Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc today won the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix in a head-to-head fight with Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who finished second.
Leclerc arrived less than three seconds ahead of his escort, while the podium was completed by the British Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) after the abandonment of the Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), who suffered a shocking accident 14 laps from the end. Sainz had to leave after an engine problem that caused a rapid fire that forced him to get out of his car desperately, in the middle of the flames. It was a very good race. At first, the pace was there, we had some nice fights with Max. In the end, it was a bit difficult with that accelerator pedal, but we were able to fix it and I’m very happy. I definitely needed this victory, because the last ones had been complicated. We have to push to the end,” said the winner. Verstappen: “We had some tyre problems, in any compound. Too much regradation. He didn’t have enough to attack Charles. But a second place is a good position on a difficult day, it’s very nice to see so many fans here in Austria. The battle will be until the end of the season.” I want to thank the men and women of the team who have worked so hard to rebuild the car. I had a new car on Saturday morning, I made a mistake on Friday, something I don’t do often,” said Hamilton, who had suffered a heavy crash in qualifying on Friday. He added: “Amazing the audience. It was a difficult weekend. And for the team to have third and fourth place is important. Now we will work on the car in the weeks we have off. I want to thank the mechanics who recovered the car after Friday’s crash. We’ve improved the performance a bit, we have to keep moving forward.” With this result, Verstappen maintains the top of the championship with 208 points, followed by Leclerc, with 170, and Sergio “Checo” Pérez, with 151, while the next date will be on July 24 with the French Grand Prix.
