Max Verstappen will be looking to win the Austrian Grand Prix for the fifth time having won the event a record four times.
Most recent race
The Red Bull Racing driver was at his best at the most recent race on the 2024 Formula One schedule which was the Spanish Grand Grand Prix on 23 June.
Verstappen started second on the grid behind Lando Norris of McLaren and he went on to win the race collecting 25 points from the race.
Formula One title ambitions
The reigning Formula One world champion extended his lead at the top of the World Drivers' Championship standings as he is now on 214 points.
Verstappen is 69 points clear of second-placed Norris as the duo go head-to-head for this season's Formula One world title.
Why Verstappen could win the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix
The Hasselt-born racing driver is a clear favourite to win this race for the fifth time having won it in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023.
Verstappen has also won two races in a row - the Canadian Grand Prix and Spanish Grand Prix - and he will be targeting a third consecutive victory.
What did he say?
"I think what made the race was the beginning. I took the lead and then had a buffer in that first stint and could eke out a gap," Verstappen said after winning the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix,
"After that we had to drive defensively. Lando and McLaren were very quick. I think we did everything well. I am very happy to win here. It was about managing the tyres.
"They get very hot around here so you are sliding around quite a lot. I am very happy to win here."
