Carlos Sainz Jr will be hoping to record his second victory of the season by clinching the Austrian Grand Prix title.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver was unable to secure a podium spot at the most recent event on the 2024 Formula One schedule which was the Spanish Grand Prix on 23 June.
Sainz Jr started on the sixth grid and he went on to finish sixth which saw him accumulate eight points from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya event.
Formula One title ambitions
The 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 Series champion is placed fourth on the 2024 World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 116 points.
Sainz Jr is 103 points behind leader Max Verstappen as racing drivers battle to catch the Red Bull Racing driver.
Why Sainz Jr could win the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix
The Madrid-born racing star has secured a podium spot four times in the current season including winning the 2024 Australian Grand Prix.
Sainz Jr will be eager to display the form that saw him win the Australian Grand Prix when he competes at the Red Bull Ring.
What did he say?
"It was a difficult race but we gave it our best. Stopping early and finishing the race on the hard tyre didn’t turn out to be the optimal strategy today," Sainz Jr said after the Spanish Grand Prix.
"But we only know this with hindsight after the chequered flag. In any case, we were lacking a bit of pace this weekend in general and we need to work to improve for next weekend in Austria.
"A massive thank you goes to every single fan that came to the track today and also to those who followed and supported us from home. A home race for a driver is always special and Barcelona is no exception for me."
