Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) scored his fourth Formula 1 victory in a career today in the Austrian Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring. The 20-year-old Dutchman triumphed in a race which saw a retirement of both Mercedes drivers and his teammate Dani Ricciardo, all three due to technical issues.

Their misfortune helped Scuderia Ferrari to take two places on a podium, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing second and Sebastian Vettel finishing third. Fifteen points on his account promoted Vettel to the championship lead. Ferrari also takes the lead in the Manufacturers’ standings.
