Did you know that the Red Bull Ring used to be called the Österreichring?

Actually, the Old Ossterreichring only makes up a small portion of the current Red Bull Ring young whippersnappers!

I almost picked LCH, too, even knowing about his grid penalty, simply because I figured his belly would be full of fire after Baku. Ultimately went with Bottas, though. We shall see....

HAM is good around the Red Bull Ring, that's what I'm counting on.

I have a sinking feeling that I may not have learned from the Canadian GP....

Feeling for poor Max, although Papa Jos says (in a pre-race interview with Sky) that they'll definitely be with RBR next year....

well, I once again wasted a top pick on a non-productive point enhancer.

Funny, I had opposite instincts. My gut was saying, "Go with Lewis! Go with Lewis!," but my head was saying, "Bottas is doing consistently well in free practices."

For once, going with my head over my gut seems to have been the better choice. I guess I was still smarting from doubting LCH in Canada....
