The Red Bull Ring lived up to its name perfectly as Max Verstappen achieved a fourth career win at his team’s ‘home’ circuit in thoroughly commanding style.
Here are our conclusions from an Austrian Grand Prix that further strengthened Verstappen and Red Bull’s grip on the 2021 World Championship.
Max-imum return
Last week, we said Mercedes had no answers to the Max attack they are receiving. It was the same again seven days on, by virtue of an arguably even more authoritative performance.
This is title-winning form, make no mistake. Such comparisons should not really be made, but what Verstappen is showing just now is dominance like that enjoyed by Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton at their peak.
