Max Verstappen equaled Ayrton Senna’s win record at the Canadian GP and went beyond it after winning the Austrian GP. However, that wasn’t the only record broken at the Austrian GP. An F1 Veteran’s record was broken by Esteban Ocon after the race ended as fans took to Social Media with their sarcastic comments. What was this record and who is this F1 Veteran?

Regardless, Ocon ended a lap down on Max Verstappen. The highlight of the Frenchman’s race was probably the penalty that he drew for an unsafe release.

Esteban Ocon was among one of these drivers. The Frenchman was handed a total of 4 driving penalties (Two 5-Sec penalties and Two 10-Sec penalties), demoting him to P14.
