Austrian Grand Prix 2016: Grand Prix Weekend Thread
This weekend, the Formula 1 World Championship returns to a more traditional track in the rolling hills of Austria at the Red Bull Ring. Formerly known as the A1-Ring and prior to that, the Österreichring, it has had three basic incarnations, the layout used in the first Grand Prix in 1970, a modified version with the Hella Licht chicane from 1977 and then the version that is used now and was first introduced in 1997 as the A1-Ring.

Unfortunately I don't have any time to do a grand preview this weekend, but here are the circuit stats.

More kerbs like the yellow one. Real penalty without stewards.

As ever, thanks for the intro.

Can Nico get the Rosberg juggernaut back up to speed and get a hat-trick?

Looking forward to this one.

A kerb which puts you off driving over it but doesn't completely ruin your race like hitting a barrier is better than just a colourful line.

Nico's been given a grid penalty for a gearbox change, so that's put a bit of a crimp on his chances for Pole.

Kvyat had a big off and Q1 has been Red flagged. Looks like his right rear suspension broke, going over the curb.

IMO the yellow curbs are to harsh for the car.
Ruin your lap YES but this is to much.

That was an exciting Q3. The rain and the grid penalties certainly helped and there were a few surprises as a result.

Here's a novel idea, maybe they should have gravel or 3 metres of grass at the edge of the track?

I think spikes would be much better and big ones at that.

That sure was! Kudo's to Nicos team for fixing his car and making it out for Q1.
Hope Hulk can get a podium.

Amazing result for Jenson. Sadly, I imagine he'll go backwards quite quickly tomorrow if it's dry. But a great track, too. Wish I'd had the opportunity to race it in my day.

What a shambles! The curbs are sucking the boys in. We may be in for a new winner, based on who can build the stoutest car, an outcome related to survival more than skill and talent.

The barriers at Monaco, Baku and numerous other places are also pretty harsh. What's your suggestion?

Don't worry, these lot of pretty decent. One of the fast guys will manage to avoid the bad kerbs in the race.
