Yuki Tsunoda incurred the wrath of Formula 1's wily old fox Fernando Alonso as they battled for a place at the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard was already not in the best of moods after having his weekend ruined by an issue ahead of Saturday's Sprint. His Alpine suffered power loss while on the grid and did not even start the short-form race.
It meant he had to start the Grand Prix from the very back of the pack, making it much more difficult to score points in a car that certainly looked capable of it this weekend. Still, he gave it his best and tried to push as much as he could in the early stages.
And during a battle with Tsunoda, he gave his much younger rival a telling-off as he zoomed past for his conduct while they were racing. The Spaniard looked to move past on the inside, but the AlphaTauri racer defended a little too enthusiastically and left too little room on the track.
Alonso was squeezed slightly onto the grass, before Tsunoda eventually left a little more room. And he was quick to make his point as her overtook the Japanese, wagging his index finger disapprovingly.
Alpine will have been delighted with the veteran's performance, as he managed to sneak into the top 10 to at least secure a single point for his weekend's work. He might have even been sixth had he not had to pit an extra time after feeling vibrations after a tyre change. Things were even better for team-mate Esteban Ocon, who stayed out of trouble and finished fifth.
At the front, Charles Leclerc proved he had the faster car on the day as he overtook Max Verstappen several times between pit stops. But he was made to sweat in the final few laps as he suffered from a gearbox issue, but eventually got his car over the line to win the race.
It might have been a one-two with Carlos Sainz showing the pace he needed to reel in the Red Bull himself. But his race was thwarted by an engine failure, and the Spaniard had to scramble out of his car quickly as it became engulfed in flames.
With Sergio Perez also out of the race after a collision with George Russell, Lewis Hamilton finished on the bottom step of the podium for the third consecutive race. Driver of the day was Mick Schumacher, who produced a very mature drive to finish sixth and score points in back-to-back races.
