2026 Austria FP3 Summary

Post by Hardelli »

Before the session started Piastri was trying out his brake pedal, his face had the "I guess its okay"-look.

Apparently Cadillac has wrapped some of the electronics, that are in the front of the car, into a plastic bag. And poured water in there somewhere? This according to Ted on SkyF1.

Bottas' brakes still being worked on with 48 minutes left in the session.

Hadjar finally reporting that the balance feels "pretty nice" after yesterdays "all over the place"

Alonso still has stupid amount of understeed

Norris' mirror "completely broken"

Verstappen complaining about weird interference in his earbuds and wants to change them and the balaklava "something weird going on"

Russell has front axle braking issues, does a suspension change

Russell also overheating rear tires

Alonso reports "I can't turn the car, theres something wrong with the front" comes into pits

Russell still has unstable car, 12 minutes left. Lots of understeer, some rear instability.

Verstappen still having radio issues, "constant frequency"

Turn 3 braking zone very difficult for all cars

Pretty mild session all in all. Most issues were balance issues, seems like reliability stuff has been fixed for now.

Red Bull doing some vigorous laser scanning after the session. That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point
