Leclerc won on Verstappen's yard.
The victory in Austria helped Leclerc overtake another Red Bull driver - Sergio Perez - in the second table of his personal, and only 38 points behind the head of Verstappen. Hopefully Ferrari's championship was reborn again when it was overwhelmed at the home field of rival Red Bull. The victory of the Italian racing team would have been more complete if the remaining member Carlos Saimz did not burn the engine at the end of the stage and lost the opportunity to go second.
For the last year, luck was always facing Leclerc, despite the speeding speeds you showed up with the F1-75 Ferrari. Four times in those five races, the Monaco race player loses the chance to win the war in a great way, Leclerc's twice the engine problems, two times the damage from Ferrari's campaign, all arrived while you're at your stage. Leclerc has to leave at the end of the race due to motive.
But yesterday at Red Bull Ring-the home of Red Bull, filled with the orange of Max Verstappen supporters, Leclerc scored his most convincing victory since the start of the season. In the last 10 laps, Leclerc was not discouraged by the accelerator pedal problem of F1-75. Under pressure from Verstappen, he remained at the top of the table, finishing first for the first time since the Australian Grand Prix in April.
On the way to victory, Leclerc surpassed Verstappen three times, when Red Bull racer had to struggle with the overcrowding of the tire and had to switch to backup tactics. The first time of Leclerc to win the first place was a beautiful spleen in Turn 4, round 12 before the helplessness of the Dutch driver. Witnessing the strength of rival Ferrari, Verstappen had to return to the pit early, shortly after only two rounds.
At the time, Red Bull decided to go after 2-pit strategy for Verstappen. Before the race, the experts are determined to scale a pit and 2 pit will be top priority for the Austrian Grand Prix, but the surprisingly skilled Ferrari in Red Bull Ring makes the Austrian and more dazzling team, by the Red Bull's last year has taken over the house.
Speed helps Leclerc easily follow Verstappen from start to header. The distance of less than 1 second keeps Dutch drivers alert at all times. However, Vestapan watched his opponent's attack helplessly and was forced to return to the pit ahead of time, helpless.
Leclerc is still leisurely on the track and only replaces tires in round 27, after the opponent 13 rounds. Ferrari racer returned to the track and behind Verstappen for 6.2 seconds. But then, the distance was quickly narrowed. Just add nine rings, Leclerc easily defeated the opponent to regain the leading position, thanks to the advantage of both tire and power from the Ferrari engine.
Now, the question is whether Ferrari is constant with the 1pit strategy. But after Verstappen's changed the third tyre only three times since he lost his lead position in 36, Leclerc is back to the second time Verstappen Verstap13. And when you get back to the track, Leclerc is slower than the Red Bull 1 racer, four seconds, you need to catch up and then pass Verstappen.
At this point, Vestapan can only watch out for the remaining Ferrari cars of Sainz, who runs in the third place, and approach quickly. However, engine problems caused the Spaniard to give up on lap 57.
Escape from Saint's clinging, Verstappen is more free to narrow the score with Leclerc. The scooter on the racer of the Monaco racer at the end also helps Verstappen, even though he has a bad race.
After the race, although victory, Leclerc admitted to worrying about the trust of the car today, today's result suggests that we have a speed to excel and today's performance is a muster, but I need a stable car.
