Valtteri Bottas won an action-packed Austrian Grand Prix for champions Mercedes today as Formula One started its delayed season with plenty of drama, if no spectators, in a race with only 11 finishers. Charles Leclerc finished a surprise second with Lando Norris celebrating a first podium after a time penalty dropped six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton to fourth.

“I managed to keep it together,” said Bottas, who had to keep his cool through three safety car periods.

Norris, at 20 the youngest driver in the race and now the youngest Briton to stand on an F1 podium, also set the fastest lap.
