The Austrian Grand Prix could prove to be a highly dramatic one as the pack bunches together around the mid-point of the 2022 season.

Max Verstappen appeared to be running away with the title, but car issues led to him finishing seventh in the British Grand Prix, while rivals gained.

Carlos Sainz has experienced a mixed year with Ferrari but will be relieved to have won his first Grand Prix with the Italians and he is within touching distance of Charles Leclerc in the driver standings.

Leclerc is only single figures behind Red Bull star Sergio Perez, and while the gap to Verstappen at the top remains, another bad result for the reigning champion could blow the title race wide open once more.

British trio George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris are placed in that order between fifth and seventh in the overall standings with all three drivers putting in improved performances lately, though Russell’s British GP retirement dented his chances of establishing more of a lead.
