Lewis Hamilton comes into the Austrian Grand Prix on the cusp of equalling an unwanted all-time F1 record.
The Ferrari driver has not stood on a grand prix podium since second place at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, 12 races ago.
It means the Austrian GP will be Hamilton's 13th race since he stood on a podium - which could equal the worst run of his entire F1 career.
Between the 2023 Sao Paulo and 2024 Spanish Grands Prix, Hamilton did not stand on a podium, until taking third in Barcelona.
That run eclipsed the 11 races between the 2008 Brazilian and 2009 Hungarian Grands Prix.
Ferrari is expecting a more competitive weekend in Austria, with boss Fred Vasseur optimistic of the SF-25 performing well, with Hamilton last taking a podium at the Red Bull Ring with third in 2022.
He won in 2016, won the Styrian GP in 2020, with further podiums in '14, '15, '20, and '21, but do you think Hamilton will finally scoop a maiden grand prix podium for the Scuderia?
