Red Bull takes blame as Verstappen crashes in Austrian GP qualifying

Red Bull apologised to Max Verstappen and took responsibility after his RB22 spun out at Turn 9 in Q3 due to rear aero damage, with the team saying Verstappen had no chance to recover after a loss of rear downforce. Verstappen said a big loss of grip led to an uncontrollable spin, and while the exact cause isn’t being commented on publicly, rear-wall damage is suspected. The team believes the crash will have no impact on Sunday's race, though Red Bull is also dealing with a separate Turn 3 power-unit issue and continuing to learn from its major upgrade package.

Verstappen questions delayed double-yellow flags as FIA explains protocol

Max Verstappen argued the crash at Turn 9 at the Red Bull Ring should have triggered double yellow flags sooner, but the FIA said marshals first showed a single yellow and only upgraded to double yellows after a 15–20 second assessment; during that gap, Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli passed the scene, and the FIA outlined the standard procedure for determining flag upgrades based on danger.

Ferrari could not back up its Barcelona win in Austria as Leclerc called Friday's practice difficult and the car lacked grip and pace, leaving them far from the front and behind Mercedes and McLaren in FP2. Team boss Fred Vasseur cited sweltering, variable conditions and tyre degradation as factors and said Ferrari still has a lot of work to do, with only a modest engine upgrade in the pipeline and the potential to unlock more overnight.

Austrian GP: Track Limits, Cheating, and Red Bull's Self-Inflicted Threats

Austrian GP: Track Limits, Cheating, and Red Bull's Self-Inflicted Threats

The Austrian Grand Prix was marred by track limits violations, resulting in a slew of post-race penalties that shuffled the grid. The issue of track limits, particularly at Turn 10, was a major talking point. Suggestions for physical deterrents like walls, gravel traps, and sausage curbs were discussed, but safety concerns and practicality make it challenging to find a perfect solution. The FIA plans to renew efforts to get gravel placed on the outside of certain corners, and there may be discussions to redefine the edge of the track. The FIA will also review race control's handling of the breaches and explore more efficient methods of enforcement. The high number of penalties was unusual, but the FIA was criticized for the delay in handing them out. The incident highlights the need for action to prevent similar situations in the future and maintain the appeal of F1 to new fans.
