No rain or weather worries are expected for this race, but isolated showers can bubble up in the Styrian hills at short notice. In terms of other more pressing notices, Zhou is starting from the pitlane after Sauber made changes to his car post-qualifying. It doesn't cost him much, given he qualified 20th and last.

Mercedes calms Russell's concerns by telling him there was a 40kph tailwind that pushed him off-track at Turn 3. It's blowing a gale this afternoon so the drivers will need to be alert to that.
