Formula 1 | Alpine, the story of the race in Austria

Alpine maintains fifth position in the Constructors' Championship with 81 points, the same as McLaren. Esteban Ocon took fifth place comfortably, having perfectly implemented a two-stop strategy. It is his best result of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season, after starting in sixth position. After replacing a number of components of his car following the problem that occurred on the grid on Saturday, Fernando Alonso crossed the finish line in tenth place. It is the second time this season – after Spain – that he has managed to score points after starting from the last row.

Esteban's race went off without a hitch and the driver took advantage of the retirements of Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz to move from sixth to fifth position. The Frenchman started on the medium tyres, then stopped on the 16th and 44th laps to switch to the hard tyres, with which he reached the finish line.

After starting on hard tyres, Fernando stopped on lap 27 to change them to hard tyres, then on lap 57 to switch to medium tires under the virtual safety car regime, before returning to the pits one lap later. as a precaution for having felt vibrations. The team will compete at home in the next race, which will take place in two weeks: the French Grand Prix on the Circuit Paul-Ricard.
