The Red Bull Ring has a reputation for shaking up the F1 order, with several factors pointing to the chance of a shock Max Verstappen defeat, writes Mark Hughes, who is keeping a close watch on Ferrari
Even if we know with a fair degree of confidence coming into any '23 grand prix weekend that Max Verstappen is likely to win it, how he does so, how close the competition can get, who forms the closest threat and why, are all imponderables. Even in this age of optimisation, of deep monitoring and understanding of all the variables.
The Red Bull Ring is historically pretty effective at shaking up those variables. It's an unusual venue in many ways, with only seven corners that the car recognises as such, unusual cooling demands and unconventional rewards and penalties for downforce and drag, very much rear tyre limited. Add to those a couple of key car updates (notably Ferrari) and the fact that it's a sprint format race.
