Austria GP Who Wins
Date: Sun, 10 Jul, 14:00 GMT
The Austrian Grand Prix is a Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile sanctioned motor racing event that was held in 1964, 1970–1987, and 1997–2003. The Grand Prix returned to the Formula One calendar in 2014.
Things were finally looking up for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes heading into the final part of qualifying for this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. But their hopes of challenging for a first win of the season at the Red Bull Ring evaporated into the Styrian air in a disastrous 14 minutes.
Hamilton and team-mate George Russell both crashed out in Q3, as championship leader Max Verstappen took a last-gasp pole position from under the nose of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Two red flags came out after each crash, and both Mercedes drivers could only look on as their rivals battled for pole position in the closing minutes.
As Carlos Sainz slotted into second soon after, the only person who could deny Leclerc a seventh pole position of the season was Verstappen. And on a track where he has won four times and generally excels, the Dutchman crossed the line to secure first spot on the grid for Saturday’s sprint race by just 0.029sec.
Race Picks:
Max Verstappen @4/7 – To Win
Carlos Sainz @8/1 – Podium e/w
George Russell @12/1 – Podium e/w
Verstappen is in dominant mood here and will be impossible to beat baring a car failure. Hamilton after his crash, most likely spoiled his chances of a podium but may well finish in the points, top 6 with a push. Russell will in our opinion be closest to Verstappen and is good value for a podium spot.
