- Race: P3, 71 laps
- Carlos Sainz managed to finish on the podium of the Austrian GP in a race where the two cars that fought for the win crashed out in the last laps.
- Fourth on the Starting Grid, the Ferrari race driver did a great defensive move in the opening stint as he defended his position from the attacks of Lewis Hamilton.
- After switching to Hard tyres for the second stint and to Mediums for the final one, Carlos was overtaken by McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who was on a different strategy.
- Seven laps before the end, nevertheless, the crash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris enabled Carlos to move up two places and score the fifth podium of the season.
QUOTES:
“This P3 is a positive result and it's a good reward for us after what was a difficult start of the weekend. Yesterday we worked hard to try to improve the car after the Sprint and we had a better Qualifying. Today it was an eventful race and our pace wasn't bad, fighting with the Mercedes for a place on the podium. Unfortunately after the crash at the front I couldn’t do much to keep the other McLaren behind as they’ve been very fast here in Austria. All in all, a podium is a good result and now we need to focus on ourselves to be able to fight at the front, which is where we want to be. All eyes on Silverstone".
