Formula 1 returns to action this weekend with the Austrian Grand Prix, marking the ninth round of the season.
Max Verstappen arrives into the event with a 69-point lead over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez in the World Championship standings. Can the Dutchman clinch his fifth consecutive race victory of the campaign at his team's home track?
He got off to the best possible start in the weekend's only practice session, finishing fastest despite not using a set of Soft tyres.
He continued that in Qualifying, just edging the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc by 0.048s for a fourth straight pole at both the Austrian GP venue and in the 2023 season.
But Perez could only manage 15th after suffering multiple deletions of laps due to track limits in Q2.
