The best tweets from the Austrian Grand Prix
The return of Charles Leclerc, the orange wave, Kevin Magnussen's favorite food, Carlos Sainz at Red Bull and Max Verstappen at Mercedes... Here are the best tweets of the Austrian Grand Prix weekend.

The Austrian Grand Prix ended with Charles Leclerc’s victory. After five races, the Monegasque driver finally returned to the podium. A victory in front of the sea of orange fans who came in large numbers to support Max Verstappen on the Red Bull track. But between the free practices, the sprint race, and the Grand Prix, Formula 1 fans were not bored.
Who has never wondered about pilots’ favorite food? No one, right? With Kevin Magnussen’s profile, we now know that he loves Indian food.

Who says new weekend, says new style for Lewis Hamilton. An outfit approved by Cristina Cordula?

None of these five single-seaters touched each other during turn 3. Magnificent, isn’t it?

If the public wasn’t perfect, the orange tide was present! This is evidenced by satellite images during the race’s start. Yes, we know the image is fake, but the flares were certainly there!

The victory of Charles Lecl… Sergio Perez? Carlos Sainz at Red Bull and Max Verstappen at Mercedes! Who would have believed it? The realization is a bit tired after this busy weekend…

The tifosi trembled after Carlos Sainz’s retirement due to an engine problem. The fault was a temperamental accelerator pedal for Charles Leclerc. The last laps were very long for Ferrari fans.
