Big attack on the police: Alpine there!

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

Who will get the third pole position in 2023? The hunt for times begins at 4pm local time – 7am CET (live TV). The race also starts on Sunday at 7am in Europe (tv live). But then the local time here is only 3 p.m.

The reason: Australia switches to standard time tonight. There you win an hour. In Europe, an hour was lost a week ago due to the introduction of summer time.

Red Bull is 350 races old

In its 350th World Cup appearance this year (94 wins and 83 pole positions so far), should Red Bull tremble for the third-best starting position? In Bahrain, Verstappen was ahead (for the 21st time), in Saudi Arabia it was Pérez (for the second time).

The great attack comes from all sides. Under the leadership of Alonso in the Aston Martin-Mercedes, Alpine is now also announcing strong ambitions for the first three starting rows with both drivers (3rd Ocon, 5th Gasly).

Is Lewis too far back?

Mercedes (4th Russell, 8th Hamilton) just seems like a dangerous underdog. Hamilton is still looking for explanations why he is not really getting going. He denounces the cockpit: “That is further with our car than with all other teams. As a result, I no longer feel the rear very well.”

In fact, the cockpit of the Mercedes is five centimeters closer to the front axle than that of the competition. Apparently the problem can only be solved with the new car for 2024.

Hinwil forecast: impossible!

At Alfa-Sauber, the ups and downs continue merrily on the three GP days. predictions? Impossible. Nothing works on Friday – and then on Saturday morning China’s Zhou is suddenly fifth for a short time, only to hit the wall when he spins. Place 10.

The Finn Bottas, who went under the gin manufacturers together with his partner Tiffany, realizes more and more clearly that his Hinwil teammate is not part of the slow watch. He lost half a second to Zhou in 15th.
