2024 F1 Austrian Grand Prix - Race Day - LIVE UPDATES!

Gasly does the switchback on Ocon to gain the position. Alpine boss Bruno Famin would have been sweating watching that. 

"What was that? Why did he just push me off the track?"

Ocon and Gasly fight hard as they get past Alonso.

Verstappen, Norris, RUssell, Sainz, Hamilton, Piastri, Perez, Hulkenberg, Magnussen and Ricciardo.

No further action for a possible unsafe release.

Speeding in the pit lane for the Red Bull driver.

Verstappen's gap at the front is up to 7.0s but he seems to be managing a possible gearbox issue. He's avoiding eighth gear on the way down to Turn 3.

"Lewis there is everything to play here, everything to play!"

Verstappen, Norris, Russell, Sainz, Hamilton, Piastri, Hulkenberg, Perez, Magnussen and Ricciardo.

He's been handed a five-second time penalty for crossing the pit entry. 

Verstappen and Norris come into the pit lane now for fresh rubber. Hards for both drivers.

Piastri takes the net lead of the race now.

Looked like he might have crossed the white line on pit entry.

Hamilton and Perez come in for the hard tyres. Hamilton rejoins ahead of the two Haas drivers.

Ocon and Bottas are the next drivers to come in for new hard tyres. 

Verstappen, Norris, Russell, Sainz, Hamilton, Piastri, Perez, Ocon, Gasly and Tsunoda.

Verstappen is currently running 5.1s ahead of Norris. While the McLaren has a 3.1s advantage over Russell currently. 

Sainz is just 1.7s behind in fourth; who is 1.6s ahead of Hamilton.

Magnussen and Ricciardo come into the pit lane for a set of hards. They rejoin ahead of Leclerc in 17th and 18th respectively. 

A bit of a lull at the moment as replays show Hamilton letting Sainz by into Turn 3. It seems Hamilton gained an unfair advantage on the opening lap so by letting Sainz through, it means no penalty from the stewards.

Verstappen is 3.3s ahead of Norris at the front. Dominant. 

He overtakes Perez around the outside of Turn 6. A ballsy move.

Sainz uses DRS to breeze past Hamilton into fourth into Turn 3.

Verstappen, Norris, RUssell, Hamilton, Sainz, Perez, Piastri, Hulkenberg, Ocon and Magnussen.

The Mercedes pair are battling hard for third. Hamilton makes the move into Turn 3 but Russell has DRS, allowing him to get back ahead. 

Verstappen leads into Turn 1 ahead of Norris, Russell, Hamilton and Sainz.

Leclerc is forced to come into the pit lane with damage to his front wing.

Can anyone stop Max Verstappen today?
