Will the Brit be able to make up the places in the race or is Verstappen heading for another win? We'll find out very soon - and you can watch it all online via an F1 Austria live stream. Sergio Perez, in the other Red Bull, was third, but Hamilton could only manage fourth place on the grid. That said, Verstappen was once again fastest in qualifying, taking pole position ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris. That brings a certain amount of extra strategy into the race, with the potential for teams to gain (or lose) places as they manage their rubber. Temperatures are also a lot lower than last weekend, and that appears to better suit the Mercedes cars. Verstappen was dominant last time out, picking up his third victory in four races and extending his lead over Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton to 18 points.īut don't necessarily expect a carbon copy of the last Grand Prix: this weekend the teams will be using softer tire compounds, and that in turn could mean some opt for a two-stop strategy rather than one.

The 2021 F1 Austrian Grand Prix takes place today (Sunday, July 4) at 9 a.m.
