Mercedes was also faster than the pit crew of the team of
Max Verstappen and
Alexander Albon. Places three and four did go to the Austrian race team and that means that they are still ahead of the general classification.
Williams and Mercedes are the two race stables closest, but the big lead has only increased for Red Bull. It is therefore almost impossible to close the gap to the competition.
Red Bull stands at 225 points, while Mercedes is the closest attacker with 131 points. Behind that is
Williams with 118 points. The fourth team is Alfa Romeo with 78 points.
