Red Bull trails Mercedes
In both championships it is unprecedentedly exciting, although Red Bull are extending their lead. Red Bull won the team's home Grand Prix with Max Verstappen at the Red Bull Ring. Sergio Perez crossed the line in fifth, but lost a place after a penalty totalling ten seconds.
Mercedes also only counted one car on the podium. Valtteri Bottas finished second while Lewis Hamilton drove his damaged Mercedes to fourth. Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo helped out in McLaren's battle for third place with Ferrari.
