A couple of weeks ago saw a first win of the season for George Russell in his Mercedes, who picked up his fourth career victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. Four-time Championship winner Max Verstappen and Italian Kimi Antonelli, in his first season in F1, also made the podium last time out and have some momentum heading to Austria.

McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris remain the men to beat, though, and the top two in the World Drivers’ Championship standings have the raw pace to once again be frontrunners in Spielberg.

Having been frustrated by a collision with Norris last time out that cost him the race, Piastri will likely be a man on a mission here. He's eyeing his sixth race victory of the campaign, and looks good value at 13/8 with Sky Bet.

His team-mate, Norris, is at 9/4, while Verstappen is 7/2 with the same bookmaker. One to consider is that Max has form in Austria. He has won here four of the last seven years, although a disappointing fifth-place finish last year underlines that he's no longer the dominant force he was when that run started.

Last year's winner? Well, that was Russell. Could he follow up Canada and go back-to-back? At 8/1 he's definitely worth considering for a podium finish, and maybe even the top step.

Pick: George Russell to win: (8/1, Sky Bet)

Following on from the above, Russell is a serious contender. He has been finding some rhythm of late, with the frustration he caused Verstappen in Spain followed up by victory in Montreal.

The Norfolk-born 27-year-old won the Austrian Grand Prix here last year and has the real potential to make it back-to-back race victories for the first time in his career.
