Meeting at Spielberg this Sunday, June 28 at 3:00 PM for the eighth round of the 2026 F1 season.
There is something almost mystical about the Styria circuit that hosts F1 this weekend. Nestled in the Austrian mountains, with its 60 meters of elevation change between the highest and lowest points of the track, the Red Bull Ring has always been a true reflection of real hierarchies. Since 1970, when the Österreichring hosted Formula 1 for the first time with its long, fast, and winding curves making it a favorite among drivers, this track has never lied. Shortened, modernized, and revived by Red Bull after years of neglect, it welcomed Formula 1 back in 2014 and has not looked back since. This Saturday, it is Mercedes that has made it its hunting ground.
George Russell has struck again. Precise and dominant, the Briton secures a pole position that confirms the dominance of the star firm in qualifying since the start of the season. A devilish lap concluded under yellow flags that will not stop generating discussion. Charles Leclerc, strong in Ferrari, will take his place alongside him on the front row. Behind them, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli find themselves in the second row in a mirror configuration.
Max Verstappen will start from fifth place. The Dutchman is responsible for the yellow flag at the end of Q3 that disrupted the final attempts. Lando Norris, the reigning world champion, is in sixth place, followed by Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad complete a top 10 with a 100% Racing Bulls lineup.

Hülkenberg, Ocon, Colapinto, Sainz, Albon, Pérez, Bottas, and then the two Aston Martins of Alonso and Stroll round out the grid.
