SPIELBERG, Austria - Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix after beating Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in a wheel-banging battle of the 21-year-olds on Sunday, subject to a Formula One stewards’ enquiry.
Verstappen seized the lead from Leclerc, who had led from pole position, two laps from the end with the dueling pair making contact into the tight uphill turn three as the crowd roared. Championship-leading team mate Lewis Hamilton, winner of the previous four races, finished fifth and behind Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.
“For Honda to win again here is incredible,” said the youngster, who had to fight back from eighth at the end of the first lap after getting bogged down on the front row at the start. Vettel made two pitstops, the first catching the mechanics by surprise, and used his fresher tyres to put a late move on Hamilton.
