After what happened at Silverstone, the Formula One in the month of July it has no intention of stopping and is in fact ready to get back on track. It flies in Austria, Red Bull Ring, for the tenth appointment of the season, in which the novelties, also in terms of the structure of the weekend.
particular phase
Formula One is therefore back on track after the disaster, in therelayer of strategyand Ferrari towards Leclerc. You will need to change the page immediately if you want to try to earn important points in view of the world. Let's talk about the second race out of four scheduled before the summer break and, from the Red Bull Ring, you can no longer be wrong. The meeting between Binotto and Leclerc it may have been a clarifier between the parties and may have increased the desire to get off to a great start this weekend. On the other hand, he doesn't need meetings, as Carlos is already fired up after Silverstone Sainz. Spanish pilot is ready for Austria and its ambitions, given obviously what happened in Great Britain, are definitely high. The goal is very simple: to continue on this streak of good results (and podiums).
Between joys and redemptions
Pay attention above all but to the hosts. In fact, we fly to Austria and therefore to the home of Red Bull. The Milton Keynes team will surely go to redemption with Max Verstappen after problem had in Britain. A hitch at the rear, followed by the breaking of the bottom, which didn't allow the Dutchman to run a good race. The seventh place in the standings speaks for itself, but it should not be forgotten that Verstappen himself, before the problem, was the leader of the GP. Objective continuity instead for his teammate Sergio Perez who, following the comeback collected at Silverstone, will try to earn more points to keep Charles Leclerc behind in the drivers' standings.
Austria: the moment of truth
At Mercedes, however, Austria can represent the litmus test. There are many reasons and the main ones are undoubtedly linked to the Silverstone race in which the W13, especially thanks to Lewis Hamilton, it seems to be reborn. It's obviously too early to tell, but if things work out at the Red Bull Ring as well, it's clear to think that the updates brought to the car can be considered excellent. Ransom race instead for George Russell who last Sunday had to stop, with a retirement, his consecutive streak of races in the top five.
