F1: Sainz Gets Maiden Win As Ferrari Catches Up On Red Bull

Carlos Sainz Jr won his first F1 race as Ferrari closed the gap on Red Bull in the 2022 F1 Constructor's championship. Sainz won the race after a late safety car triggered by the retirement of Ocon who landed up on soft tyres that Leclerc had. Leclerc managed P4 after being P3 for the large part of the race. Verstappen who started in P2 ran into technical issues with a damaged floor which resulted in an additional pitstop and generally reduced performance. He ended up P7 just ahead of Schumacher in the Haas.
