Yep, the first one is Austrian GP, and the second one is Styrian GP. I wish they named the second one Niki Lauda GP instead Here's the revised calendar for F2 and F3 so far:
Eco Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Yeah - I think after today I'm going to focus on watching more F2, it was absolute bonkers and I loved it. Much more passing, pressure, and competitive. Plus, according to the commentators, this is an exciting year for F2 as the rookies this year are some of the best up and coming drivers.
Eco Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 What does throw me off a bit, if that cars look completely different for teammates. Ilott and Zhou are teammates, but their liveries are completely different. Same for Mick and Robert.

Yes, last year's grid was a bit weak, so the races were often not that great. This season thankfully has a very very strong grid, and the rookies are definitely a big part of it. There's at least a dozen of drivers capable of challenging for wins every weekend, and the title battle should be very tight. This season they also have new 18 inch wheels, so nobody has any experience with the new tyres, which often made a huge difference between those more experienced in F2 and the rookies joining from F3. So all in all, it's a great year to get into F2. Although it's a pity you missed the opportunity to witness the great Mahaveer Raghunathan in action

But it kinda works, as it's easier to identify the drivers in some cases...

nudge Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 @Eco Zhou's car apparently had a gearbox glitch.

You could hear on the straight that Zhou's car was sounding off when trying to change gears. Just curious if there was a failure or who they were able to fix it (without replacing it) so that they could continue.

Do you really watch kids karting? Has their ever been an African driver? (Note: Egypt is in Africa) Jody Scheckter was F1 champion in 1979, he was South African. There were a few others around that time from South Africa too I think.
nudge Posted July 10, 2020 Author Posted July 10, 2020 Vesti on pole, Beckmann and Sargeant completing the top 3 for tomorrow's race.
nudge Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 The F3 race has been red flagged and then canceled due to the rain, so half points will be awarded. Vesti wins from pole, Zendeli and Beckmann complete the podium. Nice run by David Schumacher, improved by 10 positions.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 11, 2020 Moderator Posted July 11, 2020 Awesome start by Zendeli, jumping from 6th to 2nd.

nudge Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 Theo Pourchaire won the sprint race today to be come the youngest ever F3 race winner (16 year old). Good to see him doing well, Sauber have quite a talent on their hands there. Current standings after Round 2: In other news, Sophia Flörsch is having another meltdown on twitter

Also really impressed with Beckmann and Zendeli!

Deemed it a racing incident, which it probably was, it's hard to tell from that angle and there has been no onboard video released so far... Her regular complaining on social media isn't doing her any favours though, especially since she's not exactly delivering on the track either. And yes, especially Beckmann! Might even have a realistic shot at the title, although it will be hard to beat Prema drivers...
nudge Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 Pourchaire won the feature race yesterday, starting from pole and controlling the race well. Still can't believe he's only sixteen! Beckmann got his first ever F3 win today! Finished second, but Viscaal got penalised, so Beckmann inherited the win, with Piastri and Hauger behind him. Also amazing race by Smolyar - started from P27 and finished 7th
Moderator Tommy Posted August 1, 2020 Moderator Posted August 1, 2020 Lots of crashing in F3 today. Oli Caldwell not getting out of the car. Hope he's ok. edit: He seems to be alright.

That looked bad, his car was split in two with the gearbox left hanging, but luckily not in a very high speed, and Dunner hit the back of it and not the middle... Liam Lawson won and managed to keep the Premas behind him, nice.
nudge Posted August 19, 2020 Author Posted August 19, 2020 David Schumacher has unexpectedly left Charouz Racing, and hinted at "big news" soon. Could be that he's getting into F2? Maybe replacing Gelael? Wouldn't make that much sense, but why not.

Just looked him up, and see he's dating a Hungarian driver named Keszthelyi..so...a quick google search and I'm not sure if her eyes are stunning, or creepy. Reminds me a bit of a certain villian
