Update from July 10, 12:44 p.m .:
What happens to Sebastian Vettel?
The ex-F1 world champion is leaving his future open even after a disappointing season so far.
He cannot yet say whether he will be driving for Aston Martin next year, said the now 35-year-old four-time world champion in an interview with
Bild am Sonntag
.
Vettel's contract with the British team ends after this season.
"I haven't thought about it yet.
That will happen in the coming weeks," said Vettel.
The most important requirement is that he has fun.
"I currently have that," claimed Vettel, who is far from the successes of earlier times, especially at Red Bull.
Vettel starts the race from P19 on the A1-Ring in Austria.

First report :
Spielberg – In the last few kilometers, Max Verstappen even had time to take a look at the crowded grandstands.
"There was a lot of orange smoke," said the Formula 1 world champion with a grin, and the fans from the Netherlands had every reason to celebrate.
Formula 1: The Austrian Grand Prix is coming up – can Verstappen win again?
Because Verstappen won the sprint at his Red Bull team's home game.
He will start the Spielberg Grand Prix on Sunday (3 p.m.) from first place.
The Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished second and third within a short distance, but they were engaged in an internal duel and never really threatened Verstappen's victory.

Mick Schumacher also made it back into the top 10. However, there was some trouble about Schumi Junior!
"For me personally there are other things right now," he said
grimly in front of the
Sky microphone on Saturday after the sprint.
Because he had to let Hamilton go in the superior Mercedes - because the team hadn't supported him enough, that's how Schumacher saw it.

The 23-year-old was stuck behind his stable rival Kevin Magnussen for a long time, but the command post didn't wave him past.
"I had the feeling that I was faster," said Schumacher, "I don't know why the team didn't have the feeling.
I think we lost points as a result.”

In fact, Schumacher was always close to Magnussen, despite having to defend against Hamilton at the same time.
Only late did the Dane open up a gap, when Schumacher then lacked the slipstream and Hamilton passed.
He was ninth, only the top eight earn points in the sprint.
So Schumacher started the race in ninth place.
However, team boss Günther Steiner saw the situation differently.
"We kept a close eye on it," he said, "if Mick had been faster, we would have seen it.
We did the right thing.” Schumacher had the speed advantage “only because of the DRS” in Magnussen's slipstream.
Will the races get that wild again?
