The 2024 Formula One season is really starting to ramp-up as we approach the halfway stages, with the 11th meeting of the campaign commencing today with the Austrian Grand Prix.
Taking place at the Red Bull Ring, the home circuit of the team featuring a defending three-time world champion in Max Verstappen, who winning the Austrian Grand Prix has been somewhat of a formality in recent years — with Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes all looking to change that.
The latter duo certainly came close to doing that in Spain last weekend, with McLaren's Lando Norris finishing just two seconds behind Verstappen having qualified on pole and recorded the race's fastest lap. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell followed suit, and will be aiming to go even further towards the top of the podium in Austria.

Verstappen still holds a healthy lead in his bid for a fourth consecutive World Drivers' Championship, and after his close-run win over Norris in Barcelona, he has won seven of the 10 races held so far in another display of Red Bull dominance.
Fellow Red Bull-aligned drivers Sergio Perez (Verstappen's teammate), Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda (Racing Bulls-Honda) will all be looking to impress on a track they'll know well, with the onus now on all other teams to try and spoil their Austrian homecoming.
