Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Verstappen leads the Drivers’ Championship by eighteen points over Hamilton after extending his lead at the Styrian Grand Prix last weekend.
Previous race
At the Styrian Grand Prix — held on the same circuit one week ago — Verstappen won from Hamilton. Bottas came third, taking his first podium since Spain. Three cars collided at turn 3 on the opening lap, forcing Gasly out of the race.
Entrants
Callum Ilott drove for Alfa Romeo in FP1 in place of Giovinazzi. Roy Nissany drove for Williams in FP1 in place of Russell. Guanyu Zhou drove for Alpine in FP1 in place of Alonso, making his Formula One practice debut.
Tyre choices
Pirelli brings the C3, C4, and C5 compounds — one step softer than the selection used at last week’s Styrian Grand Prix, adjusted to match the double event at the same venue.
