SPIELBERG, Austria - Mercedes' Nico Rosberg led a one-two victory to earn his third and Mercedes' seventh win of the season at the 2014 Austrian GP.
Rosberg finished 1.9 seconds ahead of team mate Lewis Hamilton in a closely fought battle at the Red Bull Ring. Despite starting in ninth, Mercedes' Hamilton had an amazing start to the race, leaping to fourth place by lap two.
The season's eighth race saw Mercedes extend their lead in the Constructors' standings to 301 points, with Red Bull trailing in a distant second place with 143 points.
GREAT RACE BY BOTTAS
Rosberg, who has never finished off the podium in 2014, grabs a 29-point lead over Hamilton in the fierce internal Mercedes battle.
Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, who had started on the front row, finished third and fourth respectively. Bottas earned his Formula 1 podium. The Williams' duo held on to the front row but were overtaken in short order by dominant Mercedes.
RED BULL, TORRO ROSSO WOES
Sebastian Vettel had a poor start at Red Bull's home circuit. The defending champion suffered throttle issues from the first lap and lagged throughout. On lap 36, Vettel was told to retire from the race.
Torro Rosso's Danil Kvyat ran wide of the track on lap 26 and shredded his rear-right tyre. He radioed that he had "no brakes", ending his race. By lap 61, Torro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne was forced to retire due to a similar brake issue.
