Lando Norris: Wins Austrian Grand Prix
Norris returned to winning ways at the Austrian Grand Prix after getting the better of McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri in a head-to-head scrap for victory - title rival Max Verstappen having been eliminated in a first-lap incident, Formula1.com reports.
Analysis:
Norris would get away well at the lights out and his teammate Oscar Piastri would vault Charles Leclerc for second-place. The two McLarens would get away from the field and battle hotly for the lead in the early laps. Norris and Piastri had the clear pace and would separate themselves from the rest. Norris would do a good job keeping Piastri out of DRS range in the closing laps and would secure the win by just over 2.5-seconds. It was his third victory of the season.
