F1 Standings 2025: Updated drivers & constructors Formula 1 leaderboard after Austrian GP
Briton Lando Norris held off a race-long challenge from his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday, cutting down the Australian's lead and lifting his Formula 1 Championship hopes with the win. The McLaren duo fought for the lead early on, with the Championship leader briefly getting into the lead before Norris took the position back. A rash lunge by Piastri nearly caused a collision soon after.
Piastri continues to lead the Championship with 216 points after the Austrian GP. The Australian has won five races this season, starting from his second career Formula 1 win at the Chinese Grand Prix. Norris moved past the 200 points mark as well and closed the gap between the two after taking 25 points on Sunday. He sits with 201 points.
More than ever this season, the title fight focuses on the two McLarens after defending champion Max Verstappen was hit by Kimi Antonelli on the opening lap, ending his race. Verstappen is still third but now 61 points off the lead and has 155 points.
Charles Leclerc was third for his third podium finish in four races, with his Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth in Austria.
George Russell, who won the last race in Canada, was fifth for Mercedes and Liam Lawson sixth for Racing Bulls in his best result of the season. Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin held off Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto for seventh. The second Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg was ninth, and Esteban Ocon finished 10th for Haas.
In the leaderboard, Russell finds himself in fourth with just nine points behind Verstappen. He is followed by Leclerc in fifth and Hamilton in sixth.

Neeraj Chopra Lauds Brett Lee's 'Javelin Throw Past', Australia Great's Reply Is Pure Gold
Brett Lee has responded to encouraging words from India's two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, who said the former Australian cricketer could be a good javelin thrower. In a freewheeling interview with JioStar, the official broadcaster of the most significant events of his season - the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025, the Tokyo Olympic Games gold medallist said Brett Lee could be a good javelin thrower. Chopra won a silver medal in the javelin throw event in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. "I have heard that Brett Lee was a javelin thrower. I think he could throw the javelin well, especially when he was in his peak years," said Chopra, who won back-to-back titles in the Paris Diamond League event and Ostrava Golden Spike meet. In his response to the interview, Brett Lee said he did throw the javelin during his schooling days, but was nowhere near as good as Neeraj. "I did throw the javelin back in my schooling days, but nowhere near what Neeraj does & continues to do," wrote the former Australian pacer in his post on X, formerly Twitter. He also explained why he did not continue with javelin despite indulging in it in his school days, and said the sport is very tough on the elbow. Brett Lee also expressed his admiration for Neeraj Chopra, who is one of the most popular and famous athletes on the international circuit. "Very tough on the elbow. I have, however, admired what this fine athlete can do and wish him well," said Brett Lee. He also expressed his interest in trying javelin alongside India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. "I would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah too, and hope he teaches me some bowling skills. While bowling and javelin are both throws, they are very different. I would like to learn from Bumrah." After his win in Paris, Neeraj was asked by a media outlet whether he had ever tried cricket, especially bowling. Neeraj said he would also like to try his hand at baseball pitching at some point.

I just feel like Alex is the perfect candidate,' Lyon said, adding that his 12-year stint as songmaster remains one of the biggest highlights of his career. 'I've run my race with it, and it's time for someone else to put their touch on it.'I've loved having the privilege to lead the team song, but now I can sit back, hopefully enjoy a few wins, and just relax and take it all in.'It definitely doesn't mean I'm retiring anytime soon,' he Australian players, the songmaster is part of an iconic tradition, passed from one generation to the next.

Greg Chappell sends stern message to Team India on what's going wrong: ‘India's problems were self-inflicted'
Greg Chappell criticised Team India's management led by coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill for preferring an extra batter over a bowler who can help them win Test matches. read more Greg Chappell did not held back as he analysed India's mistakes that led to a loss in Headingley Test. Image: AP Legendary Australian cricketer Greg Chappell has criticised the Indian cricket team management, which includes captain Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir, for preferring batting depth over maintaining a balanced bowling attack. Chappell, who also coached Team India in the past, said that the team's crushing five-wicket loss in the first Test against England at Headingley was a result of their own mistakes . Chappell, who captained Australia and scored 7,110 runs in 87 Tests, felt poor fielding and the lack of variety in India's bowling were the main reasons they lost the Leeds Test despite bossing the first four days of the match. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India are currently 1-0 down in the five-match Test series with the second game starting on 2 July at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 'India's problems were self-inflicted' Chappell feels India must include left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh and left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in their playing XI for the second Test against England. 'As disappointing as the fielding in Headingley was, it was not the main reason India lost the Test. Most of India's problems were self-inflicted. Perhaps the most expensive error was the no-ball that gave Harry Brook an early life in the second innings,' Chappell wrote in ESPNCricinfo. 'More concerning to me, though, is the lack of variety in the bowling attack. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, India's seamers are too similar – all right-arm, medium-fast, operating at comparable angles. There is a reason why wickets often fall after a change of bowling. It forces the batter to recalibrate. That variability isn't available to Shubman Gill with his current crop. Without Bumrah, I'd like to see left-armer Arshdeep Singh added to the mix and Kuldeep Yadav, possibly the best wrist spinner since Shane Warne, included in the attack,' he wrote further.

Why Team India's riskiest move could be its smartest The 76-year-old former batter also wrote that the lack of discipline by the Indian bowlers had undone all the good work by Jasprit Bumrah, who took a five-wicket haul in the first innings. 'Even with Bumrah in the mix, the rest of the attack has to be more disciplined. I didn't see two consecutive balls land in a dangerous place. They were either too full, too short or too wide. Bowlers have to work in partnerships as much as batters. All England have to do at present is to see off Bumrah and they know the pressure will go with him,' Chappell wrote. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Chappell slams Team India's preference for extra batter Chappell also slammed the Team India management for opting for a batting option instead of a pure bowler, who can help them take 20 wickets and win a Test match. 'I don't agree that an extra batter who bowls should be selected as insurance against top-order collapses. The top six must be trusted to deliver the runs and that the best combination to secure the requisite 20 wickets is available to the captain,' he said.
