Verstappen wins fifth race in a row, builds up nearly insurmountable lead in championship standings.
Max Verstappen made it five on the bounce, and seven for the season, as Red Bull’s unbeaten start to 2023 continued on home turf at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.At least this time Max Verstappen didn’t quite lead every lap of the Austrian Grand Prix, though it certainly felt like it.
After dominating the Sprint Race on Saturday it meant Verstappen scooped all 34 points on offer for the weekend’s activities. His title lead over Sergio Perez now stands at 81 points. If he continues out-scoring his rivals at this rate , he could wrap up the title as early as Qatar, in October, with five rounds to spare.
It means Ferrari is now only 22 points behind second-placed Mercedes in the championship and has reduced its deficit to third-placed Aston Martin to 16. Norris’ fourth came on a weekend in which McLaren introduced the next step of upgrades to its MCL60, with the team readying to work the newer specification for teammate Oscar Piastri in Britain next weekend.
“I think we have to be prudent,” said boss Andrea Stella. “Already I would say a sunny day, hot track, it would have been more difficult for us. We are prudent, but the comparison between the two cars, we are definitely more competitive on the new upgrades.” Russell described the race as “really challenging” and conceded he was “hoping for a little bit more from the Grand Prix.
