The Red Bull Ring is probably my favourite track outside of the 'classic six' (Monaco, Monza, Spa, Silverstone, Suzuka, Interlagos), and I would put it in the top three along with Silverstone and Interlagos for tracks that provide the best racing and wheel-to-wheel action. I think Verstappen will probably dominate but expect a good race in the mid-pack. Haas also traditionally go well here, so hopefully they can get a good result. However, I'm not too pleased about the sprint format, which I still haven't warmed to and particularly dislike how it is worth eight points for a win this year, making a good car this weekend a lot more valuable than at most other weekends. Hopefully it won't last too many years.
