Lando Norris delivered a dominant performance at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. The Brit led a McLaren 1-2 finish, followed by teammate Oscar Piastri, with Charles Leclerc completing the podium. With this result, Norris cuts the gap in the drivers’ standings to just 15 points behind the Australian.
Chaos at the start and Verstappen’s early exit
The race was delayed 15 minutes after Carlos Sainz’s Williams failed to start on the formation lap and caught fire in the pit lane. Moments later, rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli misjudged his braking and collided with Max Verstappen, eliminating both and triggering a safety car.
Strategy, penalties, and traffic drama
McLaren controlled the race after the restart, with Norris and Piastri swapping the lead. Pit stops reshuffled the order briefly, with Leclerc taking the lead momentarily. However, Franco Colapinto impeded Piastri during his out-lap, earning a 5-second penalty that dropped the Argentine to 15th.
