The Austrian Grand Prix may have just changed the entire Formula 1 season.
George Russell returned to the top step, but the biggest story might actually be Red Bull. After months of chasing Mercedes and Ferrari, Max Verstappen finally had a car capable of fighting for victory again. Is this the comeback we've been waiting for?
Meanwhile, Ferrari's highly anticipated upgrade package completely missed the mark, Kimi Antonelli left Austria wondering what could have been after another incredibly quick weekend, Oscar Piastri bounced back in style, and Lando Norris endured another frustrating race.
In this episode of Paddock 43, we break down all the biggest winners, losers, surprises and talking points from the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix, plus what it all means heading into the next round of the Formula 1 season.
