Ted actually made a good point for once. If I didn't want a track limits penalty I simply wouldn't go over the track limits.

Aye, it's quite the concept. If there was gravel or a wall there they'd soon manage to keep inside the limits. Just go a bit slower - simple.

It was a good race away from the lead (or top two). Bit like the Scottish Premiership really. Impressed/disappointed there wasn't much contact given all the squabbling.

Aston Martin have protested the race result for (at the moment) an unknown reason.

Anyone?

Neither of their drivers were penalised and both finished in the points.

They need to do something about the track limits, either add a gravel trap or something to actually punish them or add on a penalty every time they go off. Can’t have hundreds of violations and keep the punishments consistent. 

FIA deemed walls and gravel traps too unsafe and destroyed circuits by insisting on tarmac run-off areas and more or less flat kerbs, so I think there should be a compromise.

Water pits filled with sharks and crocodiles on the outside of all corners.

As the 2023 season’s extended, celebratory parade for Verstappen and Red Bull continued, the orange‑clad swathes of fans in Austria were revelling in the success. This was another masterclass of the kind Verstappen is making look commonplace and sadly as a result somewhat uninspiring. It is the superior pace of the Red Bull, combined with his undoubted innate touch and ability and a fearsomely strong operational execution by his team that combines to a flawless whole.

While England brought hearts to mouth and fans dared to dream the impossible at Lord’s, Austria was an altogether more prosaic affair. Less dreaming as another strong dose of the reality of this season, for Verstappen’s fans this is nectar, for the neutral an increasingly predictable concoction. There was no suggestion of an upset, no Stokesian behemoth striding into the fray to put paid to the Red Bull juggernaut. Instead there was Verstappen, cool and in command, untroubled and on this form unbeatable.

 

Giles Richards (Guardian) of course hall expressed just as much anguish and concern for the lack of opposition, when it was St Lewis nobly leading a complete  chump like Bottas in Mercedes' unprecedented era of total dominance.
