Max Verstappen, by his own admission, is no longer behind the wheel of the fastest car having seen Lando Norris secure pole last time out.

Norris' maiden F1 podium came in Austria, with Lewis Hamilton's third-placed finish last weekend suggesting Mercedes may be in line to return to the fight at the front as well.
