George Russell held onto the lead ahead of the two Ferraris, with Lewis Hamilton sweeping around the outside of Charles Leclerc to snatch second place at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Monegasque tried to pass the race leader around the outside at Turn 3, but Russell held on, allowing Hamilton to get a better exit and pass his teammate around the outside with a brilliant move at the next corner.
Max Verstappen, meanwhile, held onto fifth place, while Antonelli kept fourth despite running off track. Shortly afterwards, however, the Dutchman passed both Antonelli and Leclerc to move up to third and into a podium position.
