Mick Schumacher has continued his extraordinary form in Formula 3, backing his Saturday win in Austria up with another win on Sunday and a P2-finish to extend his championship lead.

He didn't have that championship lead until last week, as it took the 19-year-old a few races to get going.

But when he did get going, boy was he on fire. He's won seven out of the last nine races, including a streak of five wins in a row until the last race today at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

His main rival, Daniel Ticktum, also retired, which has big implications in the title race, where Schumacher is pulling away now after taking over from Ticktum.

Robert Schvartzman, Schumacher's teammate at Prema Racing, grabbed his first victory of the season.
