Fresh off the back of a thrilling British Grand Prix, Formula 1 quickly moves on to Red Bull’s home turf for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Red Bull’s lead title charger Max Verstappen suffered further Silverstone disappointment when he sustained damage from a piece of debris which severely impacted his performance and took him out of the equation for the podium, never mind victory.
But a further strategical wobble from Ferrari meant Charles Leclerc could not take full advantage, finishing only P4 as he slipped backwards in a frantic final few laps, Ferrari choosing to retain track position during a Safety Car period rather than pitting him for fresh soft tyres like those around him.
It was not all doom and gloom for Red Bull and Ferrari though. Carlos Sainz seized the opportunity to become a race winner in Formula 1 for the first time, while Sergio Perez’s P2 cushioned the blow for Red Bull in the Constructors’, bringing himself to within 34 points of Verstappen in the process.
Verstappen has won three of the latest four Austrian GPs but as well as Ferrari, Mercedes also were a threat at Silverstone and so could be on the scene once more at the Red Bull Ring.
And remember, sprint qualifying returns this weekend to add some extra spice!
