The summer break is over and Formula 1 is back for what promises to be a spellbinding second half of the 2021 season as the title race hots up.

Momentum dramatically swung the way of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes at the two races prior to the summer break as the seven-time world champion moved into an eight-point championship lead with victory at Silverstone and a third place in Hungary.

But Red Bull and Max Verstappen will be looking to inflict revenge and wrestle back the points lead after the Dutchman was taken out in the British GP and could only finish ninth in Budapest after getting caught up in the Turn 1 carnage.
