After the Styrian Grand Prix, all the attention turns towards round 9 of the season with the Austrian GP. Red Bull Ring will host the back-to-back Grand Prix, just as it did in 2020.

Max Verstappen won the last race at a dry Red Bull Ring single-handedly, leading every lap of the race to claim his 14th career win. But this time around conditions won’t be similar as rain could spice up the whole main race. There’s a 33% rain probability during the race.
