We expect a strong McLaren challenge at the Red Bull Ring. The team from Woking have closed the gap to Red Bull considerably, and have arguably the fastest car on the grid – Lando Norris is the only driver to be placed within the points in every race in the 2024 season (Grand Prix only).
Max Verstappen and Red Bull will be wary of Mercedes as well, who produced a very strong performance, with Hamilton grabbing the last spot on the podium and Russell taking P4 at the Spanish GP.
Ferrari’s performance was below par at Sainz’s home race, with both drivers out in Q2 of qualifying and both drivers unhappy with each other after the race. However, Frederic Vasseur has a hopeful outlook heading into Austria and will aim to catch up to their rivals.
Track History
This track has been on the calendar since 1964, but there was a gap between 2004 to 2013, when the circuit was taken off the calendar for a couple of years.
Famously called the Red Bull Ring, this circuit is a fan favourite for both Red Bull supporters and Visa CashApp RB fans. Let’s hope Danny Ric and Yuki Tsunoda score some points around this track after the weekend they had in Barcelona.
Max Verstappen is a four time winner around here, taking victory in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023. Lewis Hamilton has won the Austrian GP twice in 2016 and 2020.
Who will add to the tally this weekend?
