Verstappen and Norris were battling for the lead in Spielberg when they both suffered punctures from contact at Turn 3. Norris was trailing Verstappen after a slow pit stop, but the collision could have been avoided if Verstappen had been informed of Norris’ track limit violations. Norris received a penalty later in the race and retired after a clash with Verstappen. Red Bull Team Principal Marko admitted to multiple factors contributing to their loss, including tire strategy and aggressive driving. He lamented the degeneration of the battle into the use of unpleasant tactics instead of a fair finish. Despite the outcome, Red Bull extended their lead in both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships.
