00:00Norris holds off Piastri to win Austrian F1 GP after Verstappen crashes out early Lando.
00:06Norris won the Austrian Grand Prix after a tightly contested, tense battle with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
00:13The pair delivered an intense fight, but the British driver held the upper hand to take the flag.
00:18However, Max Verstappen's title hopes took a huge setback when the world champion was knocked out of the race on the opening lap.
00:25Having been struck by the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli, Ferrari enjoyed a strong return at the Red Bull ring, with Charles Leclerc third and Lewis Hamilton in fourth.
00:34George Russell was fifth for Mercedes after Norris and Piastri clashed at the last round in Canada.
00:40Hearts must have been in mouths at McLaren as their drivers vied to thrilling effect over the opening third of the race.
00:46Ducking and diving at one another in a bravura display that remained nip and tuck all the way to the flag.
00:52However, Norris held his nerve and the edge over his teammate and closed out the win with superb control.
00:58It was no little redemption and an enormously resilient comeback after his misjudgment in hitting Piastri in Montreal.
01:05He has closed the gap to Piastri, the championship leader, to 15 points, but for Verstappen, the title now looks to be a monumental mountain to climb.
01:15He was unceremoniously smashed into by an over-eager Antonelli.
01:18At turn three on the first lap, the world champions race over in seconds, and he now trails Piastri by 61 points.
01:26A gap that appears all but insurmountable given the pace advantage McLaren enjoy over Red Bull.
01:33The victory is a huge fillet for Norris in what looks likely to be an even more closely fought title fight with Piastri.
01:39The Briton badly needs to demonstrate he is still very much in the game and did so emphatically here.
01:44With a dominant pole, followed by an equally controlled and assured victory.
01:48His third of the season and one indicative that he is determined not to allow his teammate to take charge of the championship battle.
01:55More important, it may suggest something of a turning point for the British driver.
01:59He has struggled a little this season.
02:01Lacking the responsive feel from the front axle of the car, he likes to push it to the limit through corners.
02:06And it has caused him problems, particularly in qualifying.
02:10However, McLaren brought a major upgrade to Austria, with front and rear, aero improvements, and vitally for Norris.
02:17On his car, a front suspension development they were hoping would give him the feel he requires.
