Austria race recap:
The main talking point was the collision of the two Mercedes drivers on the final lap: with Hamilton on the outside trying to pass the race leader Rosberg approaching a hairpin, Rosberg didn't turn in to the apex and Hamilton turned into Rosberg.


The tv pundits and stewards blamed Rosberg for the collision, and he was given a time penalty, although this didn't affect his final finishing position of fourth after limping over the line with damage to his front wing. The crowd didn't see it the same way and booed the winner Hamilton on the podium.
Verstappen was second for Red Bull and Raikkonen third for Ferrari.
Driver of the day was probably Pascal Wehrlein: the Mercedes protege took Manor's first points of the season on a track which he knew well from his DTM days.

Race recap:
Hamilton won the British Grand Prix for the third year in a row, and is now just one point behind in the championship.

Rosberg was demoted after the race from second to third place: the stewards deemed Mercedes had breeched the radio rules by helping Rosberg overcome a gearbox problem. This promoted Verstappen to second place for Redbull. Ricciardo was fourth and Raikkonen was fifth. Vettel had a difficult race to ninth place.
