Follow along live as Max Verstappen seeks his fifth-straight Grand Prix win
Can Max Verstappen power to his fifth-straight grand prix victory? Or will someone — anyone — deny the Championship leader a win at the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver has won four-straight races, dating back to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and is coming off a win in Saturday’s F1 Sprint race. Verstappen has been dominant all weekend, qualifying on pole for the GP Friday, qualifying up front in the Sprint Shootout, and then pulling away from the field in the Sprint race itself.
His toughest competition? That is probably teammate Sergio Pérez. But Verstappen will start with a big advantage over his Red Bull teammate, as Pérez failed to advance to Q3 on Friday and will start the Austrian Grand Prix in 15th position.
Verstappen will also have the Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. to contend with at the start, as they will start second and third, respectively. Lurking just behind them? Lando Norris, who has a pair of third-place finishes in his Red Bull Ring past, and Lewis Hamilton, who will start fifth.
We will have live coverage of the Austrian Grand Prix kicking off Sunday morning. Until then, you can revisit Friday’s qualifying session, relive the Saturday Sprint, and check out all our F1 coverage.
