The Austrian Grand Prix is now really close and that can be seen on the circuit itself. For the first time since the beginning of March the teams assemble with the intention of racing. In Melbourne the coronavirus put a stop to that, but thanks to the careful preparations it now seems to happen for real.

The journey to the Red Bull Ring is all slightly different than usual. Even though the teams use a private plane, all team members have mouth caps on. McLaren's team made a group photo in England at one and a half meters.

Once arrived in Austria, a strange atmosphere lingers, according to journalists. The big guesthouses of the teams have stayed home, but the most essential motorhomes are already there. Beyond that, the paddock remains remarkably empty.
