Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Mikey, and Feven share their thoughts on the recently concluded Austrian Grand Prix.
With the new sprint race format, we got a lot more racing and even more TRACK LIMITS penalties. Even after the race, more than five drivers received additional penalties due to Aston Martin's protest.
With race qualifying on Friday, we saw the two Ferrari drivers show their one-lap pace and finish very close to Max's pole lap. Checo, unfortunately, could not put anytime on the board due to track limits.
The Sprint shootout and race offered some entertaining moments, but Max was able to cruise to a dominant win, with Checo finishing in 2nd place and Carlos in 3rd place. The Sunday race had everyone return to the qualifying grid, which meant that Checo had to climb up the ranks from P15, and with his strong performance, he finished 3rd on the podium.
Max has such a large gap that he pitted for new soft tires and went for the fastest lap on the last lap. It seems like no one on the grid can compete with Max right now. Even with a high degradation track, the Ferrari cars performed really well this weekend, and we will see if they can push even harder in Silverstone. The Mercedes and Aston Martin had a miserable weekend full of setup issues, lack of pace, and track limit penalties.
We are sending our condolences and thoughts to the family of Dilano Van 'T Hoff, who sadly passed away after an accident at Spa this weekend. We must address the safety issues that caused this incident and make sure they are avoided in the future.
Thank you for tuning in. We will see you in Silverstone for what can hopefully be a Mercedes or Aston Martin win?
