These are Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi, Nicholas Latifi and Nikita Mazepin. Among them are no drivers who finished on the podium in the race won by Max Verstappen. They may still receive penalties, which could change the standings of the match.

Pérez made it a chaotic race at the Red Bull Ring. The 31-year-old Mexican pushed Charles Leclerc off the track twice. For example, the time penalties piled up for Pérez, who twice got 5 seconds on his pants. “Come on, this guy is *bleep*! Get out of the way!” said Leclerc after the second incident with the Mexican. Despite his penalties, the Red Bull driver still managed to finish sixth.

At the start of the race, Pérez himself was pushed off the track by Lando Norris, who is also likely to receive a time penalty. It was a nice fight behind Verstappen, but Pérez had to pay for it. He went into the gravel pit and dropped back to tenth place. “He pushed me off,” said the Mexican. Pérez eventually finished sixth. Verstappen was crowned the winner for the third consecutive time.

Sergio Pérez is third in the World Cup position with 104 points after nine races, with which he only has to tolerate teammate Verstappen (182 points) and Lewis Hamilton (150 points).
