Rio has done very well in Qualy, he needs to work on his race management and race pace.

It's just struck me that with pat fry, to basis and Dave Allison within the team the upgrades they've brought this season are rather tame, this gives me some hope that the car for next year will be well developed and may be able to get a few points here or there. This makes sense I reckon as the timings of the new guys coming into the team would be well suited to getting on with next years car as opposed to spending time adapting an already destined car for a his year. This could give them the most return for there budget

Seriously? Nobody here is talking about their impressive Qualy performance from yesterday? I mean wow, what an incredible qualifying they had, Pascal making it to Q2 and qualifying 12th. Amazing stuff they did.

Well done Manor. Sauber will have to start scratching their heads, because they are slipping lower and lower.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Sauber will be back ahead. They've just put the whole seasons worth of aero development. As they've had the engineering team running the whole season, just with no production, I would assume it's a fairly.comprehensive update. I'm guessing that it'll be as big and update as Force India brought last year.

Hugely important for them to get that point. If Sauber does not manage to score points this season, Manor will secure column 1 price money for 2017 as well.

Nice video on f1.com about Pascal and Manor's experience at the Austrian GP. Pascal explains what happened at the start in more detail than has previously been reported, which reveals why he didn't gain any places this time.

im curious though where the manor really belongs. the result in austrai shows where the car actually is capable of, when things are falling into place.
haryanto all the way in the back shows that the driver makes a huge impact.
