Nico Rosberg beats Lewis Hamilton to Austrian GP victory
Spielberg [21 June 2015]
Nico Rosberg won the Austrian Grand Prix to keep in touch with Lewis Hamilton in the championship, beating his Mercedes team-mate off the line at the start of the race before comfortably holding the lead until the chequered flag.
Rosberg won by 3.8s on the road, which became 8.8s when Hamilton had a penalty applied for crossing the white line at the pit lane exit after his single pit stop. In truth Hamilton's only chance to make up for his slow start was to attack Rosberg into Turn 2 and Turn 3 on the opening lap, but Rosberg was wise to it and blocked the inside of both corners. An early safety car following a nasty crash involving Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso then neutralised the race until lap seven before Rosberg set about building up the necessary buffer to keep his team-mate at bay.
