Hello and a very warm welcome to the Late Breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eade, Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking, reviewing the Austrian Grand Prix. Won by a Mercedes, but for the first time since Australia, won by George Russell. An important victory for him just one week before his home race as well. Joined on the podium by his teammate Kimi Antonelli in P3 and Max Verstappen in a somewhat improved Red Bull, finishing within... Two seconds of the victory in second place. Sam, did you enjoy that one? Yeah, that's yabba-dabba two wings for George this season. No, no, today it wasn't yabba-dabba. It was, was it? It sounded like an ambulance in the background. That's like what you're doing, George.
You can only win at racetracks that start with Os. So Oscar, I assume, is going to come up at some point and win that one. And that'll be packet here at that point. Move on. Come back again next year. Just the three wins for George Russell this year then. Yeah. Yeah. It might be, actually. If he's only going to win one every seven, it genuinely might. That's fair. It's good that Alice is a regular star of the show. I'm glad this hasn't gone too badly, yes. Harry's barely got a voice. Sam's loving life. And here I am. My toilet has broken. I'm very annoyed. On a Sunday afternoon.
Of all the days of Sunday.
And a toilet. It could have been so many other things. Why has the toilet got to break? Sam, let's take your mind off it with the beauty of moment of the race, with our driver of the day, worst driver of the day, and so much more about this Austrian GP. Let's start out front with that George Russell victory. Of course, got pole position yesterday in... should we say somewhat controversial circumstances with the whole discussion of single wave yellow versus double wave yellow George Russell ultimately understanding the flags correctly and taking that poll and from there able to convert it into a race victory he didn't have it all his own way Sam but what did you make of his win? I thought it was strong from Russell there were moments where the pace was not as expected and we saw in that mid part of the race I'm going to jump around a little bit on the timeline here that
Max was closing him in. And actually, I think it was more of a failing of Red Bull rather than a strength of Mercedes that the charge was saved off, essentially. But I thought Russell did enough through the whole Grand Prix to manage the tyres, manage the gap. It was only that few lap period where Max Verstappen was about a second and a half, two seconds away. It looked like it was ever in doubt. Great start off the line.
What happened at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix and who were the podium finishers?
No issues for that Mercedes car. Go away from the likes of the battling Ferraris and the McLarens trying to get involved. And of course, Max who carred through quickly. And from then on, it sounded like there was really one or two opportunities to ever really disrupt him. I thought he handled the pressure pretty well. What did you make of the win, Harry? Yeah, I agree. Of course. I agree. This could be a long hour. I thought it was strong, and to your point about obviously getting pole, the fact that he was on pole and converted that to a good start, I think that was a big part of him winning this race, because all of the other contenders for this win, like Antonelli, Verstappen, you could argue maybe Hamilton,
they're all getting in scraps in the early part of this race. We just allowed Russell to always have a gap to whoever was behind him. So I think that in itself should be credited to him.
