Max Verstappen beats Lewis Hamilton again in F1 Styrian Grand Prix… amid heartbreak for George Russell


MAX VERSTAPPEN led from start to finish to bolster his Formula One title bid with yet another dominant performance on a Sunday.

Lewis Hamilton had no answer to the Dutch star’s raw pace in the Styrian Grand Prix around the Red Bull Ring.

Yet a power unit issue wrecked his afternoon while in eighth place and he eventually retired.
