Max Verstappen claimed victory in the sprint race ahead of Formula 1's 2022 Austrian Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc eventually prevailed in a Ferrari ...

Verstappen was able to stretch the legs of his Red Bull to take the gap up towards three seconds, but in the final few laps, Leclerc could lap a tenth or two faster to gradually chip away at the margin. The Ferraris continued to dice, with Sainz seemingly carrying an early pace advantage to try and leapfrog Leclerc on the outside of Turn 3 into 4, with the red car appears to rub. He put his nose in front of Verstappen in the braking zone of Turn 3 but on the outside and off the racing line, he ran wide and then the subsequent oversteer on the less grippy asphalt allowed Leclerc to accelerate away faster and reclaim second place with a run into Turn 4. With Leclerc battling Verstappen, Sainz was given room to dive ahead into the first corner and a strong exit enabled the Spaniard to move his Ferrari to the outside and attempt a pass. After the disruption, it was Leclerc who enjoyed the marginally better launch to force Verstappen to pull to the inside line and squeeze the Ferrari closer to the pit wall. The Red Bull driver needed to defend into Turn 1 and 3 against an initially strong Ferrari threat, but as Leclerc and Carlos Sainz went wheel-to-wheel, the defending champion was able to march away to a relatively smooth triumph.

This weekend's Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austria brings to us the second Sprint Race of the season, with Max Verstappen at Pole position.

This year Sprint Races have improved last year’s format, deciding to award points to the top eight finishers, instead of just the podium finishers like last season. Saturday: the Sprint Race day begins with another one-hour Free Practice in the morning, before heading into the new event. Given the changes the format has undergone since the first of these events was held in Silverstone during the 2021 season, this year’s Sprint Races are going to be even more decisive by awarding more points to the top finishers.

Fernando Alonso's inability to even start was just one case of fortune defining the outcome of a driver's sprint at the Austrian GP.

He admitted afterwards he only “just” made the finish. But he was at least lucky to continue. “Clearly the sprint races are not playing in our favour,” he bemoaned. Instructed to get back to the pits he said “I’m not sure I’ll be able to” and the response was: “Err, yes, we think you might struggle there. The bad news was he would need to take the second attempt at the start from the pitlane.
