A Spielberg Saga
Manage episode 334536425 series 3292811
This week, the F1 circus reached Spielberg for the Austrian GP at the Red Bull Ring. The high speed circuit, the second shortest on the calendar, with this seasons second Sprint was an absolute belter!
We saw both Ferraris duke it out in the sprint, with Max running away with the most points in P1. However come the race, Charles kept him honest by overtaking him three times with ease due to high tyre degradation on the Red Bull. Ferrari almost made it a 1-2, however rotten luck caused an engine failure and a DNF for Sainz just as he was about to make his move on Max for P2. Perez tangled with George on lap 1 around the infamous turn 4 and came away with enough damage to retire from the race.
Behind this drama, Mercedes made the most of the situation with Hamilton and Russel P3 and P4, and Haas had another excellent double points finish. Ocon and Alonso had another strong showing for Alpine while Daniel Ricciardo struggled a little bit for Mclaren. Listen to us talk about all of this and so much more on this latest episode of Five Lights!
