Russell holds off Verstappen to win Austrian Grand Prix

The crash sparked a controversial end to qualifying that saw Mercedes' George Russell claim pole position.

It only took three laps for the Austrian Grand Prix to descend into chaos.

Max Verstappen finished 1.6 seconds adrift, after crashing in qualifying and starting fifth, at his Red Bull team’s home circuit with Antonelli third and 0.3 behind after a thrilling chase to the line at scenic Spielberg.

The result cuts Antonelli’s lead in the standings over Russell to 40 points after it ballooned to 68 points just two races ago.
