5 storylines we're excited about ahead of Austria

F1 returns to Europe for the Austrian Grand Prix following a dramatic Canadian race where George Russell claimed victory for Mercedes. The Silver Arrows hope to continue their strong form, while McLaren's Lando Norris seeks redemption after a collision with teammate Oscar Piastri in Montreal. All eyes will also be on Max Verstappen, who is just one penalty point away from a race ban, though two points expire after this event, easing pressure. Off-track, the highly anticipated 'F1' movie, featuring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is set for release, promising an authentic racing experience with input from Lewis Hamilton. Meanwhile, Williams has secured Team Principal James Vowles with a new long-term contract. His leadership has seen the team climb to fifth in the Constructors' Championship, marking their best start since 2016 and laying foundations for future success.
