silicone dissolves
It was not a piece of debris, but it seems as if the silicone joint after the notch came loose after the cars drove over. Marshals pick up the pieces and actually pull away the remaining silicone.

Charles Leclerc is third with 138 points ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz (127 points), who celebrated his first career win in Great Britain.
13:13
First points for Schumacher
Mick Schumacher should breathe a sigh of relief after Silverstone. The German driver finally managed to bag his first World Championship points in Formula 1. This should also reduce the pressure on the Haas pilot’s shoulders. It will certainly not be any easier in the next races, because there are no more updates at Haas. An update will only come in Hungary.
13:04
Zhou and Albon at the start
After their serious crashes at Silverstone last weekend, Guanyu Zhou and Alexander Albon are already back in Spielberg. Both pilots were involved in serious accidents on the first lap of the race in Great Britain.

Fortunately, no serious injuries were found there and he can already get involved again.
12:58 p.m
Second sprint of the season
After the race in Emilia-Romagna, a sprint weekend awaits the teams and drivers in Spielberg for the second time this season. That means a stressful Friday awaits. After just one practice session, qualifying takes place in the evening. It is all the more important to get going straight away and to find the right setup quickly.
Warm welcome!
After the weekend in Silverstone, Formula 1 will go to Spielberg. A sprint weekend is coming up at the Red Bull Ring. The first practice session begins at 1:30 p.m., before qualifying follows in the evening.
