Ferrari surprisingly strong in Austria 🏁

Strategy in motor racing can be weird. Normally you want to be in front, and you time your pit stops and make your tyre choices to avoid your rival getting ahead. But this weekend in Austria, Ferrari were happy to give Leclerc a strategy that involved passing Verstappen three times. He made the passes, and won the race, despite a throttle pedal that in the last few laps stayed on when he lifted his foot. His team mate Sainz should have been second but his engine blew and his car caught fire. "No! No! No!" he said, understandably.

Lots of drivers got in trouble for track limits. Fair enough. They should stay on the track. Some should watch the previous races here so that they learn that the outside of turn 4 is where you get punted into the gravel, and it's no use to you as the puntee if the punter gets a 5 second penalty.
