Max Verstappen survived a race of attrition that claimed even erstwhile championship leader Lewis Hamilton, to clinch victory in yesterday's Austrian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver crossed the line 1.5 seconds ahead of the charging Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen with the Finn's teammate Sebastian Vettel, a further 1.6 seconds adrift in third position. Hamilton retired on the 64th of 71 laps, ending a record run of 33 consecutive finishes in the points. But the race was lost long before then for the British champion.
