Austrian Grand Prix
Austria
Race review
From Q3 onwards Russell made it look easy in Austria, pole to flag, Verstappen in his mirrors the whole way, and Antonelli nabbing third to complete the podium. The real story though? Critnix absolutely nailed it with a 66-pointer, and Dominator isn't far behind on 64. If you had Russell locked in, you made your weekend work. Hard luck if Sainz, Perez, or Bottas were filling your garage though as that's three drivers who didn't even make it to the chequered flag. Dominator's finally muscled past Whacky Races at the top of the championship after what looks like a genuinely brutal weekend for last week's leader. Meanwhile No Nuts Just Spanners is climbing fast on the back of two solid scoring rounds. The rest of the field's bunched up in the middle which kinda makes it exciting. :) Seven rounds down, plenty of season left to go and we are off to Silverstone next weekend!
