Austrian Grand Prix: F1 updates
Update: Date: 2025-06-29T12:03:47.000Z Title: The grid Content: Lando Norris (McLaren) Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) Oscar Piastri (McLaren) Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) George Russell (Mercedes) Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls) Max Verstappen (Red Bull) Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber) Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) Pierre Gasly (Alpine) Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) Alex Albon (Williams) Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) Franco Colapinto (Alpine) Oliver Bearman (Haas) Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) Esteban Ocon (Haas) Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) Carlos Sainz (Williams) Nico Hülkenberg (Sauber) Update: Date: 2025-06-29T12:00:32.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Brad Pitt may be wowing cinema audiences in the new F1 film, but if the current season is ever adapted for the big screen then Lando Norris would be the main protagonist. Tipped as the challenger most likely to dethrone Max Verstappen, the British driver struggled to deliver in the opening acts as teammate Oscar Piastri emerged as a title contender. The McLarens' collision in Canada marked a new low for Norris, but this weekend might see the narrative arc begin to turn. Norris is on pole here after producing his best qualifying drive of the season, while an angry Verstappen starts down in seventh. Piastri is in third place on the grid, with Ferrari making an overdue cameo – Charles Leclerc starts second, Lewis Hamilton fourth. With Silverstone and the season's halfway mark coming up next week, this could be a pivotal chapter for Norris and the F1 title race. It's lights out at 2pm (BST) at a sweltering Red Bull Ring, where we can expect more absolute cinema.

"It's been one of the reasons I've been able to pay some of my trips. "I didn't want to ask my parents for anything. I wanted everything to come from me and from my tennis. "I wasn't signed by these agencies because of my tennis, it was for my look.
