That was the Hamilton versus Verstappen fight you need to see.

The Formula 1 race in Austria at the end of last week featured an intense battle between Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari), despite George Russell (Mercedes) winning the race. The two drivers engaged in a series of aggressive moves and counter-moves, drawing significant attention from fans. Verstappen attempted several risky overtakes, including a dangerous move on the outside of the track, which forced him to briefly leave the racing line and lose valuable position. Hamilton, meanwhile, tried to stay ahead while limiting Verstappen’s maneuvering space, leading to frustration from the Dutch driver who complained via radio. After reviewing footage, officials determined the clash was within the rules, though both drivers expressed their views afterward. Verstappen finished second, while Hamilton took fifth. In the championship standings after eight races, Kimi Räikkönen (Mercedes) leads with 171 points, followed by Russell (131) and Hamilton (125).

George Russell (Mercedes) je osvojil veliko nagrado Avstrije za svetovno prvenstvo formule 1, kar je bilo njegova druga zmaga v letošnji sezoni in sedma v njegovi karieri. Na dirkališču Red Bull v Spielbergu je Russell z dobrim štartom in preudarno vožnjo potrdil svojo zmago v kvalifikacijah ter se v skupnem seštevku povzpel na drugo mesto. Drugo mesto je zasedel Nizozemec Max Verstappen (Red Bull), tretji pa je bil vodilni v skupni razvrstitvi Italijan Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes).

Russell je po končani dirki v cilju poudaril, da je ta zmaga zelo pomembna za njega in za ekipo Mercedes. Rekel je, da ni pričakoval takega uspeha, posebej na dirkališču, ki mu ni nikoli ustrezalo. Zdaj pa je ta zmaga hkrati velika spodbuda za domačo dirko naslednji teden v Silverstonu. Verstappen je poudaril, da je izgubil preveč časa v prvem delu dirke, vendar je v nadaljevanju bil hiter. Poudaril je, da bi lahko posegal višje, če bi imel še nekaj krogov na voljo. Antonelli pa je poudaril, da je izgubil preveč časa v prvem delu dirke, vendar je v nadaljevanju bil hiter.

Ferrarijeva ekipa je bila v kvalifikacijah tik pred dvojno zmago, vendar na koncu nista izkoristila dobrih štartnih položajev. Britanec Lewis Hamilton in Monačan Charles Leclerc sta bila peti in sedmi. Mercedes, ki ima vodilna dirkača v skupnem seštevku, premočno vodi tudi v razvrstitvi konstruktorjev. Po osmih od dvaindvajsetih dirk ima pred Ferrarijem skoraj 100 točk prednosti.

Konec tedna v Avstriji je bilo zanimivo gledišče, saj sta se Verstappen in Hamilton borila za najboljše mesta. Verstappen je večkrat poskusil z agresivnimi napadi, vključno s tveganim poskusom po zunanji strani dirkališča, kjer je moral za trenutek zapeljati s steze in posledično izgubil dragocen oprijem. Hamilton pa se je vse pretege poskusil ostati spredaj, pri čemer je tekmecu puščal zelo malo manevrskega prostora. Po natančnem pregledu posnetkov so odločevalci presodili, da je bil dvoboj na meji, toda še v skladu s pravili. Po dirki je Hamilton zavrnil Verstappnove očitke in dejal, da je tekmecu vseskozi puščal dovolj prostora.

Konec tedna v Avstriji je bilo tudi zanimivo glede na rezultate v skupnem seštevku. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) vodi s 171 točkami, sledita mu Russell (131) in Hamilton (125). V razvrstitvi konstruktorjev vodi Mercedes s 302 točkami, sledi Ferrari s 204 točkami, nato pa McLaren-Mercedes s 159 točkami.

Prav tako je bilo zanimivo gledišče glede na prihodnje dirke. Naslednji teden bo v Silverstonu, kjer bo George Russell prvi favorit. Russell je v preteklosti na domači dirki še ni bil boljši kot peti, vendar je zdaj v skupnem seštevku drugi in ima možnost postati 14. zmagovalec Silverstona. V skupnem seštevku pred dirko za Veliko nagrado Velike Britanije vodi Antonelli s 171 točkami, sledita mu Russell (131) in Hamilton (125).

V Silverstonu bo tudi Lando Norris (McLaren) v posebni barvi, saj bo ekipa dirkala v nekoliko drugače obarvanem dirkalniku. Oranžno barvo bo zamenjala zelena, kar je bilo poseben izbor za ta konec tedna. Tudi Cadillac bo dirkal v barvah ameriške zastave, saj je četrtega julija največji ameriški praznik, dan neodvisnosti.

Kvalifikacije za dirko v Silverstonu so bile zanimive, saj je Antonelli zmagovalec sprinterske dirke in zlahek osvojil prvo mesto. Za njim sta se zvrstila oba Ferrarijeva voznika, vendar je Leclerc prehitel Hamiltona, ki je bil domači ljubljenec navijačev. Russell je za ekipnim kolegom na četrtem mestu zaostal kar 37 stotink sekunde.

Kvalifikacije so bile tudi zanimive zaradi nesreče Argentinca Franca Colapinta (Alpine), ki je s proge zletel v prvem delu. Jutri bo dirka za VN Velike Britanije na sporedu ob 16. uri po našem času.
