Two great rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen put on a great show in the opening stages of the Austrian GP. The two great rivals found themselves fighting for second place, defended by Hamilton, at the end of the battle from Turn 3 to Turn 9. Max Verstappen attacked from the inside at Turn 3 to give the battery sufficient depth, while Hamilton responded at Turn 4 and both stopped. After crossing the roads, Verstappen tried on the outside in the left-hand corners, unable to find the space needed to tackle the Ferrari driver. Verstappen also requested a penalty for Hamilton, but the Stewards returned the Red Bull wall request to sender. Below are the data of the duel and Federico Albano’s notes. Verstappen-Hamilton telemetry “The data from the Verstappen-Hamilton battle is all incredible; Verstappen going up to 339km/h while braking in 3rd, Hamilton reacting by taking advantage of the lack of energy on the descent into 4th and then taking the corner with 6km/h more minimum speed, Max going up to 7-8th when he had to accelerate from 181km/h to 161km/h and again. “Verstappen used all the power. The energy increased to 9 again, but Hamilton was superb again in the last two corners, going 10-11 km/h faster than his Dutch rival.”
