F1 2025: Apologetic Antonelli given Silverstone grid drop for Verstappen incident in Austria
Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli was given a three-place grid drop for the British Grand Prix after dumping Formula One champion Max Verstappen out of Red Bull's home race in Austria on Sunday. The 18-year-old Italian rookie lost control and collided with the four-time champion on the opening lap, after narrowly missing Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson, with neither able to continue. It was Verstappen's first retirement of the season and left him still third in the championship but now 61 points adrift of McLaren's Oscar Piastri after 11 of 24 rounds. Piastri finished second in a McLaren one-two with race winner Lando Norris. 'I braked hard because I was behind other cars, and in that moment I locked the rears. Then I just couldn't stop the car,' said Antonelli, who had taken his first career F1 podium in the previous round in Canada. 'The car was just taking speed and the crash was inevitable. I just feel super sorry to the team, and to Max of course, because obviously he was just a passenger.' Stewards ruled that Antonelli was fully at fault and also gave him two penalty points. At a circuit where he has won a record five times, Verstappen had started seventh on the grid, with Antonelli lining up ninth.

'It's just unlucky, like yesterday in qualifying,' he told Sky Sports television later. 'But overall, we didn't really have that great pace anyway this weekend, so a lot of learning for us on how we can hopefully do better next weekend. My mentality doesn't change. We've won a lot in the past. Sometimes you have to accept that you are not winning, and we just try to do the best that we can.' The retirement ended a run of 31 grands prix in the points for the Dutch driver, whose fans throng in their thousands to the Red Bull Ring but this time never got to see him race.

Formula 1: Norris back on top with Austrian GP win, Verstappen out in first lap drama
Lando Norris wins Austrian GP. (Image credit:X/McLaren F1). Lando Norris seized a crucial victory at the Austrian Grand Prix , fending off relentless pressure from teammate Oscar Piastri to reignite his Formula 1 title challenge. In a dramatic race that saw reigning world champion Max Verstappen eliminated on the first lap after a collision with Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli , the McLaren duo emerged as the dominant force around the Red Bull Ring. Starting from pole, Norris came under immediate threat from Piastri, who momentarily took the lead during a tense wheel-to-wheel exchange. However, the Briton quickly reclaimed control and managed to stay ahead despite a few hairy moments — including a late-braking attempt from Piastri that nearly led to contact. Piastri extended his first stint to gain strategic advantage and chased hard in the final laps, but Norris had just enough pace in hand to take the chequered flag. It marked Norris' third win of the season and his first since Monaco, narrowing the championship gap to 15 points behind Piastri heading into the British Grand Prix next week. VinFast VF7, VF6 Review: Good for India or not?| TOI Auto The race was all but over for Max Verstappen just moments after it started.

The incident has dealt a serious blow to his title hopes: he now trails by 61 points in the standings. With Verstappen out and the McLarens cruising up front, Ferrari capitalised. Charles Leclerc secured third place, notching up his third podium in four races, while teammate Lewis Hamilton came home in fourth. George Russell, the winner in Canada, was the highest-placed Mercedes in fifth after Antonelli's early exit. Further back, Racing Bulls ' Liam Lawson delivered his best result of the season in sixth, ahead of Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso.
