Austrian GP
LIVE from 3pm: Who will win the Austrian GP?
Crazy Formula 1 race in Spielberg! Lando Norris and Max Verstappen shot each other down and gave away the victory. In the end, Mercedes driver George Russell was surprisingly jubilant.
It was the first victory for Mercedes since November 2022. The Briton took the lead at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg in the closing stages after world championship leader Max Verstappen in the Red Bull and McLaren driver Lando Norris damaged their cars in an intense duel. Second place went to Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren and third to Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. Before that, Verstappen had looked like the sure winner for a long time.
Verstappen only finishes fifth
It was Russell's second victory overall, having won in Brazil in November 2022. Nevertheless, Verstappen extended his lead in the championship standings as he finished fifth and his rival Norris retired as the big loser of the race. According to the organizers, around 302,000 fans came to the Aichfeld in Styria at the weekend.
