Lando Norris fought off a challenge from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to win the Austrian Grand Prix.

Norris’ third win 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 this 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 took 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.
