What are the weather conditions affecting the Austrian GP?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Notable Red Bull and Mercedes fans of the P1 Podcast. If you're listening on audio, go and check us out on YouTube because... If you're listening on audio, you've put Leclerc in the bin already. What do you mean? I've never been a... LAUGHTER We'll get into all of that depression and much more.
What upgrades are teams implementing for the Austrian GP?
But it's great to have Formula One back once again. A very hot... It feels like everybody's talking about how hot it is. It's massively hot in the UK at the moment. I know some people will be like, what?
How are reliability issues impacting team performance?
30? 32? That's a winter's day for me. I'm already preparing myself for the comments for that. But for me, my God, it is Melt City. But yeah, it's very hot in Austria as well, isn't it, Tommy? And lots of upgrades, lots of question marks and maybe more question marks because we're seeing things that deep down we didn't think maybe, well, we thought it might happen. But the surface level delusion took over in our predictions, at least so far.
What rookie drivers participated in Free Practice 1?
Yeah, certainly with a certain someone, but I think the heat is a huge thing in this race. There's been a lot of reliability issues during practice already, and we could see a situation where if you watched our predictions and we had P. Watt and we guessed who was going to finish 17th, that could be quite a decent... They could be one of the first people to retire based on how many... problems we're having basically already in this in this session and weekend so far because these cars don't seem to like the hot weather no so as much as it might look like a foregone conclusion reliability can throw in a massive spanner in the works that's that i'm sorry that wasn't even meant to be a joke but then as i was saying anyway free practice one let's get into it the top three were antonelli russell piastri mercedes one two
Norris issues again. It's basically just the season. Recapped the fact that Mercedes were fastest. Lando Norris immediately had problems, which I think took him out of the session for a good 45 minutes. Standard stuff, really, for Lando. And I've got to apologise. It's clearly because I didn't predict him to not have issues. Because every single time I've done that once, it hasn't happened. So, Lando, I'll be back for you.
How did McLaren and Mercedes perform in Free Practice 2?
Don't worry for the British Grand Prix. It's a crazy prediction because I've already seen the opening there. but yeah issues plaguing the grid across the two sessions very much so Lando you just can't write it really with how his season's gone it's just every time seems to be his car with an issue and the fact that it was immediately the second you know the second we started the session he's in the garage not able to to leave the garage hydraulic issue again and it's just adding up all these like failures that that his cars keep having um and of course they have a very limited number of parts and allocations as well which is flying through like crazy Well, yeah, I think he's pretty much done for some of the parts.
And there's a question from Mad Dog Claire. When will Lando take his grid penalty so he can get the new and supposedly improved slash more reliable battery? Look, I think if you look at the calendar... And Belgian Grand Prix is usually one of those where teams will, yeah, an actual spa day, you know, for their new parts. Because that is always, it's so funny, isn't it? It's deemed as a place you could overtake. And yet it's one of those circuits where in the last few years, we've really struggled to have any kind of, you know, frantic overtaking race. Unless you're Max Verstappen, of course, when you had... the car of dreams and the driver of your dreams as a hybrid combination is like, hey, you can start anywhere and still win.
It screams like a data thing where an algorithm says this is the best track because of these parameters.
What are the implications of Lando Norris's grid penalty?
Yet, you know, sometimes you see like crazy other tracks that you don't think you get lots of overtaking. You see loads or gives you more opportunities. And as you say, Spa is not delivered the greatest racing in kind of the last few years.
