Oscar Piastri goes into the race with 22-point lead in the Drivers' Championship over his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris and 43 ahead of current world champion Max Verstappen.

The first session of the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix is in the books with George Russell topping the times in Spielberg. Formula 1 has reached the 11th race of the 2025 season with Red Bull hoping for a good result at their home grand prix. With a new race engineer in his ears, Max Verstappen went second fastest with Oscar Piastri in third.

After a two week break, F1 is back and back in Europe for a run of six races with the summer break in the middle. After Austria we go to Silverstone, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands and then Italy.
