Max Verstappen acknowledged that Red Bull's package for the Austrian GP was a step in the right direction, but said that the steps taken so far this season have been easier than those ahead.
The 2026 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix kicks off at the Red Bull Ring. On Friday, FP1 will start at 14:30 CEST and FP2 at 18:00 CEST; the FIA has issued a heat hazard warning for the weekend.
Aston Martin's field director, Mike Krack, responded to claims that Fernando Alonso might leave the team and return to Alpine. Krack said Alonso shouldn't retire and that he hoped they would continue working together.
