2022 Austrian Grand Prix

[4] Max Verstappen qualified on pole position and retained the first grid spot by winning the sprint race.

Charles Leclerc won the race in spite of late issues with his car, retaking second place in the standings from Sergio Pérez.

Formula 1 teams and drivers have moved to condemn such behaviour with lifetime bans from attending F1 races in the future thought to be a possible punishment for offenders.

[8] The reported harassment received condemnation from many drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstappen.

Hamilton called the abuse "disgusting" while Verstappen stated the harassment was "shocking" and should never happen.

[9] Vettel has called Formula One to ban spectators who harass other fans from attending races for life.

Daniel Ricciardo, Lance Stroll, Zhou Guanyu, Nicholas Latifi and Vettel were eliminated.

Lando Norris ran wide in every attempt and did not set a representative lap time.

[12] Pierre Gasly, Valtteri Bottas, Alexander Albon, Yuki Tsunoda and Norris were eliminated.

Lewis Hamilton spun on a fast lap, bounced across the gravel and hit the barrier.

The red flag was waved and the session timer was paused as Hamilton's car was cleared.

Once the session restarted, the second Mercedes of George Russell spun at turn 10 and hit the barrier, causing another red flag.

He managed to restart his car, completed the second formation lap and was required to start from the pit lane.

Mick Schumacher, Daniel Ricciardo, George Russell, Esteban Ocon, Sergio Pérez, Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel were summoned to the stewards after the sprint after radio messages on the formation lap were alleged to have breach the regulation that "[drivers] must drive the car alone and unaided".

Further back, Lewis Hamilton made contact with Pierre Gasly at turn one, sending the latter into a spin.

A virtual safety car was deployed and both Leclerc and Verstappen pitted for new medium tyres to take them to the end.

[35] Lewis Hamilton was in third and his Mercedes teammate Russell recovered to fourth ahead of Esteban Ocon and Mick Schumacher, the latter having improved his highest Formula One finish.

[37] Throughout the race, Pierre Gasly, Lando Norris and Zhou Guanyu were given five-second time penalties for track limits.
