On the other side of the garage, Colapinto hailed the “potential” in the A525, despite the difficult weekend in Montreal. The young driver also noted that Red Bull Ring has been kind to him in the past, as he notched a podium in last season’s Formula 2 Feature Race.

The European stretch of the Formula 1 season begins with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring. Oscar Piastri has a 22-point lead in the drivers' championship over McLaren team-mate Lando Norris. Mercedes driver George Russell won last year's race in the Styrian mountains after Max Verstappen and Norris collided while contesting the lead.

Marking round 11 of the 2025 Formula 1 calendar, the race at the Red Bull Ring kicks off a double-header, with the British Grand Prix in Silverstone following closely as the title battle heats up.
