The complete classification of the Austrian Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon recovers 5th place while Mick Schumacher puts in a very strong performance with his 6th position. What a weekend for the German.

IT’S MADE FOR LECLERC! IN DIFFICULTY, THE FERRARI DRIVER TRIUMPHS!
This seems to be good for Leclerc! Verstappen is 2 seconds away!
The gears no longer shift on the Ferrari every time the pedal remains depressed. Turn 3 is difficult but he has 2 two laps left.
Leclerc gets angry on the radio and the advice he is given is original: “Take your foot off…”
The end of the race promises to be eventful. Leclerc complains about his accelerator pedal. He is told that his pedal does not return to 0%.
Carlos Sainz is very disappointed, look back in pictures on his retirement.
📻 Sainz: “No, no, no, no…!”

Verstappen comes back very strongly on Leclerc. A new battle seems to be looming for the lead of the race.
What happened with Alonso? The Spaniard is 14th and Alpine must have messed up his strategy.
Sainz stares into space. He had the vacuum when the engine blew. The Ferrari driver emerged from the flames while he was on a slope and unable to stop his car.
Leclerc and Verstappen dive straight into the pits! The Grand Prix is relaunched.
TERRIBLE FOR SAINZ AND FERRARI! There will be no double in Austria. As Sainz was about to overtake Verstappen, the engine caught fire.
Carlos Sainz is coming back very quickly! The Spaniard is 6 tenths behind the Dutchman in the second sector. Ferrari seems to be moving towards a double in Austria, on the grounds of Red Bull.
Russell comes back on Alonso and overtakes the Spaniard. The Briton is 6th.

It’s done for Leclerc! The Ferrari driver takes control of the race! Verstappen complains about Ferrari grip coming out of corners.
Gasly did not take his penalty and could have a new one. Latifi for her part gives up.
There are 20 laps left for Verstappen to succeed in keeping Leclerc behind him. It seems to be complicated for the Red Bull driver. Leclerc is already 1 second away.
