On Sunday, Verstappen will try for his third win in three weeks! It might not be as easy as it sounds though. So don't miss the Austrian Grand Prix, which will start at this time!

Max Verstappen is clearly feeling comfortable at the Red Bull Ring. Last weekend the Dutchman dominated on Saturday and Sunday and nobody came even close to him. And during the second qualifying session at the Red Bull Ring Verstappen was again fastest and has an excellent starting position for the race.

The gap with the number two was remarkably small. And that was not Lewis Hamilton or Valtteri Bottas, but Lando Norris in his McLaren. The young Briton came very close to securing the first pole position of his career. If he gets the chance on Sunday, he won't hesitate to battle it out with Max for the win either.

Where has Mercedes gone?

Verstappen's usual competition was nowhere to be seen on Saturday. Hamilton and Bottas had to settle for P4 and P5 respectively and apart from Norris also Sergio Perez had to put up with them. The Finn could also get a grid penalty from the stewards.

It all looks very comfortable for the Red Bull Racing team, but everything can still change during a Grand Prix. This time there might be some rain during the race. You don't want to miss the second race at the Red Bull Ring, so tune in at 14:00 for the Austrian Grand Prix
