Austria and Silverstone could be described as that point in history when the new guard finally took over from the old guard. The race involved another dual between Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen as the two fought tooth and nail while Max tried to make the move on Charles.

In the midfield, we had Lando Norris keeping someone as experienced and as good as Daniel Ricciardo at bay throughout the race after pulling off a stunning move on him on the first lap.

To add to it, you have George Russell thrashing Robert Kubica in every race and a certain Esteban Ocon looking for a seat. Amidst the talks of pay drivers that have plagued F1 for too long, it's refreshing to see such a rich crop of drivers making a mark on F1.

With Max and Charles already in top teams and the others climbing up the ladder quickly, it's only good news for F1 as the future seems to be in very safe hands for now.
