Max Verstappen managed to cash in on his pole position at the start of the Styrian Grand Prix. The Dutchman had a good start and managed to keep title rival Lewis Hamilton behind him. Lando Norris, Sergio Perez and Bottas all gained and lost places on the first lap.

The biggest victims were Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver hit the former on the left rear tyre which caused a puncture. The Frenchman started on P6 but could not finish the race. Leclerc had to come in immediately to have his front wing replaced.
