George Russell held off Max Verstappen as the Mercedes driver returned to winning ways from pole position at the Austrian Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday.
Russell was never seriously challenged and returned to the top of the podium for the first time since the season-opener in March in Australia for a seventh career victory.
Verstappen finished a season-best second, up from fifth on the grid, in the home race of his Red Bull team, with five-time season winner and championship leader Kimi Antonelli third in the other Mercedes.
Verstappen trailed by some 10 seconds after the final pit stops with just over 20 laps left on a sweltering afternoon.
He finished 1.6 seconds back with the upgraded car but Russell was in full control up front while Verstappen needed to fend off a late threat from Antonelli.
Ferrari meanwhile missed the podium although Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton had started from second and third, respectively.
Hamilton, who had claimed his first victory for the Scuderia two weeks ago in Barcelona, was fifth behind McLaren's Oscar Piastri, and Leclerc eighth.
Hamilton had two thrilling battles with Verstappen in a duel of ex-champions, with the Dutchman eventually having the upper hand over his old foe whose three-stop strategy didn't pay off.
Five-time season winner Antonelli remains top of the championship, with Russell back in second past Hamilton.
