It's a little over a 60-second mad dash around the 4.318 km Red Bull Ring, but it's anything but a straightforward run in the Styrian valley.
The Austrian Grand Prix circuit is arguably more of a driver's track than a power unit venue, but top speeds are still crucial, as is slow-speed traction, which is why everybody opts for a medium-downforce configuration.
From Sebastian Vettel's 323.2 km/h top speed down to Charles Leclerc's 319.2 km/h, it's an exclusive Ferrari/Mercedes power fest, with Renault and Honda-powered drivers relegated to the second half of the speed trap readings.
For all its aerodynamic efficiency, Red Bull's RB14 is among the laggards in Austria, as is McLaren's MCL33, but that's been the norm this season for the Woking-based outfit.
