Valtteri Bottas lead the Austrian Grand Prix from start to finish, but it was behind him that all the action happened. Multiple retirements and collisions caused just 11 cars at the finish, with Leclerc and Norris surprisingly joining Bottas on the podium.
I think Vettel will openly defy any team orders, so it could be a lot of fun. Don't think Leclerc will get any favours off him whatsoever.
So same as usual from Vettel then?
Ha! Yes, basically, I suppose
Either way there could be some tasty fireworks at Ferrari. Probably just as well they aren't title contenders as this could really derail a shot at it.
Not really impressive from RB so far. Slow, spins, new bodywork seems to be missing.
It looks like it changes direction incredibly quickly - if they can find the sweet spot I think they’ll be very quick. That said the spin does continue the theme of losing the rear as it did in testing.
Yeah all is pointing to them lacking rear downforce relative to the front. 2021 will be horrible then because of the mandated cut in rear downforce producing floor

On a side note does anyone else get irritated when Horner gets interviewed on the out wall and he talks about Max and doesn’t reference Alex Albon once?
I often wonder why Red Bull bother having a second driver the way they treat them, it’s quite incredible.

Marko even said the goal of the team is to make Max world champion, they don't seem to really care about Albon.

Yes, I get what you mean. Max is arguably in the most comfortable position of the top pilots IMO

Quite the opposite. Gasly and now Albon are just too slow. Max is dying for a proper teammate again so that Red Bull can cover of strategic options from Mercedes and take away points from Hamilton.
Max is now fighting against two cars by himself. 2 cars that are slightly faster to begin with. In the rare races in 2019 they were in front of Hamilton the maximum they could hope for in normal circumstances was to gain 7 points on Hamilton, whereas Hamilton can gain 10 points on Max in normal circumstances because when the Mercedes is faster on that circuit Bottas is able to get second unlike Albon.
If I were Red Bull I would sign Bottas for 2021 and let Mercedes deal with a Hamilton/Vettel infight (or if they are smart Hamilton/Russell)

In fairness, it's basically the approach they had when Vettel was with the team.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Yeah and all teams with some sense use. Do you really think Mercedes wants Bottas to take the WDC instead of Hamilton? They won't say it out loud but we all know it.

But they are professional enough to not say it.
