Max Verstappen has made a tremendous start to his second weekend at the Red Bull Ring. The Dutchman of Red Bull Racing was already very fast during the first weekend and has continued that momentum into the second weekend. In the end, he was over two-tenths of a second quicker than second-placed Charles Leclerc.

The Ferrari duo, along with Carlos Sainz, were immediately quick for the Austrian Grand Prix. Mercedes were disappointing, shooting wide during practice and clearly looking for the right set-up to threaten Red Bull this weekend.

They will have to change their tune-up because at the Steiermark Grand Prix Verstappen was clearly the fastest and won the race by leading all laps. With Bottas in fourth and Hamilton in seventh, there is clearly still room for improvement.
