PC: F1
The Austrian Grand Prix 2025 was one heck of the most interesting and happening races so far in the 2025 season. What started out as absolute chaos became an absolute cinema during the final laps. With Red Bull’s only hope, Max Verstappen, being out at the home ring, to Nico Hulkenberg finishing remarkable 11 places up from where he started, the race delivered one of the most thrilling experiences ever. So let’s take a look at the details.
The Austrian Grand Prix 2025 started with Lando Norris on pole, Charles Leclerc in second place, and Oscar Piastri in third. As the lights went out for the formation lap, Carlos Sainz found it difficult to move, leading to a start from the pit stop. However, he ended up not starting the race as his car caught fire, leading to a disappointing end to hopes for Williams.
Meanwhile, as the race began, Oscar Piastri pulled off a Verstappen move and overtook Leclerc on the very first turn and maintained his lead. Then came the most dramatic incident of the race as Kimi Antonelli locked up his rears and crashed into Max Verstappen, forcing both of them off the track and retiring from the race. Antonelli faced a three-place grid penalty for the upcoming race at Silverstone for this incident.
However, in a rare sight of events, Verstappen seemed to be really okay with the crash as he realised it was his favourite rookie, Antonelli. I mean, we all know what would have happened if it were George Russell. This is absolutely not what Red Bull would have expected on their home ring. All hopes rested with Yuki Tsunoda to score some points, but he ended up getting a 10-second penalty for bumping into Franco Colapinto while battling to get his position back from him. This ended all hopes for Red Bull at the Red Bull Ring.
Meanwhile, the race saw a highly intense back-and-forth battle between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri on lap 11, which, by the way, was a sight to watch. Then, as the race reached its final laps, Franco Colapinto was given a blue flag, which means he had to let the race leader, Piastri, pass him, although he ended up forcing Piastri off the track, gaining a 5-second penalty.
As Piastri finally went up the traffic, he was stuck as Gabby and Alonso fought for a better position, leading Norris to secure the Austrian Grand Prix 2025. Oscar Piastri finished second, while Charles Leclerc completed the podium. Lewis Hamilton had a comparatively better race as he finished fourth, narrowly missing the podium, while the previous winner, George Russell, finished fifth.
A surprising sixth-place finish was claimed by Liam Lawson for the Racing Bulls, which makes everyone wonder if Red Bull regrets replacing him with Yuki, who finished last. Alonso finally scored some points for Aston Martin, finishing in seventh place, while the Sauber duo finished eighth and ninth, scoring points.
