Formula One Champions Max Verstappen gave another enthralling performance with his Red Bull to emerge victoriously at the Austrian Grand Prix. The double world champion was made to work for his seventh victory from nine rounds so far after he passed Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz on track.
But after maneuvering himself ahead of both Ferrari drivers, Max Verstappen raced off into the distance to the delight of his 70,000-strong traveling army from the Netherlands. Leclerc crossed the line five seconds behind Verstappen in Spielberg, with Sergio Perez recovering from his lowly grid slot of 15th to finish third.
Charles Lecrec, who came to the next position, indeed gave a brilliant fight, and he fought his way past Sainz with 10 laps remaining following a nip-and-tuck duel. Sainz took fourth after he served a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits. The Spaniard was among six of the 20-strong field to be sanctioned by race director Niels Wittich, with Lewis Hamilton also punished.
Max Verstappen dominating again
Once again, it is the young Max Verstappen who sealed the victory to his name in the race. It seemed like another Grand Prix and another win for the Dutch cum Belgian driver, and it seems like there was no stopping him. In every grand prix, Verstappen experiences some tough competitions, which in this race, he got in the likes of Charles Lecrec, Sergio Perez, and Carlos Sainz; however, ultimately, he managed to win.
