Winner of the Austrian Grand Prix, his second victory in 2026, George Russell has definitively got back on the right track in the Formula 1 championship, where he takes another 10 points back from Kimi Antonelli.
Still the solid leader, the Italian limited the damage well in the race and still has a 40-point lead over his team-mate, who has reclaimed second place from Lewis Hamilton.
Now fourth ahead of Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri leads a group of four that is tightening up behind the leading trio, which Max Verstappen joins thanks to his second place finish at Red Bull's home race - his best result of the season.
Despite a run of points finishes coming to an end, Pierre Gasly remains in the top 10 but sees his compatriot Isack Hadjar overtake him.
In the constructors' standings, Mercedes continues to romp away at the top of the championship with almost 100 points more than Ferrari! Cadillac remains the only team without a single point.
