Max Verstappen coasts to Austrian GP Sprint win as Lewis Hamilton involved in collision

Max Verstappen led the Sprint race from start to finish in Austria, while team-mate Sergio Perez made up eight places in what was a very tidy afternoon for Red Bull at their home race weekend.

Ferrari had both their drivers directly behind Verstappen from the start, but neither of them could get close to the Red Bull as it pulled away ahead of them. Instead, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were squabbling among themselves for second place, making life much easier for Verstappen.

George Russell kept hold of fourth while Perez made his way from 13th to fifth. There was no such improvement from Lewis Hamilton, though, as his Sprint was compromised when he was involved in a collision which sent Pierre Gasly into a spin at the first corner.
