The second part of Formula 1's triple-header takes to the Red Bull Ring for the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix. Back-to-back races in Austria makes it a repeat of the start of last season. 

We head to Red Bull's home race with Max Verstappen top of the drivers' championship, 12 points clear of Lewis Hamilton. 

Red Bull sits 37 points clear of Mercedes in the constructors' championship, benefiting from Sergio Perez's impressive recent form. Mercedes dominated both races at the Red Bull Ring in 2020 with Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas taking one victory each.

Given the recent form of Red Bull and its impressive straight-line speed at the Circuit Paul Ricard, it is expected to be favourites once again.
