10º Guest Post

11 years since its last race, F1 has returned to the Red Bull Ring in Austria. It’s also 11 years since the Williams team had their cars back on the front row of the grid – Felipe Massa took pole position for the first time since the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix!


Mercedes scored their sixth one-two of the season with Rosberg winning ahead of Hamilton – in a race full of tactical battles.

Where did the Williams boys finish? Third place for Bottas (the first podium of the Finn’s career) and fourth for Massa. The team achieved their first podium this season, and the first one since 2012.
 
Ferrari said this week that they could leave F1. Honestly, I don’t believe so, but many things have to change inside the team. This season isn’t “working properly” for them and this weekend’s race was more of the same: Alonso fifth and Räikkönen tenth (Where is the “real” Kimi? – only 19 points so far).

Force India remains to be in good form – Perez was sixth and Hülkenberg ninth. McLaren remains uneven though as Magnussen was seventh and Button was 11th.
 
Where was Red Bull? Ricciardo finished eighth and Vettel should have stayed at home – being 13th in qualifying and having problems on lap one, led him to being lapped by everyone. Later he damaged his car after a collision with Gutierrez and a few laps after, the team told him to retire.
In two weeks time, we travel to the “mythical” Silverstone circuit, which in 1950 hosted the first official F1 race and since then has hosted the British GP 45 times.
