The Formula 1 championship standings have been updated following the Austrian Grand Prix, with George Russell taking victory at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg - the Briton regains P2 ahead of P2 in the Drivers' standings.
Russell has again seen a helpful boost of points this weekend in his bid to catch Kimi Antonelli in the Drivers' standings. The Italian, however, still managed to secure the final podium place in the Styrian Hills. It was also a welcome haul of points for Max Verstappen, who finished P2.
As for the Constructors’ Standings, Mercedes maintain their lead in the title fight after a poor race day for Ferrari - both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were put onto a three-stop strategy, ultimately finishing P5 and P8 having started from P2 and P3, respectively.
Here are the updated F1 Standings after the Austrian GP:
