No Quali notes from me – I was out with Toronto Photowalks celebrating our 13th anniversary. Lots of celebrations of VET’s last F1 race. Others not returning in 2023 will

It’s been an eventful weekend so far – rain in Quali and then some great overtaking in the Sprint (plus a handful of penalties) mean there’s a Mercedes front row
A good Qualifying for Mercedes but not great for Ferrari. Grid: VER, RUS, HAM, PER, SAI, BOT, LEC, NOR, ALO, OCO, RIC, ZHO, TSU, GAS, SCH, VET, ALB, LAT, MAG*,
It’s dry (that’s a change compared to recent races) but windy in Austin. Air temperature 28°C; track 34°C; humidity 53% There were a few penalties to apply after qualifying: LEC
The race was in the middle of the night (my time) so I thought I’ll record it and watch it later… although I already know there was a rain delay
The only post-Qualifying penalties were for Mercedes: RUS qualified P11 but took on variety of engine changes so he was sent to the back of the grid [F1] The Mercedes
The only post-Qualifying penalty is a €5,000 fine for McLaren for the unsafe release of NOR in Q1. So the grid is: VER, LEC, SAI, HAM, PER, RUS, NOR, SCH,
In case it wasn’t confusing enough after Qualifying, another driver has taken an engine upgrade so here’s how Quali ended: VER, SAI, PER, LEC, OCO, ALO, HAM, RUS, ALB, NOR,
There’s a Mercedes on pole, but probably not the one you’d expect! Provisional grid: RUS, SAI, LEC, NOR, OCO, ALO, HAM, BOT, RIC, VER, PER, ZHO, MAG, STR, SCH, TSU,
Well, this could be interesting – the official FIA timing chart shows 32 rows even though there’s just 20 cars on the grid; hmmm, I hope they’ll fix that before
