I know it's just practice but Williams finished the day in 3rd in 5th, hopefully they can build on that.
Albon was quick in FP1 as well. I like what Vowles is doing so far, I think in the long term they have a good outlook.I know it's just practice but Williams finished the day in 3rd in 5th, hopefully they can build on that.
But Checo's doesn't.So does Piastri's.
But Checo's doesn't.
He had a great recovery drive in Austria but in the best car in the field you should occasionally qualify better than 15th.
Great to see McLaren up front, more and more players are getting into the fight for the podium and I'm now confident a team other than Red Bull will get a win this season.
Mercedes really needs a new tub with the driver further back. They've tried everything else, so all that's left is giving Lewis what he wants.

If Lando can just Max, we could have a fun day.Great to see McLaren up front, more and more players are getting into the fight for the podium and I'm now confident a team other than Red Bull will get a win this season.

I got another idea.I’m getting to the point where I’m actually coming around on the idea of Hulk in the second seat. Get some podiums finally, maybe even a win when things break the right way. I can’t see any drivers from big competitors like Ferrari, Aston, or Mercedes wanting to switch, nor would they make it easy to do so contractually. Their juniors aren’t ready. Gasly and Albon have been there, done that. Norris is under contract through ‘25 and supposedly doesn’t have an out clause.
I just can’t see him going straight from IndyCar to Red Bull without a year with the junior team in between. I guess anything is possible but straight to the best team in the series is a big leap.I got another idea.

Of course there is a risk involved but I'd choose Alex over Yuki and if you're dominating IndyCar like this you sure have the potential to be a front runner in F1 .I just can’t see him going straight from IndyCar to Red Bull without a year with the junior team in between.

Can't find it, but yesterday I read Albon says his future is with Williams and not Red Bull.Of course there is a risk involved but I'd choose Alex over Yuki and if you're dominating IndyCar like this you sure have the potential to be a front runner in F1 .

But what if Ricciardo has a poor test?
My guess is if he goes well that puts pressure on Checo. If he sucks, that probably takes him out of that conversation.What makes you think this has any barings on his future? Its just a tire test.
Like I said, I’m coming around on the idea of Hulk as a stopgap. It sounded like a bit of a joke at first but he’s a good veteran, good qualifier, isn’t gonna bother Max or anything. And since those articles started coming out Checo has only gotten worse and Hulk has put up more good quali results. For sure, there aren’t many good fits or viable other options.But what if Ricciardo has a poor test? Who has Red Bull got that they can plug into the second car? Yuki sure isn't ready and he's the only guy they have with F1 experience. If Checo goes, Red Bull would be in a bad position.
Personally, I hope Checo pulls his thumb out because he's the only guy who could challenge Max. Maybe Lando will have something for him tomorrow.
Alex Palou, not AlbonCan't find it, but yesterday I read Albon says his future is with Williams and not Red Bull.
Alex Palou, not Albon
Then Gunter could bring Mick back and shut Ralf up! Obviously, I'm being a smart ass. However, it won't be long before Ralf says Checo has to go and the best candidate is Mick.Like I said, I’m coming around on the idea of Hulk as a stopgap.
Would Gunter let Hulk go? I guess if you have the worst car and your driver gets an offer from the best team, you gotta be magnanimous and give him up.Hulk for one year while Palou learns at Alpha Tauri would be good I’d think.
That guy can't get a break lately.Magnussen done blowed up
Yeah, not the best plan IMHO.McLarens are gonna get cooked off the restart, I fear.
