Episode notes
This week on Reading the Grid, Erin and Inna are looking ahead to the Austrian Grand Prix at the iconic Red Bull Ring—a deceptively simple circuit with high-speed straights, tricky elevation changes, and relentless track limits. We break down what makes this fan-favorite layout so exciting, share our pole picks and podium predictions, and ask: can Ferrari’s perfect lap record actually count for anything? Plus, in our “Spill the Grid” segment, we dive into the latest paddock rumors—Bottas teasing a Cadillac seat, Russell’s looming contract news, Red Bull’s second-seat drama, and Franco Colapinto’s final chance to impress. Tune in for bold takes, off-track intrigue, and plenty of F1 fun from the Styrian hills!
