Austrian GP: race preview
After a week off, we're heading into the second F1 Sprint weekend of the season at Austria's Red Bull Ring. Home circuit of quite possibly the most dominant team F1 has ever seen, we may well find yet again that the fight for third is where the action is. However, this is still F1, and absolutely anything can happen.
Last year's Austrian Grand Prix saw Charles Leclerc's third and final win of the season, and he hasn't topped the podium since. Although matching Max Verstappen is unlikely, Ferrari will have a ton of data to optimise their race, and will certainly be gunning for the bronze position at least.
However, with podiums in the last two races, Mercedes have proven that their most recent upgrades have had a genuinely positive effect. Leclerc will have to put in some serious graft to get past both Hamilton and Russell, as well as veteran Alonso.
F1 Sprint also has the potential to put a spanner in the works. The 100km race on Saturday sees the drivers run at full chat for around half an hour without pit stops. With a potential return of 8 points, it's well worth every team giving it their all
Off the track, Alpine have made the news by securing a huge $700m investment, including some capital from Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny. The Hollywood stars appear to be focusing a lot of investment in sports, and this cash injection may well prove to be pivotal for the French team in future seasons.

How to watch the Austrian Grand Prix live stream from outside your country
If you're abroad for this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, you'll likely find you're unable to access your usual Formula 1 coverage like you would at home. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.
Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred F1 live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
