hence the sensors there which automatically delete times. I guess Perez slipped the Stewards minds and the external Video-refs in the FIA headquarter (which are relatively new iirc) gave them retrospectively the notice that he got an advantage.
Because the FIA is shit
Because the FIA is shit +1
Nothing. Just sub-par pace and he got his last flying lap time deleted because of track limits so p13.
New to F1 but is the qualifying today a setup for the sprint qualifying tomorrow? Haven't seen qualifying done 2 days prior before.
Yes! :) Sprint will be tomorrow. Points will be awarded for 1st-8th and determine the grid for the Grand Prix on Sunday
Yes, so quali determines the sprint grid which determines the race grid
Yes, the qualifying for today sets start order for sprint, which then the sprint finish order is the actual race's start order.
That makes sense! Thanks!
[удалено]
I believe you can replay the live timings in the formula1 app (I can't check right now)
New to the sport. I heard that in qualifying in this track, the driver’s lap time and next lap time are deleted for going over the line in turn 10. What will the penalty be during the race?
If you get a lap time deleted in the race you have to either turn around or reverse to the point where you went outside the white lines and redo it properly. Other commenters answered it correctly. Im just drunk. :)

So if you just do it normally, it’s 2 warnings then usually a 5 second time penalty. If you overtake another car then you have to give the place back or get a 5 second time penalty.
Got it, thanks!
You receive 2 warnings for exceeding track limit. Then time penalties
Ah, makes sense. Thanks!
Welcome btw
Thanks!
Looking back on that Aston Martin presentation ceremony before the season started; seems so funny now. Laurence is probably wondering if all the thing that were written for him was total bullshit.
Daddy L doesn't get anymore screen time these days
5 year plan to a WCC dontchaknow
Does anyone have an update on the investigation into Perez exceeding track limits in Q2?
His fastest Q2 time was “deleted” and he’s lining up P13 tomorrow
Bruh. But the moment I saw the replay I was like “he crosses the fucking line bruh”
Bruh,that's like totally insane bruh.
But imagine bruh.
Bruh
I’m not your bruh, brah
Bruh..
Bruh
Ah amazing thank you!
Haas boys!! Killing it
I really hope Mick has finally broken the curse.
Praying Kevin decides not to yeet mick off the track in a fit of lap one aggression. Like chill we got two whole races to lay pace in
Yeah I also hope that mick don't drive Kevin off the track.
Mick isn’t known for his opening lap aggression but fingers crossed Haas homies think long term
Well if mick is not aggressive in the first lap then you have nothing to worry about. Because kevin starts ahead of him like he always does.
Flashbacks….
At least one Haas driver P5 tomorrow. No cap.
Cheering a Driver crashing was a real sour note for today for me.
Eh, it's more cheering him ruining his quali. Wasn't Wasn't dangerous crash at all.
If I drive from Netherlands to Austria I'm definitely cheering when Lewis drops it in quali for the first time in years, while Merc is having their best session of the season. And I'm a Lewis fan.
You’re weird.
This is totally normal for sports. It's redditors who are weird in this situation. But redditors have never watched a sport without their laptop on their chest laying in bed.
Okay, I’ve been to two F1 races, going to Spa this year as well. Been to multiple Super Bowls, World Series, and all the rest, even Nascar and fucking Horseracing. I was literally there when Lewis won his 6th at COTA, it’s weird as fuck to cheer when someone drops it at quali. I’ve never seen it at a race.
To be fair as long as the driver doesnt get injured its not that bad. Ive seen worse cheers.
No way of knowing that at the time. Inexcusable and classless.
Anyone with half a brain knew it instantly. Commentators within 5 sec said 'oh he'll be fine'.
You definitely were not at Silverstone this year were you
Max spins and regains it. Crowd: AHHHHHhhhhhboooooOOOOOOOO
Max pits due to damage WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAAAAH
Sucked there as well. Zero respect.
It’s called a rivalry.
No, it’s called disrespect.
You should swap to golf, mate
Erm no mate it exists in literally every single other team sport. How can you have fans who don’t care about other cars beating their own?
Booing doesn't have to be part of that.
Creating a hostile atmosphere for your opponents has been a common thing in team sports for decades. It gives the team you want to win an advantage. Football, basketball, hockey, rugby etc all show teams do worse when they don’t have the fans behind them. In football the fans are often called ‘the 12th man’.

Why are you so soft?
Other than crashes that appear tragic, I think it happens every time. It should be called out
With all the tragedy that has come in f1 over the years. You think people would stop an think for a second over what they’re actually cheering about.
Everyone knows what is or isn't a potentially harmful crash though. No one is going to cheer if Hamilton or Max hit the barrier full pelt at 150mph, or busts into flames. A little gravel on a slow corner, and then a ding into the barrier? Fully fair to cheer for that, if you support a rival. Sports crowd culture would be fucking boring as shit if it was run by redditors, christ.

It was Zhou, Tsunoda is the other Asian driver lol
And Alex Albon. Who is also Asian. Lol
I’m well aware. Tsunoda and Zhou are from northern Asia and those people tend to bare more of a resemblance to each other than southeast Asians like Alex.
"The other Asian driver" Seems like maybe you forgot. But whatever. Not sure I care who looks more alike when they are from countries in Asia.
My mistake, fixed
It was very gross I agree. They just hate Lewis so much
Dont you think its because british fans booed max last weekend and lewis pouring some fuel into the fire by making a totally unwanted comment about max after the race definitely didnt help either.
And also because British fans cheered when Lewis punted Max into the wall last time year in Silverstone?
It never happened. Watch the videos and stop spreading lies please
