Lewis Hamilton comes into the Austrian Grand Prix on the cusp of
equalling an unwanted all-time F1 record. The Ferrari driver has
not stood on a grand prix podium since second place at the Las
Vegas Grand Prix, 12 races ago. It means the Austrian GP will be
Hamilton's 13th race since he stood on a podium - which could equal
the worst run of his entire F1 career. Between the 2023 Sao Paulo
and 2024 Spanish Grands Prix, Hamilton did not stand on a podium,
until taking third in Barcelona. That run eclipsed the 11 races
between the 2008 Brazilian and 2009 Hungarian Grands Prix. Ferrari
is expecting a more competitive weekend in Austria, with boss Fred
Vasseur optimistic of the SF-25 performing well, with Hamilton last
taking a podium at the Red Bull Ring with third in 2022. He won in
2016, won the Styrian GP in 2020, with further podiums in '14, '15,
'20, and '21, but do you think Hamilton will finally scoop a maiden
grand prix podium for the Scuderia? Let us know what you think in
the poll below and in the comments!
