Red Bull's Max Verstappen Pips Leclerc In Austria Thriller

Beijing: Red Bull's Max Verstappen became the first non-Mercedes driver to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2019, after the Dutchman overtook Ferrari's Charles Leclerc with two laps to go in Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix. In a thrilling race that stood in stark contrast to the pedestrian fare served up at last week's French Grand Prix, Leclerc led the majority of the race from pole position, but Max Verstappen recovered from a bad start to scythe his way through the field before finally taking the lead on lap 69, though the Dutchman's pass on Leclerc was placed under investigation by race stewards after the two cars made contact.
