00:00George Russell predicted that he would spend the Austrian Grand Prix with his popcorn watching
00:06Lando Norris and Max Verstappen battle for victory and hoping they would inadvertently
00:11gift him the win. Little did he know how quite literal that statement would prove to be.
00:17The crash, which occurred when Norris attempted a daring takeover, ended up costing the 24-year-old
00:24dearly. He was forced to retire and although Verstappen only had to change a tyre, the
00:30extra pit stop ultimately plunged the Dutchman down into 5th place.
00:35This triumph sees Russell, currently sitting in 7th in the Drivers' Championship, widen
00:40his lead over Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen continues to lead the table with
00:45237 points, a staggering 81 points ahead of Norris in 2nd place. Charles Leclerc meanwhile
00:53trails Norris by 6 points in 3rd, while Verstappen's Red Bull colleague Sands is in 4th position.
