This indeed sold out all three-day passes for the Austrian Grand Prix.
After all, there are races to watch every day, although Friday tends to have fewer events in comparison.
Saturday even features a brief Grand Prix.
However, during the main stage of the Grand Prix, drivers generally have little desire to attack.
It resembles more of a long-distance test race with points income.
But this racing format greatly reduces the time drivers have to get familiar with the cars before the main race.
Still, there are benefits, as not only is there little time for personal familiarization with the cars, but drivers from other teams face the same situation.
Additionally, compared to last season, the layout of the Red Bull Ring track hasn't changed much, and the tire hardness provided by Pirelli remains unchanged, though the compound differs from last season.
But overall durability is about the same.
So strictly speaking, the pressure on teams is rather low in this race.
