The real leader of the Red Bull family is Max Verstappen. However, the Dutchman had a disastrous weekend in Austria. Due to a yellow flag during the third part of the qualifying, he was unable to complete his final fast lap. As a result, Verstappen had to start from P7. Then, due to a misjudgment by Andrea Kimi Antonelli he was driven off the track, ending his race prematurely. Verstappen leaves Austria with no points. Both Christian Horner and Helmut Marko have thus lost faith in the world championship title.
