Visa Cash App Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson qualified and finished in ninth, similarly Arvid Lindblad started and finished in tenth, delivering another double points finish for the team and completing a clean sweep of all four Red Bull Ford Powertrains entries in the points.

Mark Rushbrook, Global Director, Ford Racing, said: “Austria was an outstanding weekend for the Red Bull Ford Powertrains partnership. To have all four of Red Bull Ford Powertrains-powered cars finish inside the top ten for two consecutive races, is a result that reflects the strength of what we are building together.

Max showed the kind of resilience and class that defines a champion. After a difficult Saturday, to come back and claim second place is a tremendous achievement. Moments like this are the result of the incredible work happening across the entire Red Bull Ford Powertrains programme, and it is incredibly rewarding to see that effort translate into performance at the home of Red Bull.”
