Just one week after the French GP the Scuderia Ferrari team moves to Austria for the next round of the 2019 season. With work still taking place behind the scene the team is working hard to turn their season around.
For all the talk about engines, Ferrari remained ahead of Mercedes in terms of straight-line speed in qualifying and race pace, and with the modern incarnation of the old Osterriechring dominated by straights for the first half of the lap, that could well give Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc something to smile about.
The circuit’s high altitude venue will place serious demand on the power units which will have to cope with a lap spent at full throttle for nearly 70%. The track only has nine corners but its character is derived from the significant undulation throughout lap and four opportunities for overtaking.
Follow us later in the afternoon for the latest updates and results from the Red Bull Ring, as the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF90, ready to challenge Mercedes and Red Bull for the win.
