A thrilling 2025 Formula One season continues this weekend with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.
McLaren will be hoping for a smoother time of it in Spielberg for round 11 after the drama that unfolded in Canada a fortnight ago, when team-mates and title rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided with four laps to go, knocking Norris out of the race and leaving the apologetic Briton with some tough questions to answer.
Championship leader Piastri managed to continue and finish fourth, with George Russell turning his impressive pole position into a wire-to-wire win - his first of the season - on a terrific day for Mercedes at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in which rookie Kimi Antonelli also grabbed his first podium behind Max Verstappen.
The chaos in Montreal left Norris 22 points behind Piastri in the drivers’ standings, with Verstappen a further 21 adrift ahead of Russell.
Norris has admitted his need to stop making so many mistakes and heads to Austria with little margin for error, though he made a good start at the home of Red Bull by qualifying on pole position.
