Max Verstappen wins Austrian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton retires.
Spielberg [1 July 2018]
Max Verstappen took a shock home victory for Red Bull at the
Austrian Grand Prix after both Mercedes cars retired from the
race with reliability issues.
Verstappen took the lead of the race thanks to a Mercedes strategy blunder just after Valtteri Bottas' retirement with a hydraulics issue. The Mercedes pit wall failed to pit Lewis Hamilton under the resulting Virtual Safety Car, which eventually relegated him down the order when he pitted under full racing speed.
A livid Hamilton retired in the closing stages as his car slowed to a halt at Turn 3 with a loss of fuel pressure.
Starting from sixth place, Sebastian Vettel wasn't able to take full advantage of title rival Hamilton's problem, but still took third directly behind Ferrari teammate Kimi Räikkonen. The podium finish returned Vettel to the lead of the championship by a single point and moved Ferrari to the top of the constructors' championship.
