Norris, Piastri finish one-two after Verstappen crashes out on first lap


Australian Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri claimed second place at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday after narrowly failing to chase down his McLaren teammate Lando Norris.

Charles Leclerc crossed in thirds for Ferrari, ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton.

The race got away to an eventful start when Red Bull’s Max Verstappen suffered his first retirement of the Formula 1 season after a collision with Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli on the opening lap of his team’s home grand prix.

The four-times world champion had started seventh on the grid, with Italian rookie Antonelli ninth, at a circuit where he has won a record five times.

Antonelli, who clearly caused the turn three collision, also retired and the safety car was deployed.

“I’m out – I got hit like crazy,” Verstappen, third in the championship going into the race, said over the team radio.

“Sorry about that – I locked the rear,” Antonelli told his team.
