Lando Norris staved off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday in Spielberg, Austria.
Pole sitter Norris battled Piastri in the early going and again toward the end before the former raced to his third win of the season and first since last month's Monaco Grand Prix.
'We had a great battle, that's for sure,' Norris said over the radio in his post-race interview 'A lot of stress, but a lot of fun. A nice battle, so well done to Oscar.'
Norris picked up 25 points after finishing the race in 1 hour, 23 minutes and 47.693 seconds. Piastri crossed the finish line 2.695 seconds later to pocket 18 points, followed by Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc (19.82 seconds behind Norris) and Lewis Hamilton (29.02) and Mercedes' George Russell (62.396).
Russell captured his first F1 victory of the year on June 15, leading from wire-to-wire at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
Piastri holds a 15-point lead over Norris and a 61-point edge on reigning champion Max Verstappen, who resides in third place after he exited Sunday's competition following a collision with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli during Turn 3 in the opening lap.
Verstappen did not finish.
The incident brought out the safety car and plenty of foul language from Verstappen. The stewards later gave Antonelli a three-place grid penalty for his next race.
