FINAL RESULTS OF THE AUSTRIA RACE

Leclerc won, but a new reliability failure by the Reds took them a double blow to Red Bull’s morale and cut more points from a Max who saved a difficult day in second position against to Hamilton (3rd).

An engine problem removes Sainz from the title

Due to a machine problem with 14 laps to walk Sainz was brutally robbed of more than his deserved second place after completing a great race without mistakes behind his teammate at Monegasque. But most of all, what happened to him took him away world. No wonder Sainz, after the fear that he had to get out of his burning car because it was moving backwards when parked up, sat on the ground with a lost look, desperate, lost, he knew more was lost to him than the second position.

Charles approached Austria after his first win in F1 just 11 points behind Charles and 54 points ahead of Verstappen. In his second spot, he helped Charles subtract more points from Max. And he, too, is becoming more completely on the contrary. But the fire on his machine distanced him by 75 points from Max with 11 races to go and 37 from his partner.

Charles, for his part, remains 38 points behind the lead. Somehow, the issue of reliability put him on a plate. Mattia Binotto the possibility of putting Charles in a priority position before Carlos in the battle for the title, something became complicated afterwards Silverstone and the tension that can be felt between Charles and Carlos. Now, when in doubt, Ferrari will clearly bet on Monegasque and Carlos needs to help.

Last threat for Leclerc

The day could be even more awful for ferrari due to Leclerc’s problems with the accelerator in the final laps. Max smelled blood and gritted his teeth. But Charles he withstood the pressure and won an important win to keep pushing a Verstappen who was able to reduce injury by being second. Monegasque won, even as the ghosts of the last races hovered over him. When Carlos left, Charles noticed something strange about the pedal.

“At the same time and it occurred to me that I could have a problem. But I knew it wasn’t a problem with the engine because the pedal felt weird, because it didn’t return to the zero position”, he pointed out. exit after the race. He turned to see the abyss in front of him but this time, grabbed his car. He thus ended a consecutive 5 races that should have been forgotten due to two mechanical failures or strategic failures. This time, love Charles. But what Ferrari It should be clear that titles are not won by tossing a coin, they should improve the reliability of your car.

Verstappen, complex day

“I need it because the last 5 races have been very difficult for me and for the team. We have to push until the end”, Leclerc pointed out after a race he won thanks to better tire wear. ferrari. Ferrari suffers from circuits that are more demanding for the wheels in front of it. And the red bull ring asking for more from the rear wheels, asking for good traction in its early stages. There, Ferrari easily captured his double.

Verstappen he defended his first spot well in the beginning. But it is bread for today and hunger for tomorrow. His car ate the tires and Charles He could easily catch up with her on lap 12. Max I went into the pits earlier and there started a race and ferrari extended his first stop. That’s the tone of the race.

After Leclerc stopped, Monegasque overtook him again with a new tire and Max, who continued to suffer, made his second stop on lap 37, with half a race left. Leclerc made his second stop after 12 laps, on lap 49, and in just 4 laps he had already passed. Verstappen. Sainz will do the same. I will be second with no complications to chase Leclerc up to 5 seconds. But there came the problem Carlos. A pitcher of cold water.

Hamilton Troubled River Fishing

Lewis Hamiltonwho started on the 8th, signed a good career at his wheel Mercedes and he maximized his chances, taking advantage of the problems of the vehicles in front of him. Russell he kicked Pérez off the track on the first lap and the Mexican had to retire shortly. A george they gave him a 5-second penalty and then came the abandonment sainz. lewis gets the spots, winning matches against Haas to finish third against Russell (4th), Ocon (5th) and Mick Schumacher (6th).

Alonso, 10th and investigated

Fernando Alonso finished 10th, returning 9th position in a race where he showed great speed in his Alpine starting in 19th position after replacing the engine due to his failure on Saturday, which prevented him from starting the sprint race. The driver from Oviedo extended his first stop, managed the tough tire very well and flew over the railroad. Zhou hit him, fighting for seventh place. Make a small train the Chinese with his bad rhythm and make a strong defense against what was his idol as a child. There, Alonso lost several seconds and position, as he landed in 11th place when the Chinese slowed him down in an action in which another 3 cars slipped on turn 3, where 5 single-seater were stuck. on the same brake. Brutal.

Fernando tried to take advantage of the virtual safety vehicle left by Sainz to change tires, but not even with those. The failure of his mechanics to put the wheel on him could ruin his career. He had to stop again on the next turn to fix it. It removed him from the fight for sixth place and miraculously he finished with points, 10th, although investigation is pending due to coming off the track without tightening the tire.

Alonso has a car to be 5th. Even in something else because of the problems of those in front. But the reliability of his Alpine deprived him of that result on Saturday.
