The Mercedes drivers are wearing their special cooling jackets in an outside temperature of 29 degrees+.
The drivers have now reported to the grid. The pit lane has been closed again after a few reconnaissance laps. Verstappen is in his seventh starting place.
Everyone has these tire sets left. We assume a two-stopper with medium-hard-medium. A one-stopper is also possible. Charles Leclerc in particular could do that. That will be Ferrari plan…. A, B, C or D. Or maybe plan E.
We have a definitive starting grid, which is the same as the provisional starting grid. No changes, no starts from the pit lane.
We start with a weather report: It is warm in Austria, the thermometer is already ticking at 29 degrees Celsius. The track temperature has also risen to 46.8 Celsius.
