And I’ll leave you with our report from the Red Bull Ring. Thanks for reading!

And Christian Horner: “They were very important points today and congratulations to Ferrari, they had a quicker car throughout the majority of the race. Max was coming back at the end there but our tyre deg was higher from halfway through the first stint and it was hard to combat that. Ferrari just seemed lighter on the tyres and obviously they had a pace advantage and that gives you more strategic options.

“Losing Checo was obviously hugely disappointing. It is unlucky for them today with Carlos but our pace at the end of the race, we still have the fastest lap, but we didn’t have the range we had yesterday and that is something we need to understand. Over the two races we have only given away five points with Max so it is not too bad. We will bounce back in France.”
