Lando Norris bounced back from a catastrophic weekend in Canada to win the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday ahead of McLaren team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri.
Norris went out in Canada a fortnight ago after a collision with Piastri, but in Austria the British driver started from pole and led throughout the entire race to take his third victory of the season.

Piastri finished second and tops the drivers’ standings 15 points ahead of Norris. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari completed the podium in third.
Home team Red Bull meanwhile met disaster, with world champion Max Verstappen knocked out of the race in the first lap after an incident with Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes, and Yuki Tsunoda finishing 16th.
The start of the race was aborted after Carlos Sainz of Williams failed to get away during the formation lap.
The race started with a delay of around 20 minutes, and Norris and Piastri went wheel-to-wheel in the first lap, but the polesitter hung on.
The two title contenders had a tight battle in the early stages of the race, with Piastri briefly taking the lead on lap 11, only for Norris to snatch it back immediately after.
Piastri tried another move on Norris on lap 20, but locked up and almost hit his team-mate.
