Another race, another victory for Max Verstappen last time out in Canada, but the race did show that Red Bull didn’t have everything its own way and that could bode well for its rivals in Austria.
Aston Martin, Mercedes, and Ferrari still ended up behind the Red Bull, but the gap wasn’t as large as it’s been in previous races, with Ferrari seemingly showing an uptick in pace after what’s been a pretty poor start to the season. Last year’s Austrian Grand Prix saw Charles Leclerc overtake Verstappen three times en route to his last win in Formula 1. Has the pack caught up to give the Bulls a challenge this weekend?
Austria sees the return of the sprint format which will no doubt upset the balance of the weekend even more with only one practice session on the Friday, followed by qualifying for the race, and then the sprints on the Saturday. With less room to fine tune their set-ups, we could see some cars out of position.
Rain is expected across all three days of the race weekend, which is bound to throw more spanners in the works. To find out what’s going to happen, here’s how to watch the Austrian Grand Prix.
