The
Red Bull Ring is a circuit that suits
Max Verstappen well. This was made clear in the sprint race for the
Austrian Grand Prix when he took victory in an impressive fashion.
Dominant Verstappen at the Red Bull Ring
Verstappen got away well at the start and managed to keep both
Ferrari's behind him. It was all to the Dutchman's advantage as
Charles Leclerc and
Carlos Sainz battled for position.
George Russell, meanwhile, had a quiet race, with an empty patch of tarmac in front and behind him on his way to P4.
The one who also managed to impress today was
Sergio Perez, who worked his way up from P13 to P5. The final points of the sprint race went to
Esteban Ocon,
Kevin Magnussen and
Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion had some trouble getting past Mick Schumacher.
