Formula one champion Max Verstappen wins the Austrian Grand Prix from the pole position on Sunday after clinching a third in a row victory and extending his lead over title rival Lewis Hamilton to 32 points after nine races. This was Max’s fifth win of the season compared to three for Hamilton, who dropped down from second place to fourth place after going too wide on a turn and rolling over a kerb which damaged one of his tires.
Verstappen’s teammate Valtteri Bottas finished second ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, who clinched the fourth podium of his career on the same track where he secured his first last year. Norris is the only driver to have scored points in every race this season. Hamilton hasn’t won since Spanish GP two months ago.
This Austrian Grand Prix was Max’s other success at the Red Bull ring. Along with him, his team’s track and thousands of his orange-shirted fans cheering on his 15th career win.
Max Verstappen got away clearly again for another lights-to-flag win, the way Hamilton has so often done. On the other hand, Hamilton’s 99 formula one (F1) win continues and he will hope for a change of fortune at the British GP (Grand Prix) in Silverstone in two weeks.
