Carlos Sainz, winner in the previous race, had to give up and get out of his Ferrari when it was on fire
Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc took victory this Sunday at the Austrian Grand Prix, held at the Spielberg circuit, after dominating the test ahead of Dutchman Max Verstappen. The World Championship leader, who ran in Red Bull territory, suffered from a certain lack of pace from his single-seater and had to give in to Ferrari.
After abandoning Carlos Sainz due to an engine problem in the final stretch of the race that also forced him to get out of his Ferrari when the vehicle was already on fire, third place at the finish went to Briton Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes ).
There were a few seconds of uncertainty as the man from Madrid was seen in the Ferrari and the car on fire. He managed to get out on his own as track assistants tried to move the vehicle to extinguish the flames with the fire extinguishers.
Asturian Fernando Alonso, who had to start from last place on Saturday due to a breakdown in his Alpine, made a remarkable comeback to finish in tenth place and score a few points for the World Cup.
