The first session of the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix is in the books with George Russell topping the times in Spielberg. Formula 1 has reached the 11th race of the 2025 season with Red Bull hoping for a good result at their home grand prix. With a new race engineer in his ears, Max Verstappen went second fastest with Oscar Piastri in third.

Happy Austrian Grand Prix, RotoBallers! The hills are alive with the sound of cars going vroom. It's the fourth shortest track on the calendar with the fewest turns (10), but usually provides some spectacular racing and wheel-to-wheel action.
