Fifth spot for George as Norris ignites his charge for world title

LANDO Norris won the battle of the McLarens to land a morale-boosting victory in Austria which breathes fresh life into his world championship charge.

- 

Norris kept his nerve in a thrilling duel with Oscar Piastri to take his third triumph of the season, reducing the title deficit to his team-mate to 15 points from 22.

Wisbech's George Russell finished fifth in his Mercedes.

A fortnight after Norris ran into the back of Piastri in Canada, the two McLaren men came within centimetres of another collision on lap 20 of 70.

Piastri lost control of his car as he attempted a lunge at turn four, before he was warned not to attempt a similar move, a sign McLaren had called off the fight.
