Hopefully they can hold their running position, because they have really struggled with that. They usually start great and then lose it in the long run.
Yep. Second straight easily.

Great to see Rob Smedley on the BBC.

:/ indeed.
Not a huge fan of her's, but having a big name on the team could draw a ton of attention form the sports media here, which Haas Formula could really use if they want to succeed. Would be great for viewership
Pretty great qualifying session. Amazingly tense flying laps. Vettel's jump up to 3 at the end was awesome. Loved how well my Williams boys did as well. Nice to see them so far up the grid. Should make for a fun race between those two at least, if not the rest of the pack. Seeing them so far up the time board near the end of Q2 was awesome. Sure it didn't mean much, but still great feeling.
Seeing Hulkenburg just get edged out of Q3 right at the end made me sad, though.
All the attention in the world is not good if it doesn't result in wins. Danica is a fine driver, but she is not F1 level. I really look forward to more female drivers in all levels of motorsport, but this would be a pure marketing gimmick.

I hope it happens. Once her mediocrity is on clear display, perhaps she can just go away and we don't have to waste media articles on her any longer.
Average at best. This is coming from someone who rooted for her hard back when she was in indy car with AGR.
Out of the gate, Haas probably doesn't have much chance to make a really impressive showing. At least, not impressive enough to catch american viewers' attention. Having a pure publicity stunt like hiring her right off the bat could tide them over until they can really put together a decent enough car to start making some inroads.
He can't be serious. Just say it for the publicity and then have her deny it tomorrow morning. Everyone wins.
Haas will enter in 2016. Probably he will wait for better Ferrari PU lol
Looking at long term weather model, Austria should be in same temp range, but with possible afternoon storms (mountains are near the racetrack). Hungary is normally a 30+, Germany could be colder or even hotter...

Did you get that from NBC Sports video? If so that felt more like the host was forcing it onto him. The guy wasn't going to answer no she has no chance. Even says it's a long shot.

I'm sure Danica has said in the past that she has no interest in F1.

I'm very upset over the quali. Lewis is clearly the better and the faster driver of both. But I'm not worried about it, Rosberg is just delaying the inevitable, Lewis will prevail and win the WDC. Without dirty tricks too
Poor Hammy, Alonso in 2007 and Rosberg in 2014

AMuS - Newey likely to take sabbatical after this season:

Not better than Hamilton for sure. It's as clear as daylight

Maybe he will go to his another project - constructing yachts

I have to admit, my salt level was high when Nico took pole. But he drove well and clearly won it on merit.
That DRS zone is massive on this circuit however and should allow plenty of overtaking opportunities.
as for Haas and Danica Patrick; I hope that does happen, would generate much needed interest from American motorsport fans.

He's a very good driver, but probably still in the second tier. Until he wins a WDC I just can't believe he'll match up to the likes of Hamilton etc. over the course of a season. So far he's done a good job, other than the one dubious pole position, has driven very smartly. Just came up short in Bahrain and Barcelona, but he was very very close to beating Hamilton on both occasions.
I still think he lacks a killer instinct, but there's still time for that to become apparent. Maybe Monaco was an indicator, if you believe he did it deliberately..

I don't know about killer instinct, but he's a monster regardless. I'm already questioning if Hamilton is as good as I thought he was.

I'm absolutely the opposite when it comes to Hamilton. I thought 2007 was a fluke, but he's really showing Rosberg how it's done, especially in qualifying. Yesterday he made a mistake, but he was faster. When he was slower he was still able to keep Rosberg behind. I can't see Rosberg beating Hamilton on pure pace. Did he beat him yesterday fairly? Of course he did, but that's only because Hamilton screwed up not because he was faster than him

Rosberg a monster. uh huh.

she's got a great thing in NASCAR as the female Dale Jr. Super popular and one of the highest paid drivers despite being mediocre as shit. She's a sponsor magnet and people even watched indycar for her.
There's not a whole lot to question, though. If Rosberg hadn't locked up into Mirabeau, we'd have been talking about Hamilton having won 5 in a row. Likewise if Lewis didn't make that mistake yesterday, he'd be the good favourite again for today's race. Hell, he still might be.
Rosberg has always been a pretty consistent and quick driver, but until I see him trounce Hamilton a bit more consistently this year, and maybe wins the WDC, I'll stand by my current perception that he is not quite in the top tier along with Lewis, Vettel and Alonso.
Either way it's gonna be a good scrap, and probably a little closer than I might've expected. I hope it continues starting today.
Sounds like he will be stepping back from being the main guy in the design department to more of an advisor, supervisor role so he can do other projects under the Red Bull umbrella.
We can see now why RBR fought so hard (and illegally) to pouch Dan Fellows back from McLaren.

What's this about Red Bull kicking Mercedes out of there hotel in Austria.. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/star-vs-bull-war-the-austrian-gp-hotel-battle/
Mateschitz (Red Bull owner and one of the wealthiest people in Europe) bought the racetrack and invested a lot of money in it and nearby infrastructure (hotels were built and renovated).
The next thing was removing Niki Lauda's name from one of the corners on the race track.
Now looks like they decided to kick out Mercedes team from nearby hotels in his ownership. If you cannot beat them on track...I wonder if Mercedes will have answer for them before German GP
