Nico Rosberg wins Austrian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton started Sunday Spielberg race from Pole position, but it was Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg who led into turn 1. From there on the German driver never looked back, securing his third win of the season to reduce Hamilton’s title advantage to just 10 points. The world champion, also handicapped by a 5s time penalty for crossing the white line on the pit exit, took the flag 3.8s behind Rosberg, while Felipe Massa scored his first and Williams second podium of the season.

Nor could anyone hold a candle to the Mercedes. Sebastian Vettel tried his best, but lost third place when Ferrari pit stop was delayed as the right rear wheel took longer to change. That was sufficient to drop him behind Felipe Massa, and his chase after the Brazilian was one of the race highlights. Over the final laps he was within striking distance, but Massa held on for his first podium since Abu Dhabi last year.

Ferrari lost their car in a violent accident on the opening lap and came into contact with Fernando Alonso McLaren. McLaren then retired their second car soon afterwards, when Jenson Button lost power after two pit stops, one to serve his 10s stop and go penalty for power unit changes, the other to investigate the incurable problem.

Hamilton still leads the driver championship with 169 points to Rosberg 159 and Vettel 120, while in constructor stakes Mercedes have 328 points to Ferrari 192 and Williams 129. Next race will take in Silverstone circuit, Britain on 5^th July, 2015. Last year the race was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. Stay tuned for this year result.
