It seemed inevitable, the Max Verstappen v Lando Norris crash, not George Russell's victory...
George Russell secured an unexpected victory for Mercedes at the Austrian Grand Prix , the Briton benefitting from the inevitable crash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
Sainz made his way by Hamilton after the Briton’s race engineer Pete Bonnington told his driver: “Lewis we are under investigation for Turn 1, so we need to let Sainz past.” Piastri muscled through on Perez at Turn 6 for sixth place. Hamilton was the first of the top eight to blink but was given a five-second penalty for crossing the white line. That sparked a run of pit stops from the frontrunners which played out with Verstappen in the lead by seven seconds ahead of Norris with Russell a further two off the pace.
“He’s gotta pass Fernando,” was Gasly’s message to Alpine as he wanted a free pass. Ocon promptly overtook the Aston Martin with Gasly also through and then briefly off the track as he tried to also pass his team-mate. Neither team-mate was happy with the other. Russell was the first of the top eight to pit, the second round of stops again playing out with Verstappen still up in P1 but his advantage reduced to three seconds after a slow pit stop – left rear tyre. Russell was third.
