Lando Norris fought off a race-long challenge from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to win the Austrian Grand Prix.
Norris’ third victory of the year, leading home a McLaren one-two, reduced his deficit in the championship to the Australian to 15 points heading into the British Grand Prix next weekend.
The McLarens utterly dominated the race – Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took the final podium place 17 seconds behind, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton fourth a further nine behind.
Mercedes’ George Russell was fifth, while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was taken out by the other Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli on the first lap and is 61 points off the championship lead.
Italian rookie Antonelli, 18, apologised to Verstappen for the incident and has been given a three-place grid penalty for next weekend’s British Grand Prix for causing a collision.
Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso spent pretty much the entire race nose to tail making a one-stop strategy work to take sixth and seventh places.
Gabriel Bortoleto finished eight to claim his first points of the season while Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg took ninth and Haas driver Esteban Ocon the final point.
