A ‘rookie’ command in Austrian humidity

Under the Austrian rain the race began on Sunday. These conditions helped from the first position Hadjar could have gotten his first victory in the long run. Second is the rookie in the World Cup thanks to his perseverance and his two sprint race victories at Sakhir and Silverstone.

The lack of visibility due to water coming from the track was the highlight on a relatively clean launch start. Víctor Martins, the current world leader, is desperately chasing the man on the pole, Hadjar. the pilot of Hitech, who made his pole debut, was able to fight back and make as few mistakes as possible to increase the distance.

As the race leader walks away, they live in the background large encounters between Arthur Leclerc and Bearman and between Jak Crawford and Jonny Edgar. But the most unique of all is the Caio Collet with Maloney parallel on a full lap with nice and clean overtaking.

In all those battles, Pepe Martí, trying to defend himself against Alatalo, touches Zak O’Sullivanleft the car to cross the rails and caused the Spanish to puncture the tire and break David Vidales ’wing.

The track improves as the laps pass, creating a dry road that drivers try to avoid to keep wet tires in the best possible conditions.

With six seconds left between Hadjar and Victor Martins and only 5 laps left, the race’s first and only safety vehicle was deployed. The team riders Held by Charouz, Francisco Pizzi and Zdenek Chovanec, the Portuguese car was left in the gravel.
