More excitement in Formula 1 again! Charles Leclerc’s victory promises more tension in the title fight for the British media, while the Spanish press primarily pities Carlos Sainz. The press comments on the Formula 1 GP in Spielberg.
Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari won the Austrian Grand Prix ahead of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes. International media write about the race:
“The Guardian”: “Charles Leclerc celebrated victory in the Austrian Grand Prix with equal parts relief and joy after a race that was captivating to the end.”
“Daily Mail”: “It was not the result those who lit orange Bengalos came for, but one that the World Championship needed – a victory for Charles Leclerc in a dramatic, fire-lit Austrian Grand Prix. “
The Sun: “Charles Leclerc’s victory promises to reignite the race for the F1 title – while it was his teammate Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari that caught fire.”
“Marca”: “There is a championship for the Monegasque (Charles Leclerc), but not for Carlos Sainz, who retired due to engine failure on lap 56 – 15 laps before the end. He was clearly on his way to finishing second or better.”
“Mundo Deportivo”: “The best way to stop the noise, the disputes and the criticism would have been a one-two. Ferrari wanted to do that at the Austrian Grand Prix F1 2022.”
“Kurier”: “For the ninth year in a row, Formula 1 has been a guest at the Red Bull Ring, never before have there been so many spectators. Most of them peaceful and happy, but some caused discord. Apart from that, it was a Race weekend with many plus points and few points of criticism.”
“Blick”: “Leclerc silences 60,000 Verstappen fans. That’s a rarity. Leclerc overtakes Verstappen three times on the Red Bull Ring. The Monegasse wins in Spielberg while his Ferrari teammate Sainz experiences a fire drama.”
“Tages-Anzeiger”: “Max Verstappen sees red. First in the rear-view mirror, later also in a figurative sense – and several times this Sunday in Styria.”
Well before the start of Wimbledon, the All England Tennis Club withdrew all players from Russia and Belarus from the right to play. A native of Russia has now won the women’s singles competition of this year’s Wimbledon tournament – that triggers clear reactions.
