It's time for another Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, this time the race will be running under the title of Steiermark Grand Prix. Can Max Verstappen take revenge on Mercedes, or will Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas dominate again?

Hope for Red Bull Racing

Just like last week in the Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen will start again from the second place. The Dutchman has a good chance to challenge Lewis Hamilton, but it is hoped for the team that the Steiermark GP is not a repeat of the Austrian GP. Still, the Red Bull driver seems a lot more hopeful this weekend and that is due to the upgrades that have been made. The car is a lot more balanced and therefore a lot faster over the short Red Bull Ring.

Other weather conditions

However, Mercedes will certainly not be a 'pushover' for the British team. The black arrows remain lightning-fast and during qualifying, Lewis Hamilton managed to take pole position at an unprecedented 1.2 seconds away from number two. No rain is forecast for the race. Now that the track is green and there is little data available, anything could be possible during the Steiermark Grand Prix.

Midfield Surprises

This also applies to midfield. McLaren and Racing Point have profiled themselves over the past few sessions as serious teams that can take advantage of the mistakes made by the top teams. However, Ferrari will not be part of that anymore. After another dramatic qualification, the team will have to find out where it went wrong. With starting positions in tenth and fourteenth place, it does not look hopeful for the team from Maranello. But who knows, maybe they can surprise again!
