The combination of circuit layout, track temperatures and wind conditions have presented us with a Grand Prix that is anyone\u2019s for the taking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"typography-module_body-s-regular__ul7F5 typography-module_md_body-m-regular__d9VRg typography-module_lg_body-l-regular__dPa5z\">The circuit suits <a class=\"text-brand-hot-red underline decoration-1 hover:decoration-[3px]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.formula1.com\/en\/teams\/red-bull-racing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull<\/a>, and <a class=\"text-brand-hot-red underline decoration-1 hover:decoration-[3px]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.formula1.com\/en\/drivers\/max-verstappen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Verstappen<\/a> has pole, while the <a class=\"text-brand-hot-red underline decoration-1 hover:decoration-[3px]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.formula1.com\/en\/teams\/ferrari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ferrari<\/a> upgrade that looked good in Austria also looks great here.
