Logan and Alex preview the Austrian GP

We are all set for the third Sprint weekend of the 2024 season as we head to the Styrian hills for the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix.

This 10-turn circuit has the shortest lap time on the calendar, with three DRS zones ensuring plenty of action in both Saturday’s 100km dash and Sunday’s feature length race.

Logan Sargeant is a previous winner at the Red Bull Ring during his Formula 2 campaign, and is excited for the weekend ahead.

“I'm looking forward to heading back to Austria for the second race of the triple header,” Sarge shared.

“It should be a better track for us than Spain, and it's always an exciting track to drive with plenty of quick corners and long straights.

“The Sprint Race will open up some extra opportunities, and it looks like some rain could affect the race on Sunday, so it's all to play for.”

Alex Albon also has one eye on the skies throughout the weekend, and is hoping to take advantage with two opportunities to score this weekend.

“As we leave Barcelona and head to Austria for the second round of the triple header, we are hoping to bounce back after a tough weekend,” Albono commented.

“With Austria being a Sprint weekend, as well as the fact that the weather might be a factor, there will be an opportunity to achieve a good result.

“On paper, this track suits our car more than Barcelona so let’s see what the weekend brings.”

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director at Williams Racing, completed our preview by saying: “After our disappointing result in Barcelona, we are looking to return to our performance from the races before Spain.

“Austria will be a sprint event again, so we won't have much time to get the car in a good window before we start Sprint Qualifying on Friday evening.

“We will be using the softer range of compounds this weekend and both drivers know this circuit very well.

“It’s a track that should suit our car and, with the weather forecast still giving some chances of showers, we should be in a good position to fight for points this weekend.”
