Max Verstappen mounted a remarkable comeback to pass fellow young gun Charles Leclerc late on and win a thrilling Austrian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull starlet, cheered on by thousands of Dutch fans in sweltering conditions, denied Leclerc a maiden win after a epic wheel-to-wheel tussle.
Verstappen passed the Ferrari driver, who started on pole position and had been cruising for much of this race, with two laps to go but the pair appeared to bang wheels.
The Dutchman's race-defining move was under investigation after Leclerc conceded the corner and was forced off the Red Bull Ring track.
"What the hell is that?" Leclerc yelled over the team radio following the Dutchman's move.
The stewards deliberated for several hours after the race but deemed the overtake a racing incident and Red Bull clung on for their first win of the season.
"It is hard racing, otherwise we have to stay at home," said Verstappen, who has now won back-to-back races in Austria.
"If those things are not allowed in racing, then what is the point in being in Formula One.
"After that start I thought the race was over, but we just kept pushing hard. I had quite a bad flat spot on my first tyre, and then after the pit stop we were flying.
"You could see we had good pace on the straight to make the pass. I'm delighted for the team."

It seemed early on that a victory was unlikely but Verstappen quickly went about fighting his way through the field.
The Dutch sensation passed Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas and finally Leclerc in a stunning end to the race.
Bottas completed the podium but it was a tough race for Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton came home in a lowly fifth.
This day belongs to Verstappen, and deservedly so, as Red Bull brought an end to Mercedes’ 10-race winning streak.
For his fellow starlet Leclerc, the wait for a maiden F1 victory goes after a contentious incident ended his hopes of winning.
"I let the stewards decide, but for me in the car it was pretty clear,” said Leclerc. “I don't know how it looked on the outside, but we will see.
"I was on the outside just like the lap before, it was fine because he left the space for the exit on the corner.
“But he didn't on the next lap, so we touched and I had to go wide and then obviously I didn't have another chance to pass back, so it's a shame."
After last weekend’s dull French Grand Prix, Formula One needed to put on a show and it duly delivered.
The season so far has been dominated by Lewis Hamilton but the five-time world champion endured an underwhelming afternoon.
Hamilton had been looking to secure his fifth win in a row but front-wing damage ultimately meant he missed out on a podium for the first time this year.
The Briton's misery was compounded late on when fierce title rival Vettel managed to get his Ferrari ahead of the Mercedes to secure fourth.
Elsewhere, British rookie Lando Norris enhanced his glowing reputation with a sensational performance in his McLaren.
At one stage, the 19-year-old when wheel-to-wheel with British rival Hamilton and eventually finished sixth, equalling his career best.
Reigning world champion Hamilton will head to his home race at Silverstone in two weeks' time, 31 points clear of Bottas in the championship.
