After their crash at the Canadian Grand Prix two weekends ago, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri had another hard-fought battle at the Red Bull Ring.
Already after the start, after the Australian driver could immediately overtake Charles Leclerc, he went side-by-side with the Briton on Lap 1, but a move did not materialise.
On Lap 11, Piastri went for another attempt into Turn 3, and got up to the lead briefly, but Norris could re-claim the lead into Turn 4. See the footage below!

On Lap 20, Piastri locked up into Turn 4, and nearly hit his teammate. However for now, the two McLaren cars did not make contact for the second weekend in a row.
As a result, at the end of the lap, Norris was called into the pit lane by the Woking-based team.
