After a stopover in Canada and the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit in Montreal, the Formula 1 is back in Europe for the Austrian Grand PrixFrom June 27th to 29th, many issues will be on the agenda for Spielberg, where the scenario was intended to be epic and tumultuous last year. Indeed, George Russell finished the event on the first step of the podium, thus beating Oscar piastri et Carlos Sainz, While Lewis Hamilton, winner in 2016 on this track, finished fourth.
The event that led to this astonishing podium finish at the time was none other than the collision that took place between the two leaders, Lando Norris et Max Verstappen. Causing the last place for the Briton, and a somewhat lucky fifth position for the Dutchman, this Grand Prix marked the advent of a rivalry suggesting a potential battle for the title when McLaren seemed to regain a definite advantage in the summer.
This year, the stakes will be completely different, in a context where, for the first time, the two single-seaters of the Woking team collided in Montreal. Author of a frankly daring maneuver, Lando Norris was forced to retire a few laps from the finish, while Oscar Piastri could only finish fourth in a race won by… George Russell, this time imperial rather than opportunistic. Kimi Antonelli, for his part, climbed onto the first podium of his Formula 1 career during a weekend where Dorian Pin has also regained the lead in the F1 Academy championship.
This weekend of June 27-29, no F1 Academy on the program, but the return of the F2 and F3 in support of the F1 Grand Prix, where the rankings continue to tighten in the promotional categories.
