The Formula One campaign continues this weekend as the Styrian Grand Prix takes centre stage in the first of a double-header at the Red Bull Ring circuit in Austria.
It comes just a week after the French Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen extended his lead to 12 points over Lewis Hamilton in what was a thrilling race from start to finish.
Verstappen started the race on pole but immediately handed Hamilton the initiative with an uncharacteristic error. Red Bull outfoxed their Mercedes counterpart with a brilliant two-stop strategy, however, which saw the Dutchman overtake a helpless Hamilton at the death to claim his third victory of the campaign.
With Red Bull winning three races in a row, they are creeping ahead in both the driver and constructor championships after seven races.
Nonetheless, the campaign goes on, and it was Mercedes who won both of the two races in Austria last year, an outcome certainly less expected this time round.
With the race quickly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to know.
