Charles Leclerc: Podium in Austria
Leclerc finished third in the Austrian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Red Bull Ring on Sunday afternoon.
Analysis:
Leclerc would lose P2 on the opening lap to Oscar Piastri and he would then settle in and anchor down third-place from that point on. A long opening stint would see the Ferrari star pit on lap 25 and that would help him to secure P2 going forward. Leclerc was able to manage a good gap back to teammate, Lewis Hamilton, and would really never fall any serious threat for third-place. He would cross the finish line almost 10-seconds ahead of Hamilton to secure the final spot on the podium in Spielberg.
