For the eleventh round of the 2022 season, F1 is heading to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend in the city of Spielberg.
Max Verstappen currently leads the drivers' standings with a 34-point advantage over his teammate Sergio Perez. The reigning world champion will certainly be looking to secure his seventh win of the 2022 season at Red Bull's home track, where he has previously stood on the top step of the podium in three different seasons.
Carlos Sainz, who took his maiden Grand Prix win last weekend at Silverstone, will likely be taking a much-needed boost of confidence and momentum into the upcoming race. The Spaniard now has a mere 11-point gap to his teammate Charles Leclerc, who remains third in the championship.
Mercedes saw a strong performance at the British GP last weekend, where Lewis Hamilton clinched his third podium of the season after seriously challenging the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari. It can be safely assumed that the Silver Arrows are slowly starting to shake up the title fight this season, and could be a potential threat to the top two teams this weekend.
