- Charles Leclerc is second and Lando Norris is third
- Lewis Hamilton suffers a dramatic late-racing demotion
Valtteri Bottas took the win for Mercedes at the Austrian Grand Prix as teammate Lewis Hamilton suffered a dramatic late-racing demotion from second to fourth.
Formula One had opened its long-delayed 2020 season with the same controlled dominance from Mercedes with which they had closed 2019. Yet the final positions ebbed and flowed to the very close. Attrition caused a swathe of retirements across the field and Hamilton was penalised after a clash with Red Bull’s Alexander Albon. McLaren’s Lando Norris took his first F1 podium in third behind the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Carlos Sainz was fifth for McLaren.
