The stewards say the fines are "suspended for the remainder of the season pending any further violation of the procedure" and that the "passes of the individuals concerned may be revoked in case of systemic violation". The stewards say the €10,000 fines are "suspended for the remainder of the season pending any further violation of the procedure" The top three from the Austrian GP, Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, have been handed suspended fines for a breach of parc ferme instructions after Sunday's race.

After reliability issues and strategy snafus, the Ferrari driver found his way back to the podium.

"We were looking so good in qualifying and then I crashed the damn thing,” Hamilton said to Sky Sports F1. “Getting your head back around that, knowing the team worked so hard to build a new car for me. ... In the garage in the early evening it looked like somebody dropped a Lego car on the floor. It has been a rough start to the season for Mercedes, who has won the last eight constructor titles, as Hamilton struggled to find a rhythm in this year’s car. I explained to them, if you can come out after the start behind each other, the second one thinks he is faster because you are nine-tenths of a second faster because of the DRS effect. The duo tried to hold off Lewis Hamilton during the Sprint, and Magnussen managed to stay ahead of the Mercedes star. But after the checkered flag, he appeared to encounter an issue of his own as he stopped on the exit of Turn 1. The duo scored a double points finish, and now Alpine and McLaren are tied at 81 points in the constructor standings, trailing Mercedes by a whooping 156 points. “First at pick up and then at the end it would not come back to zero. “I saw in my mirrors that the car was catching [on] fire, but at the same time, I was pressing the brake,” Sainz said in the post-race press conference. The Spaniard started closing in on Verstappen to make a pass on lap 57, smoke emerged from his car. Team boss Mattia Binotto said after the Silverstone race that it was “too close to stop both of them.” Ferrari fans were left bewildered again on Saturday as Sainz and Leclerc went wheel-to-wheel during the sprint race, allowing Verstappen to cruise away with a victory.

Austrian Grand Prix Austrian Grand Prix Austrian Grand Prix

After two months without a podium finish and three months without a win, Charles Leclerc got a much-needed win at the Austrian Grand Prix today.

Verstappen took a commanding lead with six wins in the first nine races. He also offered well-wishes to Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz, who couldn't finish the Austrian GP after getting his first win last week. Let’s keep pushing," Leclerc tweeted.

At the halfway marker of the 2022 Formula 1 season, we've seen the beginnings of a year of runs. First, Charles Leclerc took a dominant Ferrari and a little ...

George Russell, who served a penalty early for causing a lap 1 collision that would eventually take Red Bull's Sergio Perez out of the race, would finish fourth. Lewis Hamilton completed the podium after a dominant showing in the best-of-the-rest race, making the first stop of a two-stop strategy late to get out of traffic and pull away from a particularly competitive mid-pack group. Now, after the second straight week of a Ferrari winning while Red Bull's pace looked particularly mortal, we may be seeing yet another balance of power shift.

Charles Leclerc won the Austrian Grand Prix for Ferrari to cut the title deficit to Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who came in second, to 38 points.

A virtual safety car was deployed when Sainz went off and a tense final 10 laps ensued as Verstappen pushed and Leclerc reported issues with his throttle but he held his nerve to take the flag. He had been soundly beaten in a classic three-act sequence, Verstappen leading from pole only to be caught by Leclerc as they fought a gripping toe-to-toe scrap until the Monégasque struck. With a genuinely competitive car Leclerc was indomitable in Austria, passing Verstappen on the track three times during the race to secure the win. He was forced to remain in the cockpit as the flames licked closer until marshals could place chocks beneath the wheels and allow him to escape unhurt. The championship lead has already yawned between them, with Leclerc’s 46-point lead after Australia turned to a Verstappen advantage of 44 going into this race. Indeed Ferrari could have made it a one-two only for their hopes to be dashed when Leclerc’s teammate Carlos Sainz was forced to retire, his engine in flames near the end.

« Ce type de comportement est inacceptable et ne sera pas toléré. Tous les fans doivent être traités avec respect », a souligné Formula One. Ce n’est pas bien, et ce qui est arrivé n’est pas correct. Verstappen a, lui, souligné après la course que « c’était fantastique d’avoir tout ce soutien aujourd’hui. Mais j’ai entendu des choses choquantes. Il n’avait pas terminé sur le podium lors des cinq Grands Prix précédents et se voyait distancé par Verstappen au championnat à la mi-saison. Le podium est complété par Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) qui enregistre sa troisième 3e place en trois courses. « C’est dommage pour les fans, je n’ai pas pu leur offrir une victoire », a-t-il regretté à l’endroit de la marée de ses supporters et de ceux de Red Bull venus assister à la course sur le circuit autrichien de Spielberg, propriété du géant des sodas Red Bull et de l’écurie du même nom.

Verstappen, de Red Bull, domine toujours le classement des pilotes avec 208 points. Nous devons tenter de comprendre pourquoi nos pneus se dégradaient autant, et je ne suis pas sûr de ce qui est arrivé. Mais même si nous n’avons pas gagné aujourd’hui, nous repartons avec beaucoup de points. Mais j’ai eu des ennuis deux fois sur les cinq dernières courses et aujourd’hui, c’était sur la voiture de Carlos. Nous devons résoudre cela aussi vite que possible. Oui ! »
