A potential three-way battle awaits at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend – and that's just the teams. Lewis Hamilton sensationally smashed the Mercedes monopoly last time out with his first ever GP victory as a Ferrari driver, and the Red Bull Ring has been a particularly happy hunting ground for Lando Norris.

Austrian Grand Prix 2026 Preview
Save for an impressive second-place finish in Miami, Norris has gone under the radar so far this season. But the reigning champion made the podium again in Barcelona, benefitting from the electrical issue that forced Kimi Antonelli to retire his car when he was in second, to stay well within reach of Hamilton and George Russell.
Norris has fared pretty well in Spielberg over the years. It was the site of his first F1 podium in 2020 and his first proper duel with Max Verstappen in 2024, something he'd previously shied away from. In 2025, he won there for the first time.
Although it was through no fault of his own, Antonelli's failure to score points in Barcelona has the potential to play on his mind. Not only has it allowed Hamilton to take a hefty chunk out of his championship lead, but it comes just as he returns to a circuit at which he retired early a year ago, due to a collision with Verstappen.
Can the 19-year-old hold his nerve, or is the momentum shifting?
