1. The climatology.
The rain forecast for tomorrow is 40%, but last year we saw how a blue sky can turn overcast and unleash a downpour within minutes. From there the script of the race changes completely.
2. The first step in the chicane.
Pilots have never reached the level of braking in a racing situation. Pay attention to the maneuver of going from forming a group to ordering yourself in a file to keep track of it. It’s hard to imagine that something won’t happen.
3. Quartararo’s departure.
Hostage to the performance of his machine, the French rider always had to take risks in the starts to escape the web that the Ducati riders could weave around him. The position in which he starts after the first pass at the chicane will be decisive for his race.
4. The most Ducati circuits in the championship.
In the eight races held at the Red Bull Ring, Ducati won six times. On tomorrow’s grid, bikes from Borgo Panigale occupy five of the top six positions. If a Ducati doesn’t win tomorrow, it will be a surprise.
5. Inspiration from Suzuki riders.
The Red Bull Ring is a “friendly” circuit for Rins and Mir, especially for the latter, who took his first GGPP victory here. It is true that their positions on the grid – 11th and 8th respectively – are not good, but throughout the season both have shown that they can neutralize their poor rankings with brilliant starts.
