Austria 

FP1

From F1.com

One driver unable to make it out on track though was Max Verstappen, the Dutchman's Red Bull coming to a stop in the pit lane before being wheeled back to the garage as the four-time World Champion complained his car kept dropping into anti-stall.

An attempt to get out on track 15 minutes later resulted in the same outcome, with Red Bull enduring a difficult session as Isack Hadjar was also unable to head out until just 24 minutes remained due to car issues.

A hydraulic leak also hampered reigning World Champion Lando Norris, with the McLaren driver confined to the garage until the final 14 minutes.

I cant stand Boy George so Im going to take Verstappen's side. 

Maybe Ferrari has a chance tomorrow.

😆 Boy George. 

Not going to be easy. 

I agree, Mercedes has it figured out with performance but unfortunately they just like all the other top teams are still having mechanical failures all these teams can win races but then they will also roll to a stop and get a DNF , at least its keeping it interesting.    

Have the previously canceled F1 GP's in the Middle East been rescheduled?

No, but they're still monitoring the situation. I wouldn't count on them being re-added to the schedule. 

Q3 got interesting. Max’s parallel parking wasn’t good; but, other than that…the closing laps were pretty awesome. 

Did the wing stay inverted? 

I have no idea. 

With the various upgrades and the apparent “allowances” in the electric management aspect of the power units…

There appears to be a slight re-stacking of the Fast Teams and their hierarchy.

Mercedes is still the obvious top dog…but, not by nearly as much as they were.
