With his victory in Austria, the Monegasque also entered the top-50 of drivers with the most wins in the history of the world's top auto racing category
With his victory in the Austrian Formula 1 Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc has joined a select list. This is because the Monegasque has become only the seventh driver on the current grid to win at least five victories in the world's top auto racing category.
Lewis Hamilton (103), Sebastian Vettel (53), Fernando Alonso (32), Max Verstappen (26), Valtteri Bottas (10), and Daniel Ricciardo (8) are the other active drivers who have already reached the symbolic milestone.
The victory in Spielberg also gave Leclerc a place in the top-50 of drivers with the most wins in Formula 1. The Monegasque now ranks 49th, alongside Michele Alboreto, John Watson, Clay Regazzoni, and world champions Keke Rosberg and Giuseppe Farina.
Leclerc's other wins have come in Belgium (2019), Monza (2019), Bahrain (2022) and Australia (2022).
The 2022 Formula 1 season continues in two weeks from July 22-24 at Paul Ricard in the French GP.
