He has reasons to, Verstappen looks to have the edge which means next week will be the same. I
That gap could grow by 16 more points before he gets to another track to see how they compare there.

I get that, but even when he's been challenged in the past or during difficult periods I've felt he's an aura of calmness and maturity. This seems different.

To me, he was a wreck at times in 2016. He seemed lost then.
Lol.....he has been out at Mercedes for the entire season. I honestly think he DGAF at the moment.
Toto goes out of his way to blame him for everything that goes wrong....... I know a bunch of you think Bottas is a waste of space, but I think he is still a superb driver who has had the unfortunate job of being number 2 to possibly the greatest driver in the sport.

Excited for today. When you have max and Lewis next to each other your going to get some good racing.

I think Verstappen has been the best driver for a few years now, but has never had the machinery to prove it.
If Mercedes can have good race pace, it should hopefully be an interesting showdown; still, I can't see past Max if he maintains the lead after the first corner.

Mixed weather would be great fun.
There's varying reports, but we're looking between a 40% chance of rain to it almost being a certainty. Like yourself, I always enjoy the weather mixing it up.
Lewis is renowned for his abilities in the rain and it will hopefully counter the fastest cars, making it more down to pure ability.
Technical Draft: The Formula 1 Wet Weather Set Up
The weather forecast for the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring includes a high chance of a dry qualifying followed by a wet race.

There both so good, all it takes is one mistake for the other to take over or get right on the back of the other. Weather changes are always good fun but even without it, these two can make it a good watch.

Mercedes don’t have an answer to Red Bull’s qualifying pace at the moment. Really. Puts them at a disadvantage in the race even if they sometimes have the fastest car on Sunday. Hamilton has driven superbly to only be a few points adrift at this stage, but I feel that Red Bull will ultimately triumph quite easily if the current pattern continues.
Red Bull's reliability in the latter stages of the season will be an interesting watch as we all know they can face difficulties or even peter out at stages.

Yep, reliability could be a huge factor. However a couple of points on this
- it's not a strategy that Mercedes should be relying on
- it's likely that the chasing team is the one that has to turn up stuff to the limit in order to breach the performance gap, thereby creating their own reliability issues

In a way he's been unlocked now, I think he has been this good since 2019 but limited by the car in qualifying, hence why he has less poles than he should have.
