Ferrari Driver Charles Leclerc has won the Race of the Austrian Grand Prix!!!

Charles Leclerc claimed his third victory of the 2022 Formula 1 season by winning the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday (10). At Red Bull's home, the Red Bull Ring, Leclerc overcame the favoritism of Max Verstappen to narrow the gap in the drivers' standings.

Ferrari was close to achieving the double with Carlos Sainz in P2, however, in the final stages of the race, the Spaniard abandoned after his engine caught fire.

In the end, Leclerc won the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix. Verstappen and Hamilton completed the podium in 2nd and 3rd position, respectively. Russell was 4th, ahead of Ocon and Schumacher, completing the top 6. Norris, Magnussen, Ricciardo, and Alonso rounded out the scoring zone.

• The track

The fearsome, original Osterreichring was originated in 1969 as a replacement for the Zeltweg airfield circuit. The track known today as the Red Bull Ring was more or less created over the winter of 1995-6, when Hermann Tilke was engaged to turn the Osterreichring into a shorter, more modern race track.
