What are our F1 writers watching in Austrian Grand Prix

2025 Formula 1 season moving towards midway point McLarenNow the initial dominance is threatened and its drivers are crashing in Canada.

After going well in Austria in recent years, McLaren will be hoping to rebuild her course as other people show their recent results that PAN does not have a flash.

Here, the F1 Author of Autosport explains what they are looking to see in styria, and why.

To see who has an unnecessary collision – or what

Red bull ring and bizarre contretemps run by hand. Until you have not been hidden under the Alps for the last few months, it cannot escape your notice Max Verustapane A race is on the verge of ban to earn 11 penalty points in the last 12 months.

His visit to that point was in Austria last season when he raised two points (as well as a time) for his share in a late race collision. Lando Noris Filling for the lead. George Russell Was surprised for the beneficiary Mercedes,

Verstappen vs Noris was something wrong with a previous red bull ring landscape, which included Vastapane and Charles Lakeler In 2019. There, after a wheel-banged battle, the verster became strong, while the Lakeler was loudly left for Heromp about running the etiquette-and other inter-red bull ring points of recent years, the track range.

Three years ago, the Streen foothills echoed for the sound of mutual repetition after the Mercedes team’s companions. Nico roseburg And Lewis Hamilton The collision collided, but they were only continuing a rich tradition: in 1999, in silver and behind it with a merc engine, David coolthard Clutchy Micah Hakkinan In the first lap.

In interim, Juan Pablo Montoya did Michael SchumacherWhen he tried to turn him 3, he tried to pass it sideways.

Everything is against you in Austria. If the noise is not the ‘Orange Army’, then Wildlife: During the practice in 1987, before the infamous race of three restarts, Stephen Johanson killed a deer in his McLaren.

Beware of furniture too. This is the only site where a driver has crashed after winning the race. mind how you go! Stuart Kodling

Red bull energy

I am really eager to go back to the red bull ring, because for me Austrian Grand Prix is ​​one of the fine motor racing places in Europe. Yes, it is no osteorching and some of the most most hair-ejaculating characteristics of that horrific old site have been removed or neutralized, but it is still a circuit that lends itself for good, hard racing.

Even modern-day F1 is correct in cars, with important overtaking opportunities in turn 3 and turn 4 and drivers are capable of taking different lines through Turn 4 that expand up to 6. Thankfully, last year, the changes in the Karbs, the 2023 ludicus track-limits felt greatly improved.

Add to the magnificent background of Sterian Alps, which is coitusing against the track, and luxurious, huge press room that sees the entire circuit, and you have one of the most picturesque places throughout the year. Malevolent

Shark circles in McLaren

The Austrian Grand Prix of Formula 1 usually serves some upset and often has a very hot anticipated race on the F1 calendar, and this year is no different. Red Bull’s Max Vastapane is close to one-a-half ban, a new 2025 race winner is riding a high ride in George Russell and whispers that McLaren may not have already already already a major force in the season.

The Papaya team had a weekend off weekend in Montreal, in which drivers Lando Noris and Oscar piastry No match for Mercedes speed. The pair collision at the closing stages of the Grand Prix also eliminated the race of Noris and the cost of the side precious points. After less than two weeks and its rivals will be designed to jump on any signal of weakness.

Disappointing weekend came in just one race after a new technical instruction came into force to climb to the flexible front wings, which can cut many ideas McLaren’s profit. In Spain, TD had little impact, but McLaren looked like a completely different team in Canada.

If the squad is away from the speed around the red bull ring of Austria, which is a separate track for Montreal’s Circuit Gills Villainuway, it may blow the wide open to the drivers’ championship race. Piastry is leading the two race win on Vastapane, which is not far ahead of Russell himself. There will be a test of Austria progression by McLaren’s rivals, and this occurs when drivers such as Verustapen still have a lot of race left to mount a proper championship battle – which all really want in F1.

Kimi kicked

I am very impressed Andrea Kimi Antoneley So far this season, his difficult moments as well as their successful people.

His sprint pole in Miami showed a glimpse of what he was able to do, and he is now standing on the F1 podium for the first time for the first time in Montreal for the first time. In Japan and Australia, add that eye-catching performances and he looks like a world-liver from the bandh.

Emilia Romana, a Bhulakkad in his house, was a Grand Prix and then crashed in qualifying in Monaco, but he showed flexibility beyond her years to return to the track so soon.

Others made headlines in Canada, but another strong performance in Austria and Antoneley may soon be named on everyone’s lips. Mark man-bars
