The F1 action continues this weekend in Spielberg, Styria, for the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen is still in danger of receiving a race ban if he is given one penalty point in Austria, but instead he will be concerned with putting on a show for his loyal fanbase, the Orange Army, at round 11 of this year's campaign.

The Dutchman's supporters will not be pleased if Verstappen's rival George Russell comes out on top in Austria, with a Mercedes resurgence in the air after the Brit's victory at the Canadian GP.
Elsewhere, Oscar Piastri remains in the lead of the F1 drivers' standings following his collision with McLaren team-mate Lando Norris in Montreal, where the British papaya star emerged without a single point to his name.
However, the championship is still up for grabs, and fortunes could swiftly change during the Austrian GP this weekend. But first things first, practice!
