Top 5 moments from the Austrian GP


Three hours after Max Verstappen celebrated his win aloft the podium for Red Bull, race stewards confirmed the Dutchman would not be penalised for a passing manoeuvre he executed on Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to take the lead on lap 69. 

It ended an agonising wait for the 21-year-old Red Bull driver after a brilliant race in which he started second, dropped to seventh on the opening lap and only led the race for four laps. 

The win for Red Bull ended the eight successive victories by Mercedes team. 

Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas rounded off the podium, while former champions Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and fifth.  

We take a look at the top five moments of the race in Spielberg: 

1. 'That' overtake - The brilliant passing move by Verstappen on Leclerc 

2. Vettel's long pitstop - The Ferrari pit crew weren't ready for Sebastian Vettel as he came into the pits for a tyre change, the team scrambled to get tyres ready with Vettel stationary for just over six seconds.
