Lando Norris surprised with the pole and secured his third victory of the season with a strong race. His teammate Oscar Piastri took second place, Charles Leclerc completed the podium. Lewis Hamilton was fourth, George Russell fifth. There was already a drama in the first corner: Max Verstappen was eliminated after a collision with Kimi Antonelli. McLaren drivers showed a controlled double performance - "robust and fair", as McLaren himself commented. For the first time in Q3, Sauber driver Gabriel Bortolotto took the first world championship points after a very good race with 8th place. Good news: Thanks to the commitment of Mark Marteschitz, who wants to pursue the ideas of his father Dietrich, the Red Bull Ring received a Formula 1 contract until 2041!
