Charles Leclerc will be eager to reclaim the second spot in the World Drivers' Championship standings by winning the Austrian Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver was not at his best at the Spanish Grand Prix on 23 June which was the latest race in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
Leclerc started on the fifth grid and he maintained his position until the end of the season - finishing fifth which saw him collect eight points.
Formula One title ambitions
The Monte Carlo-born racing driver is now placed third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 148 points.
Leclerc is 71 points behind leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and two points behind second-placed Lando Norris of McLaren.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix
The 26-year-old has failed to secure a podium spot in the last two races and this will make him even more determined to win the Austrian Grand Prix for the second time.
Having won the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix, Leclerc knows exactly what it takes to win the race at the Red Bull Ring.
What did he say?
"It was tight today and we were just a lap short of fighting for P4, but our competitors were still ahead in terms of pace," Leclerc said after the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix.
"Regarding our strategy, I think we did well to offset ourselves from the cars around us. We maybe lost some time between our two cars at the beginning of the race,
"But going forward we will focus on our race pace extracting the maximum from our package at the next race."
