The AustrianGP produced plenty of wheel-to-wheel action on track, but a lot of the focus was, quite literally, off it. Here's 10 things we learned from the weekend.
, who had already been lumbered with penalties throughout the race, was hit heaviest. The FIA found another 10 instances of track limits abuses in his name and sucker-punched him with 30 seconds added to his race time. He'd finished outside of the points anyway, but it nonetheless capped off a miserable afternoon and ended his four-race points-scoring streak. So it goes.
On a day when tyre degradation was greater than expected, Ferrari seemed to have a handle on it. Although it's some way off Red Bull, ironing out the vast creases in race performance at least means the Scuderia can beat Mercedes and Aston Martin on a more regular basis.
While a dash of anti-stall bogged Norris down in the sprint, there were fewer issues in the full-fat 71-lap race. Sure, he lost a position to Hamilton at the start, but he caught and passed the Mercedes driver to reclaim lost ground and later had enough performance to give former team-mate Sainz a run for his money. The attack fizzled out whendisrupted their battle, but fifth on the road showed that McLaren seemed to be on the right path.
"I definitely didn't expect to be as bad as we were today," he said."I don't really have an answer for it. It's definitely surprising but the feeling of the car was very much the same as the feeling I've had all last year, so in that respect, it's not the biggest surprise. "Perhaps where we need to pay urgent attention before it's too late, is to look at the ratio between combustion power and electrical power to ensure that we're not creating a technical Frankenstein which will require the chassis to compensate to such a degree with movable aero and to reduce the drag to such a level that the racing will be affected," Christian Horner reckoned.
