Antonelli vs Hamilton: F1’s generational duel set to explode in Spielberg
Kimi Antonelli leads the title chase; Lewis Hamilton chases second straight win in Austria as Mercedes and Ferrari bring upgrades to a track built for chaos.
Lewis Hamilton will try to end an 18-month winless streak when he faces Kimi Antonelli in a straight‑up fight for supremacy at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton arrives at the Red Bull Ring with fresh momentum, having taken pole position in both practice sessions and secured a second‑place finish in qualifying behind Antonelli. His last victory came at the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix—686 days ago—making this race a chance to silence critics and prove Ferrari’s 2026 car is more than a flash in the pan.
