2024 F1 AUSTRIAN GP QUALIFYING AND Sprint by Peter Windsor
1,800Saturday at the Red Bull Ring was characterised first by the F1 Sprint race and then by qualifying for Sunday's Austrian GP. And it was Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen who dominated both. After an early-lap skirmish with McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris, Max comfortably won the sprint; and he was in a class of his own in qualifying, securing the pole by relatively large margin of 0.404sec. In this video Peter Windsor details the section of road on the short Red Bull lap that best showcased the talent of Verstappen - and compares the speeds there of Max's closest rivals. He also looks at qualifying as a whole and at the key elements of the sprint race.
