Norris holds off Piastri to win Austrian F1 GP after Verstappen crashes out early

Lando Norris won the Austrian Grand Prix after a tightly contested, tense battle with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. The pair delivered an intense fight but the British driver held the upper hand to take the flag. However, Max Verstappen’s title hopes took a huge setback when the world champion was knocked out of the race on the opening lap, having been struck by the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli. Ferrari enjoyed a strong return at the Red Bull Ring, with Charles Leclerc third and Lewis Hamilton in fourth. George Russell was fifth for Mercedes. After Norris and Piastri clashed at the last round in Canada, hearts must have been in mouths at McLaren as their drivers vied to thrilling effect over the opening third of the race, ducking and diving at one another in a bravura display that remained nip and tuck all the way to the flag. #f1 #f1standings #f1results #LandoNorris #f1driverstandings #f1standings2025 #Formula1Standings #Formula1 #f1resultstoday #OscarPiastri #McLaren #AustriaGP #Austria #f1today #f1live #f1points #f1championshipstandings #whereistheaustriangrandprix #AustriaGrandPrix #f1austriangrandprix #rimpactx
