Overview

  • Lando Norris converted pole position with a 1’03"971 lap into victory to secure McLaren’s leading win at Spielberg.
  • Oscar Piastri finished second to extend his championship lead and deliver McLaren’s first one-two of the season.
  • Ferrari’s revised floor package yielded season-best grid slots for Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton but failed to challenge McLaren’s race pace.
  • Rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s opening-corner collision with Max Verstappen forced both drivers out and snapped Verstappen’s streak of 31 consecutive points finishes.
  • Ferrari plans further aerodynamic upgrades at Spa and the Hungaroring before the summer break as it seeks the race-winning performance it still lacks.
