With the ninth Grand Prix in the books in Austria, that saw
Max Verstappen claiming a famous win at his team's home venue, the championship standings have been shaken up again. Here's what it looks like!
After a very dull race in France, we've been treated to what surely is the race of the season so far in Austria. Verstappen, who started in second, dropped down as low as seventh, before the Dutchman selected a different gear and started passing people left and right.
After his pit stop, which came later than the rest of the top five, he passed Lewis Hamilton on the overcut, and later
Sebastian Vettel and
Valtteri Bottas on track. In the dying laps of the race, race leader
Charles Leclerc was passed too, albeit with a bit of contact at turn three.
The stewards are looking into it, with Verstappen potentially facing a penalty which could strip him of his victory.
In midfield,
Carlos Sainz put in an amazing shift to go from 19th, where he started because of a grid penalty, to eighth. His teammate
Lando Norris secured even more points for the British side as the teenager crossed the line in sixth.
Further down the field,
Antonio Giovinazzi finally secured his first-ever point in
Formula 1.
