George Russell showed he can stand the heat in more ways than one as he won the Austrian Grand Prix to revive his\u00a0Formula 1\u00a0title chances.<\/p>\n

Racing in a heatwave with a broken drinks system, Russell held off Max Verstappen and his own teammate Kimi Antonelli to turn his\u00a0controversial pole position\u00a0into a dominant win.<\/p>\n

It’s the first win for Russell, excluding sprint races, since the season-opening\u00a0Australian Grand Prix. Russell said it was \u201cincredible to be back on the top step\u201d after a \u201ctricky run of form.”<\/p>\n

Verstappen took the fight to Mercedes with his upgraded Red Bull car at the team’s home race, but couldn’t get close enough for a shot at Russell and finished up on the defensive against Antonelli. The top three were separated by just two seconds at the finish.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari failed to build on his\u00a0breakthrough win\u00a0at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix last time out, fading badly in the race despite qualifying well, with the seven-time champion fifth and teammate Charles Leclerc eighth.<\/p>\n

Russell takes back second in the standings from Hamilton with his seventh career win and cuts Antonelli\u2019s lead to 40points.<\/p>\n

Russell’s smart win<\/h2>\n

Russell took pole Saturday with a lap time set as a yellow flag was displayed for a crash by Verstappen. Russell argued he\u2019d lifted off enough to be safe and the stewards agreed.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s win showed off Russell\u2019s smart approach to racing in a different way as he managed his pace and stayed out of trouble, even as those behind him lost time battling each other for position.<\/p>\n

Leclerc had started second, with Hamilton third, but they gradually dropped back through the field on a track where they lacked power compared to Mercedes and also had difficulties with tire wear.<\/p>\n

Hamilton didn\u2019t give up without a fight, bringing back memories of his fierce battles with Verstappen in 2021. Hamilton and the Dutch driver fought side by side in the early part of the race and Verstappen complained Hamilton had forced him wide into a gravel trap.<\/p>\n

Racing in the heat<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0heatwave\u00a0sweeping Europe made this the first race of the year to be run under F1\u2019s \u201cheat hazard\u201d rules, with drivers required to use cooling vests or carry an equivalent weight in ballast. They lined up for the pre-race Austrian anthem in cooling gear and carrying umbrellas.<\/p>\n

Overheating brakes were a hot topic, with Antonelli among those struggling to stop the car. Both Cadillac drivers retired early, with the team\u2019s crew rushing to put out a small fire on Valtteri Bottas\u2019 car before Sergio Perez reported smoke.<\/p>\n
