We leave you all the details provided by the Austrian GP Sprint race.
McLaren did a hara-kiri against Verstappen in the Austrian sprint race
FINAL CLASSIFICATION
Verstappen, hard to handle
The Dutchman is clearly a fish out of water at the Red Bull Ring. He has won every race held since 2021 and McLaren seems to be doing better now. However, when push came to shove, he came out on top.
Solid Carlos, drama for Alonso
Sainz finished the Sprint in fifth position, fending off pressure from Lewis Hamilton. There’s not much more to do with Ferrari.
On the other hand, Fernando Alonso struggled more. The Spaniard had a small excursion after a mistake by Hülkenberg at turn 3 in the final laps and eventually finished 16th. I know I’m going to suffer but Aston Martin has absolutely nothing to do with what it was last year
VERSTAPPEN VICTORY!
The Dutchman has no rival in Austria. The Red Bull driver won the Sprint at the Red Bull Ring by four seconds ahead of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris
This is the battle at the head of lap 5
Hamilton couldn’t beat Sainz
While Russell consolidates his position in fourth position, Carlos is currently holding his own against Lewis Hamilton, who is still seven tenths behind but unable to overtake the Mercedes against the Spanish Ferrari driver .
Norris continues to waste time
Lando is less than a second behind his teammate but has no team orders yet. While at the front Verstappen continued to lead
WHAT WILL MCLAREN DO?
Norris, third, was faster than Piastri. Should McLaren let Lando pass because he’s faster than Verstappen? It should be, but right now it’s not… It’s not clear. The McLarens do the ‘Harakiri’ against Verstappen, who continues to lead without mistakes. For the third GP in a row, he can take another spoils for the mistakes of his opponents and for his perfect execution of things in decisive moments.
ROUND 11 | AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE
Piastri’s Norris, who has more speed, is now within DRS distance. He could try to overtake Piastri after setting the fastest lap. Lando is with everyone. But Piastri is only 2 seconds behind Max and if Norris passes Oscar… he might be too late to follow Max. Or not. We will see…
SAINZ, CLOSE TO RUSSELL AND HAMILTON, BY SAINZ
ATTENTION DRS TRAIN OF RUSSELL, SAINZ, HAMILTON AND LECLERC. Fight for Russell’s fourth position. Sainz is 0″ 8, close, and he can try: but be careful he has Hamilton close, who in turn has Leclerc there. And Pérez is 8th, 2″2 behind Leclerc but in the last lap which made the Czech two tenths ahead of Leclerc.
VERSTAPPEN LEAVES | Round 8
Piastri lost DRS with Verstappen and Max could try to get away now. We’ll see if the McLarens have anything else in store for the end when the tires start to suffer more. Piastri is now 1.5 behind Max and Norris is 1.5 behind Piastri, but Lando seems to have the pace now.
Norris is losing steam
Norris is moving away from Piastri a bit. Either he damaged the tires too much in his battle with Verstappen, or perhaps he was charging his batteries and saving an attack for last.
WE UPDATE THE POSITIONS, ROUND 8:
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE | 7TH CIRCLE
Russell passes Carlos Sainz with DRS. Sainz is now 5th, with Russell 4th and Hamilton in sixth.
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE
Norris went all out, attacked, which is what you should do in a sprint race, and Max’s subsequent attack gave wings to Piastri, who, patient as a lion, took advantage of his moment to place in secondly, that he took out his claws when he had to. .
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE | ROUND 5
Norris dives from home braking to 3rd inside! He was a bit tall… but he kept the first position. And beware that Max is placed in parallel, even though there are DRs for Lando. And when braking the 4 Max pulls to the inside. Norris gets open and Piastri gets past him. McLaren were similar and Lando failed to defend his second place and now Piastri will chase Verstappen from second place. WHAT CRAZY! And Piastri was very close, 0″3 behind Max with DRS.
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE | ROUND 4
Norris tried again on the outside of Turn 4 but Max Verstappen defended well on the inside. Good defense by the current champion. Norris continues at 0.7, with DRS available In the fast zone, Max escapes but the straight ace with DRS Norris comes close again braking the 1 and, more importantly, the 2.
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE | 3RD CIRCLE
Norris tests DRS on Max! Verstappen defended himself. The two McLarens couldn’t make the mistake of fighting because Max would leave if that happened. Norris will try again with DRS on lap 4.
Sainz was 4th and Alonso lost a place
At the start of the sprint race of the 2024 F1 Austrian GP, Carlos Sainz gained ground with Russell with a good overtaking on the outside of turn 4 to place 4th behind Verstappen (1st), Norris (2nd) and Piastri (3rd). And here DRS is important and you can overtake. Note that there are 3 DRS zones. Carlos will go to it. And Alonso was 14th after losing a place to Tsunoda at the start.
ROUND 1 POSITIONS
F1 GP AUSTRIA SPRINT RACE | EXIT
Verstappen came out very well and was defending the position with Norris! And be careful, Piastri starts better than Lando and comes parallel to his teammate in the first corner! OMG PIASTRING TRYING TO PASS NORRIS WHEN THE BRAKING OF 3RD! Lando defends himself. And Carlos Sainz attacked Russell on the outside of turn 4 and went over the limit to take fourth!
