Browsing: Austrian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen stamped his authority on the opening practice session of the Austrian Grand Prix, setting the fastest time despite a suspected engine glitch that briefly sidelined him. The reigning champion’s Red Bull Racing team will be relieved to see him bounce back and continue his dominant form ahead of this weekend’s F1 action.

McLaren has unveiled key upgrades to its Formula 1 car, debuting a new front wing and suspension fairings, with the primary goal of addressing an imbalance in the performance of its MCL38 in both low and high-speed corners. These modifications highlight the team’s dedication to optimizing its F1 tyre performance and overall pace.

As the Austrian Grand Prix approaches, Max Verstappen has made it clear that he doesn’t want his Red Bull Formula 1 team to settle for their current standing in the Formula 1 standings. Despite having three wins in the last five races, Verstappen believes that the team should strive for more, rather than accepting their current position as the new normal.

Red Bull Racing is poised to tackle the challenge of understanding why its highly-anticipated Spain upgrade package failed to deliver the desired results. The team will take a unique approach to the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, with both drivers running in split specifications to identify the root cause of the problem.
