-    Race: P18, retirement

• Carlos retired on the 56th lap of the Austrian GP after suffering a technical issue on his Ferrari F1-75, which caught fire without any consequences for the driver.
• At the time of this setback, the Spaniard had served his last pit-stop and was preparing to overtake Max Verstappen to move up to second place and seal a 1-2 finish for Ferrari.
• Carlos played a two-stop strategy and showed he had enough pace to finish in front of the Red Bull, whose tyres were 14 older than his.

QUOTES:
“It’s difficult to find the right words today, as it was clear that a one-two was pretty straightforward. I had strong pace today, specially on the hard tyre. Degradation was very high but we managed it well. On the last stint the car felt really good on track until we obviously had the issue and I had to retire".

“Today’s result is a hard one to take as it cost the team and myself an important amount of points for both championships. On the positive side, I’m feeling better and better in the car, more comfortable every race, and this keeps me motivated. We are fast, and this is what’s matters the most. Congrats to Charles for the win! We’ll keep pushing!".
