BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your questions after the Austrian Grand Prix.
George Russell won the Austrian Grand Prix after Max Verstappen and Lando Norris collided in a fight for the lead.
After the race, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella drew a direct line between this incident and the controversial battles between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in 2021, when many of the other drivers thought Verstappen had, at times, broken the rules. Until he starts getting consistently punished for the way he races, Verstappen won’t change - and perhaps not even then. And why should he, one could argue?F1 stewards like to keep penalties for racing incidents relevant to the race in which they were earned if they can. And as there was a possibility to punish Verstappen for his transgression in this case, they chose it.
Now that McLaren and Mercedes have improved a lot, are Ferrari's title hopes fading already? Are they now the fourth-best team in the field? – Liam At the same time, a number of countries are interested in hosting races - Thailand and South Korea among them - and F1 is keen to have a race in Africa. Sainz has every reason to feel a little hard done by - he’s been driving for Ferrari for the past four years and has been a tough team-mate for Charles Leclerc, even if Leclerc is on balance slightly faster. And now, following Ferrari’s decision to sign Lewis Hamilton for 2025, he is faced with a drop to the second half of the grid because Red Bull and Mercedes did not want him, for their own reasons.
