Red Bull is ready for a homecoming party as they celebrate 100 wins in Formula One with a sellout crowd at the first Austrian Grand Prix since the death of the team’s billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz in last October.
Max Verstappen, Red Bull’s runaway leader and winner of six of eight races so far this season as he heads for his third championship in a row, will be favourite to make it 101 at Spielberg on Sunday.
The Dutch 25-year-old can become the most successful driver in Austrian Grand Prix history if he wins for a fourth time, one more than the record he shares with French great Alain Prost.
