The F1 2021 season continues next weekend with the Austrian GP!
Read on to find out all the latest news on the next weekend in the Formula 1 calendar - the Austrian Grand Prix.
LATEST - Verstappen Wins Styrian GP, Austria Up Next
Max Verstappen dominated the field to take home the points in Red Bull's home GP. If this result means anything for next week's Austrian GP on the same track, his lead at the top will only grow larger.
You have to feel for George Russell though who after missing out on Q3 by 0.008, was driving a blinder in 8th before mechanical issues forced him to withdraw. The sooner he gets his Mercedes offer, the better.
Turkish Grand Prix to rejoin 2021 Formula 1 calendar
Following the news that the Marina Bay race cannot go ahead as planned on October 3rd, F1 will instead be racing around Intercity Istanbul Park – the circuit where Lewis Hamilton clinched his seventh World Championship title last year.
Earlier this season the Turkish Grand Prix was removed from the calendar due to international travel restrictions but at the time the promoter had requested the potential to re-join the calendar later in the season if possible.
