Austrian GP 2022
What a race that was in Silverstone! A record crowd of 400.000 during the 4-day event enjoyed the spectacle and saw the home hero, Sir Lewis Hamilton, take his 10th consecutive podium in the circuit and Carlos Sainz celebrate his first-ever race win in F1. The picture may be very different in Austria where the Red Bulls tend to have a historical advantage. Leclerc is desperate to take a victory after 3 winless months (!) while Mercedes needs to prove that their performance in the UK was due to the upgrades they brought and not circumstantial.
The model, understandably, predicts that Max Verstappen will start from pole and take the win in Red Bull ring. I would like to believe that the Ferraris, Perez and at least one Mercedes driver will challenge him for the victory and we will get to see a different winner in this track.
