F1 returns to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix just a week after the home team dominated in the Styrian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen was never challenged on his way to a 35-second victory over Lewis Hamilton, who endured a rather lonely race in second.

It was, however, Hamilton that led the way in Friday practice with the Briton leading a Mercedes one-two with championship-leader Verstappen only third fastest.

Ahead of the Saturday running, Hamilton's commitment to F1 going forward was confirmed with the Mercedes driver putting pen to paper on a new two-year deal sealing his future with the team until the end of the 2023 season.
