Charles Leclerc beats Max Verstappen at tense Austrian GP Spielberg          [10 July 2022] Charles Leclerc won the Austrian Grand Prix on a day of mixed fortunes for Ferrari as teammate Carlos Sainz retired 14 laps from the end with an engine fire. Leclerc's victory ahead of Max Verstappen at Red Bull's home circuit breathes life back into his title campaign, but the gap between the two drivers still stands at 38 points in Verstappen's favour. Leclerc, who prior to Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix victory had not won a race since April, beat Verstappen in a straight fight, but his lead looked under threat in the final laps as he complained about his throttle sticking open and problems with gearshifts.
