F1 Austrian GP: Max Verstappen wins wet-dry sprint race after feisty fight with Sergio Perez
Perez made a better start to initially jump Verstappen on the shor🧜t run to Tu꧑rn 1, but having nearly been squeezed onto the grass by Perez, the reigning world champion fought back into Turn 3, forcefully re-taking the lead.
Perez dropped to third but was able to later reclaim the pꦡosition to complete a Red Bull 1-2 at their home race.
But the Mexican was left unhappy with Verstappen’s driving, sayin✅g&✅nbsp;over team radio: “What’s wrong with Max man.”
Ferrari’s Carlos🥂 Sainz took third, ahead of the Aston Martin pair of Lance Stroll and Fernando ꦰAlonso in fourth and fifth.
Haas driver N༒ico Hulken💖berg ran as high as second on the opening lap but ultimately fell back to sixth at the chequered flag.
Alpine's Esteban Ocon pipped George Russell to seventh by just 0ꦛ.009s in a drag race to the line.
The Mercedes driver rec꧒overed to snatch the final point on offer in eighth, having been𓆉 the first driver to gamble on slick tyres as the track dried out.
McLaren's Lando Nor💟ris lost out in the fꦕirst lap melee while challenging the Red Bull pair for the lead at Turn 3.
He eventually slipped down the order after opting to stay on intermediates, finishing ninth, ahead of Lew🔯is Hamilton's Mercedes.
