It's race week, Vankahs! We're previewing the Austrian Grand Prix and Gunther takes us all the way back to his first Grand Prix (while technically AWOL from the Italian army). Then we get into the real drama: Ferrari has come out strong and the development war with Mercedes is officially on.

We cover: - The Ferrari vs. Mercedes development war and who's really got the edge - Fred Vasseur's impossible choice: chase Lewis's eighth or protect Leclerc's future - Why Mercedes is still the title favorite (but only just) - Mercedes' reliability, thin air, cooling, and downforce trade-offs explained - McLaren falling back and Lando Norris' Ferrari quote - Silly season: Carlos Sainz, Alonso-to-Alpine rumors, Colapinto, and Gasly - Fan questions + Gas or Brake + our Austria…
