On June 22nd, the Austrian Grand Prix concluded alongside the F3 Championship's Hungary Station.
During this Grand Prix, the two drivers from the Mercedes Team performed poorly in the qualifying stage. Hamilton made a mistake and qualified ninth, while Rosberg failed to outpace the two Williams cars, managing only third place.
However, the long-run pace of the Mercedes-Benz cars was far beyond what any other vehicle could match. Hamilton climbed back to fourth place by the first lap, and by the end of the race, the Mercedes Team once again swept a one-two finish.
At this point, the points gap between the two Mercedes Team drivers had widened to 29 points: Rosberg with 165 points, and Hamilton with 136 points.
It was worth noting that before the Monaco Station, after retiring in the season opener, Hamilton had amassed 100 points through four consecutive victories—surpassing the 97 points Rosberg had accumulated over five completed races.
