NORRIS WINS THE 2025 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX
Lando Norris took victory in the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, becoming the 44th driver to have won as many as seven Grands Prix, equalling his team-mate’s tally of victories. This was Norris’ third win of the season.
Norris made this the 100th race weekend at which McLaren both took pole position and won the race.
Norris became the 35th driver to record as many as 35 podium finishes in Formula 1, equalling the career tallies of Juan Manuel Fangio and Emerson Fittipaldi.
This was McLaren’s seventh Austrian Grand Prix victory, overtaking Ferrari and Mercedes for the most wins at the event. They also overtook Mercedes for the most wins at the Red Bull Ring in the venue’s history on the Formula 1 calendar.
Norris’ win was the tenth for a Mercedes-powered car at the Austrian Grand Prix, overtaking Ford Cosworth as the most successful engine manufacturer at the event.
The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix remains the only race at the Red Bull Ring in which Norris failed to score a point from his nine appearances to date. This was his third podium finish at the venue.
ON THE PODIUM
Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc joined Lando Norris on the podium at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.
This was the first time since 2000 that all of the top three drivers on the grid finished on the podium at the Red Bull Ring.
With Piastri finishing second to Norris, this was the 100th 1-2 finish for Mercedes-powered cars in Formula 1’s history. Mercedes is the second engine manufacturer to reach that milestone after Ford Cosworth, who did so at the 1981 San Marino Grand Prix.
This was McLaren’s first 1-2 at the Austrian Grand Prix since 2000.
This was the second year in a row that Piastri finished as runner-up in the Austrian Grand Prix.
Piastri leads the Drivers’ Championship by 15 points after the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix. He is the first Australian to lead the World Championship after seven consecutive races since Jack Brabham did so between the 1966 French and South African Grands Prix.
Leclerc finished on the podium for the fourth time this season. This was his fifth top three result at the Red Bull Ring, becoming only the fifth driver to record as many as five podium finishes at the event.
