Styrian GP F1 Friday: time for George to step up? by Peter Windsor
0Follow on Twitter: http://goo.gl/TsvaMs\nLike on Facebook: http://goo.gl/sBqGfi\nIt's not every day that we see an F1 driver spinning in the pit lane - but that's what Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas managed in Austria on Friday. He faces a three-place grid drop on Sunday plus a couple of penalty points for his trouble but in the bigger picture the figure of George Russell looms ever larger - particularly as George was blindingly quick (P3) over the long runs in FP2 . There's a chance of rain over the weekend but in the dry on Friday it was Max Verstappen again quickest on the on light fuel and Lewis Hamilton a shade faster (albeit on the soft tyre) with fuel on board. Pierre Gasly was again quick for Alpha Tauri-Honda (although a power unit issue sidelined him for FP2) and Ferrari again look to be struggling. Peter Windsor offers his thoughts.
With thanks to AMG Mercedes, Red Bull, Alpha Tauri, Alpine and McLaren F1.
