Austrian Grand Prix tips: Lando Norris to get some points and Charles Leclerc on the podium
Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris
A Red Bull one-two is the most likely outcome on their home track at the Austrian Grand Prix but there is space on the podium for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
While there has been plenty of talk of upgrades from the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari, and to be fair some performance gains have been seen, Red Bull still have the quickest car by far.
They are going to be going all out to get another win in Austria and there isn't much any of the other teams can do to stop them, it's just a matter of whether it will be Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez.
PlanetF1 editor Mark Scott thinks Ferrari and Charles Leclerc will be quicker than Mercedes at the Red Bull Ring Grand Prix Circuit in Spielberg and claim the best-of-the-rest prize on the podium.
Charles Leclerc podium finish
With nobody looking capable (yet) of ending Red Bull's winning streak unless a freak incident occurs involving both of their cars, the most intriguing part of the F1 puzzle is trying to work out who joins them on the podium.
Mercedes and Aston Martin have both made it onto the steps this season, but we're still waiting for Ferrari to do the same on a consistent basis.
However, whilst it is usually very easy to discount Ferrari, when Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso all identify them as a threat in Austria this weekend then it's very difficult to ignore.
Preference is for Charles Leclerc over Carlos Sainz. He won this race last year and, even though Ferrari will never admit it, he is their number one driver.
Yuki Tsunoda points finish
Tsunoda has finished outside of the points in the last four races, but that shouldn't put you off siding with him at the Red Bull Ring this weekend.
He is a vastly improved driver compared to his first and second seasons in F1 and has had his fair share of bad luck so far this campaign with reliability woes plaguing him.
If the gremlins can stay away then Tsunoda will represent good value to pick up a point or two come Sunday.
Lando Norris points finish
Lando Norris is also worth adding to the shortlist for a points finish even though this season is already turning into one for the McLaren team to forget.
The hype of yesteryear has well and truly died away, but Norris has a significantly upgraded MCL60 at his disposal this weekend and it may just catch a few of their midfield rivals by surprise.
