The weekend sprint format returns to the Red Bull Ring this weekend.

Max Verstappen will start the sprint race from pole position after seeing his F1 World Drivers’ Championship lead cut to 34 points at a dramatic British Grand Prix last time out as Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez finished runner-up after first winner Carlos Sainz.

Charles Leclerc lost in Ferrari’s strategy to drop to fourth in the Silverstone race, which puts him 43 points behind Verstappen in the standings.
