2020 Austrian Grand Prix - Spielberg, 3-5 July

I won't be watching qualifying - UK pubs are allowed to open on Saturday and I shall be popping down to my local for a jar or two...

Much better than trawling the web looking for a stream of qualifying.

You mean to tell me you're going to be celebrating our Independence Day in the pub with a few pints?

I've never heard a pint called a jar, is that common in the UK?

I own a brewery and we've been serving people for several weeks now in the US. I haven't seen anyone wear a mask. Rates aren't going up in our area and I don't believe the crap the media is spewing here, either.

Enjoy your new found freedom. I will be having some pints as well. I'll catch the quali replay on ESPN. I'm cautiously optimistic Red Bull will be strong here.

Redbull only won in 2018 because Mercedes retired.

Mercedes missed the VSC pit opportunity and Redbull was altready way I front when the second Merc retired.

But it was Mercedes on a bad strategy when the VSC came out, which was caused by Bottas car I believe. So a Mercedes retiring, cost Mercedes a win, Bill was right. In a straight race, Merc had it covered. They were 5 seconds up the road in about 15minutes of racing.

I think the 'Jar' term is an Australian thing.

There was no need to skip the VSC pit stop for Hamilton, they just made a mistake there. But the VSC was caused by Bottas, so the chaiN of events leading up to that mistake was indeed engine trouble and without that the strategy mistake would not have been made. Nor indeed would it have been possible to come to that. So in that regard Bill was right but I think I am right too in saying that the RBR team reacted better to the opportunity and took the win in that way.

[NathanOlder]

Definitely, RedBull made the right call.

I could easily be wrong though, Its just I've only ever heard it in an Australian accent

Reasonably common, I think, and certainly it's a term I've used / heard used for many years.

British, I think.

Are there close to 0 photographers at the track or why are there barely any pictures of the cars yet?

Why 0? Fabrega has made some photos of Mercedes W11, you can see them in W11 topic

[Wouter]

And here the confirmation of the number of engine parts to be used this season
(number of races still unknown):

Dutch media click bait story to keep Max fans happy, it seems. On the W11 thread, it's said that the claim has been debunked already.

Yup. To keep the Maxi-pads dry and hopeful.

I wonder if English speakers do similar speculations when it comes to "our" drivers too?

Yeah. I call it "Wings Wednesday" when I see all the front wing photos popping up and it's Thursday and not even any chassis shots.
