5 talking points after the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix

Verstappen's fantastic run of form at Spielberg

F1 Grand Prix of Austria

Before he arrived in Austria, Max Verstappen had only 5 wins against his name. As he left Austria, he not only increased his tally, grabbing a famous sixth win, his second overall at Spielberg but also set the fastest lap of the day.

His brilliant 1:07:475 on Lap 60 emerged as the fastest lap of the day. In a truly incredible drive, Verstappen put the fans to the edge of their seats, his Red Bull right on top of the proceedings and provided great entertainment to hundreds of thousands of attendees, drenched in orange.

But above anything else, Max Verstappen was able to execute a range of breathtaking overtakes at the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix. Before he went on to own the climax of the race, through that daring move on Leclerc, Verstappen had also passed the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas a few laps before.

He fought bravely throughout the contest. And, he was able to prove a simple fact that despite starting poorly, if a driver has courage, then he can make it count in the end.
