Max drove a flawless race to win the Styrian Grand Prix and take a brilliant third career win at the Red Bull Ring ahead of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, as Checo narrowly missed out on claiming a third podium finish in a row after losing P3 to Valtteri Bottas.

"I am super happy to win here and doing it at home at the Red Bull Ring is always so special. It’s a whole Team effort so thank you very much to everyone here and back at the factory for another great win today." Said Max.

Only a few people can say they’ve been for a lap of the Red Bull Ring, even fewer are able to say they’ve drifted around it. So, what if we said you had the chance to be drifted around our home track with a Driftbrother, in their brand-new BMW M4 Competition model cars?

That's right, we're offering the chance for two people to sit in either Joe’s or Elias’ drift car as they take you for the ride of your life around the iconic track in their unique way.

Before we headed home to start our back-to-back Red Bull Ring races, we thought it would be a great time to talk to Red Bull Racing Honda’s Test and Reserve Driver Alex Albon about the Red Bull Ring and what the drivers can expect.

So see what he has to say about the track which only returned to the Formula One calendar in 2014 and has been a fan-favourite ever since.

MakingTheCall–ShiningALightOnStrategy

The French Grand Prix was a heart-in-mouth race for every Red Bull Racing Honda team member and fan. Especially Head of Race Strategy Will Courtenay, who was on the pit wall at Circuit Paul Ricard.

It was Will and his team’s call to concede track position and bring Max in for a second pit stop, giving the Dutchman 20 laps to make up the 18 seconds he had lost out to Lewis. It worked, with Max retaking the lead with under two laps to go, which led Christian Horner to summarise it as one “Ballsy call!“

So, to be able to make such a big call at a pivotal time in a race, what exactly do the strategists do? And how do they come to the decisions that will be the difference between winning and losing? To find out, we sat down with Will and Senior Strategy Engineer Hannah Schmitz.
