Nico Rosberg took his fourth win of the season at the Austrian Grand Prix ahead of Lewis
Hamilton despite a determined charge by the Briton to second from ninth on the grid. Rosberg’s win extends his Formula 1 World Championship lead over Hamilton to 29 points. Williams’ Valtteri Bottas claimed his first podium finish with third place ahead of pole winner Felipe Massa.
At the start, pole position man Felipe Massa made
a solid getaway to hold the lead. Behind him Bottas lost second place to Rosberg into Turn One but managed to wrestle back the advantage at the following corner.

a solid getaway to hold the lead. Behind him Bottas lost second place to Rosberg into Turn One but managed to wrestle back the advantage at the following corner.
Behind them Hamilton made a storming start, climbing to fifth from ninth on the grid. He went one better in the final turn of lap one to pass Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and he then settled in behind team-mate Rosberg as the field crossed the line to
begin lap two.Sebastian Vettel though was in trouble. At the
start of lap two he slowed dramatically and reported that he had lost power. He pulled over and seemed set to stop but then mysteriously his Red Bull RB10 seemed to right itself. He was told to ‘go racing’ by race engineer. The champion though was a lap down on the field and a significant recovery looked impossible.

The Red Bull driver soldiered on at the back of the field, surviving a collision with Esteban Gutierrez along the way, until he was eventually told by the team to retire his car midway through the race.
Team-mate Daniel Ricciardo also had a rocky start. Pushed wide in turn two on the first lap he dropped from fifth on the grid to eighth. He was soon after informed that he should not use his overtake button for the whole race and hampered
by power problems he was soon down to tenth.With the opening supersoft tyres being used
by the bulk of the field graining badly, the first round of pit stops wasn’t long in coming. Jean-Eric Vergne was the first in, on lap nine, the Toro Rosso swapping the option tyres for prime softs. He was followed a lap later by Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg and on the following lap by Kevin Magnussen, Daniil Kvyat and Ricciardo.
