    +0.068 Russell's Win, Verstappen's Crash & Red Bull's New Upgrades

    What a wild weekend at the Austrian GP! George Russell claimed his second win of the 2026 season and the seventh Formula 1 victory of his career at the Austrian Grand Prix, but the story started a day earlier — Verstappen spun into the barriers at high speed on the last runs in Q3, bringing out yellow flags, while Russell lifted off the throttle and still went fastest to beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to pole. Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli was left ruing the moment too, having aborted his lap after thinking he'd seen double waved yellow flags instead of single. On race day, Verstappen's team-mate Isack Hadjar and McLaren's Lando Norris completed late overtakes on Leclerc to take sixth and seventh, with the Ferrari driver finishing in eighth. It capped a rough weekend for the Scuderia, as Hamilton, who'd qualified third, finished down in fifth and admitted afterward it felt "more of a reality check". We break down the yellow-flag drama, Red Bull's upgrade package, the Ferrari power unit struggles, and whether Leclerc's stock is falling as Hamilton finds his feet. Plus, our Driver, Team, and Melon of the Day awards with the usual paddock banter — and a look ahead to Silverstone, one of F1's most demanding tracks for engine deployment and harvesting.
