Gravel to avoid trouble
Last year we had countless penalties after almost all drivers exceeded the track limits both in practice and in the race. To avoid all the chaos after each session they put gravel in the key corners so you lose time and don’t need a penalty.
Alonso and Sainz are taking it easy at the moment
The Spaniard is currently 17th, more than a second and a half off Russell’s time with the toughest compound. On the other hand, Sainz is a bit higher, in fifth place, six tenths behind the British Mercedes driver.
TIME WITH 15 MINUTES
Mercedes, the first reference
Lewis Hamilton has the best time so far with 1:06.925. After him came George Russell at 88 thousandths. Both set times on the hardest compound
Lance Stroll spoke about his renewal
The Canadian driver will continue with Aston Martin after agreeing to a multi-year contract. Unsurprisingly, he still made an assessment before the action began at the Red Bull Ring
The freebies are about to start!
Green traffic light. The first 60 minutes of action will begin at the Red Bull Ring, home of the World Cup leaders. An hour earlier to test the first settings of the weekend
Sainz’s future
When it seemed that Carlos’ big decision was between Williams and Audi, a third way came that was not ruled out. And Flavio Briatore wants the Spaniard in the Alpine with Pierre Gasly
Briatore and Alpine press for Carlos Sainz and the decision is delayed
Alonso did not expect the changes
With consecutive races, it was difficult for the teams to introduce significant improvements for Austria coming from Barcelona. Among them is Aston Martin. For this reason, Alonso believes they will suffer as they did in the Spanish GP.
Alonso is not expecting miracles in Austria ahead of another “difficult” weekend but will try to take advantage of the sprint format
Everything is ready for the start of the weekend in Austria!
How are you? Welcome to the live stream of the first free practice sessions of the Austrian GP at the Red Bull Ring. We’re in the second weekend of Formula 1’s first triple in 2024.
It’s also a Sprint weekend, so free practice starts at 12:30, but this afternoon there’s an important session like Sprint qualifying for tomorrow morning’s race.
