Turkey GP has been removed from the race list this season and will be replaced with a second race in Austria.

Pity as the Turkish track has generally provided some decent action since it was first introduced and now they go to Austria twice which is generally a procession - unless it rains.

Yeah just seen that.

I went to the Austrian GP a couple of years back, spectacular setting and depending on where you sit you can see a lot of the track due to the elevation changes.

This Grand Prix has been dull as dishwater. Hoping for a safety car in the last 20 laps so there’s something vaguely watchable

Easily the shittest GP I have seen in a long time. They should cancel Monaco from the calendar

Enjoyable qually! Love a circuit that punishes mistakes, can’t stand the desert circuits with mile wide runoffs!

Yes the way they’ve reprofiled turn 15 has massively upped the ante - the quickest way round the corner is at the absolute limit. Looking forward to the race tomorrow - fancy Hamilton given his pace on the straights today…

Yep definitely got interesting! From agony to joy for Max with Lewis not getting any points! Glad they did the standing start restart too.

Nice to see Vettel and Gasly up there, and Perez getting his first RB win.

Well that was fun actually, well played Red Bull but how Lewis managed to eek out those tyres to even make it close was spectacular. Great day for McLaren, appalling from Ferrari and George 12th.

Weather looks poor in Austria so more excitement ahead.

Bottas spins it leaving his pit box <laugh>

Been watching F1 for 20+ years and can’t remember seeing that.
