Formula 1 leader Max Verstappen held off an early attack by Lando Norris before pulling away from the two McLarens to comfortably secure his third sprint race victory of the year Saturday at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen of the Netherlands, left, leads the field after the start of the sprint race at the Red Bull Ring racetrack in Spielberg, Austria, Saturday, June 29, 2024.

The dominant Verstappen has also won seven of the 10 grand prix races this season as he aims for a seemingly inevitable fourth straight F1 title, but he was put under serious pressure early on in this one.Norris started second behind Verstappen and stayed glued to the Red Bull for the first few laps, using his DRS to attack the championships leader.

Verstappen said the key was to get out of the range of the McLarens' DRS system, which allows the chasing driver to reduce the drag by opening up the rear wing of his car to get a burst of speed. The race was shortened by one lap after an aborted start led to the drivers having to make a second formation lap.
