Verstappen holds off McLaren challenge to take 3rd sprint race victory of the season at Austrian GP

Associated Press  

SPIELBERG, Austria — Formula 1 leader Max Verstappen held off an early attack by Lando Norris before pulling away from the two McLarens to comfortably secure his third sprint race victory of the year Saturday at the Austrian Grand Prix. Verstappen finished 4.616 seconds ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri to make it three wins out of three in sprint races this season, with Norris another 0.732 seconds back in third. Norris ended up being overtaken by his teammate as well during that sequence, but Piastri could not seriously challenge Verstappen after that and the Red Bull driver gradually extended his lead over the 23-lap race. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who is third in the overall standings, only managed to come seventh in the sprint race and dropped to six points behind Norris.
