Austria Grand Prix: George Russell clinched victory amidst high drama involving a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in the Austria Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring on Sunday.

The collision was triggered when Verstappen, in a bid to maintain his lead, moved over on Norris as the McLaren driver attempted to pass. The impact forced Norris into an early retirement and earned Verstappen a 10-second penalty for causing the collision. This incident was the culmination of a tense multi-lap duel, during which both drivers had aired grievances about the other’s aggressive driving tactics.

Russell’s triumph marked Mercedes' first victory since the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite being under considerable pressure from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri in the final laps, Russell showcased his skill and composure, maintaining his lead to take the checkered flag. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz secured the final podium spot, finishing ahead of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, who overcame a five-second penalty for a pit-entry infringement to finish fourth.
