In a recent conversation, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner revealed they almost struck a deal with another competitor - Ferrari.
The 2020 Formula 1 season began unusually in Austria after COVID-19 delays, with Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas winning the race.
The Mercedes F1 team will be making updates to the W12, according to soon-to-be Chief Technical Officer James Allison.
With the Styrian GP now in the books, let us look back at the major talking points from the first of two Formula 1 races in Spielberg.
Hamilton had warned that unless his team provided more upgrades to the car, more losses would follow inevitably.
Red Bull Racing chief Christian Horner seems suspicious of Mercedes boss Toto Wolff's claim that they won't upgrade their car anymore.
Lewis Hamilton might have finished second in the Styrian Grand Prix but was a good distance behind race winner Max Verstappen.
In Max Verstappen and Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton has a title challenger who has both the car and the speed to match - and even beat - him.
With the victory, Verstappen extends his lead at the top of the table. Red Bull also sits atop the constructor's championship table.
Hamilton did not have a disappointing race by any stretch as he will be near the top of the grid in the main race.
