Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix 2021 - pre practice

Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix 2021 - pre practice

Published by Motorsport.com, 29 June 2021

Formula 1 is going nowhere this weekend when the Austrian GP takes place, the ninth round of the 2021 championship, the second at the Red Bull Ring. One of the few changes will be the tyres, which will feature a softer range offered by Pirelli. Teams and drivers will try to take the lessons learned from last weekend to try to correct mistakes or maintain the good time.

Will Red Bull 'sweep' the two stages at home? Will Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton provide an answer equal to what they have both been doing in recent years? Regardless of the two teams and the main drivers in the championship, the betting world covers other sides of the same grid and the Brazilian Motorsport.com team selected some tips for the Austrian GP.

Sergio Perez barely stole the third position from Valtteri Bottas in the Styrian GP. The Mexican was harmed by the team itself, which took its pit stop, which ended up lacking to try to maneuver over the Finn. For the next race, at the same location, Red Bull must not make the same mistake and have both of its drivers on the podium. Top-3: Sergio Perez

Ferrari did very well in the Styrian GP, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc finishing in sixth and seventh positions respectively. The scenario for this weekend will be very similar to what was seen and, barring one of the Ferrari drivers getting into trouble at the start of the race, both should be in the top ten again, given the current solidity of the Italian team. Both Cars in Points: Ferrari

Lando Norris has been one of the highlights of the championship so far. The McLaren driver has scored points in every race so far, which gives him fourth place in the championship, ahead of Mercedes's Valtteri Bottas, as well as more than double the points of his teammate Daniel Ricciardo. He also comes in a three-fifth-place streak. Top-6: Lando Norris
