NORRIS LEADS McLAREN 1–2 IN THRILLING AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX

The 2025 Formula 1® Austrian Grand Prix took place at the Red Bull Ring from June 27–29, delivering high-stakes action and a dramatic shake-up in the title race.

McLaren emerged dominant on Sunday as Lando Norris clinched his third win of the season, narrowly holding off teammate Oscar Piastri after a race-long duel. Norris crossed the line in a time of 1:23:47.693, with Piastri finishing just 2.695 seconds behind. The result cut Piastri’s lead in the championship to just 15 points. Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Ferrari, finishing 19.820 seconds behind the race winner. Lewis Hamilton delivered one of his strongest drives of the season to secure fourth place, 29.020 seconds adrift, ahead of George Russell, who rounded out the top five for Mercedes, a full 62.396 seconds back.

The race wasn’t without controversy. Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli collided with Max Verstappen on the opening lap at Turn 3, ending both drivers’ races early. Antonelli was later handed a three-place grid penalty for the upcoming round.

Further down the order, Liam Lawson converted a strong qualifying into sixth place, followed by Fernando Alonso and rookie Gabriel Bortoleto, who scored his maiden F1® points in eighth. Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Ocon completed the top ten.
