Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the Styrian Grand Prix by a massive margin on Sunday to power 18 points clear of Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One (F1) championship battle.

Verstappen led from start to finish at Austria's Red Bull Ring, with seven-times world champion Hamilton second for Mercedes.

It was the first time since 2013 that mighty Mercedes had gone four races in a row without a win and the first time since then that Red Bull had celebrated four successive victories. "You never know how it's going to end up but straight away I felt a good balance in the car," he added after stepping out of the car.Valtteri Bottas was third for Mercedes, just holding off Verstappen's Mexican team mate Sergio Perez, who had fresher tyres, by a mere 0.527.

"That is the most dominant win we've had so far this year," said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner."It was a bit of a lonely race really," said Hamilton.
