It's also Bottas' second ever Grand Prix win! His first came at the Russian Grand Prix this year.

Phenomenal driving from an excitable Daniel Ricciardo, with Bottas driving clinically and cleanly this year.

Sebastian Vettel now extends his championship lead to 20 points with Hamilton finishing in P4!

Phenomenal racing in the end for the front two rows with some solid two battles - P1-P2 and P3-P4!

Sebastian Vettel is in P2 and Daniel Ricciardo finishes up the podium for P3

VALTTERI BOTTAS WINS THE AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX!!!

LAST LAP!!!!!! Hamilton tries to get the inside of Ricciardo and Ricciardo PULLS away! He's still in P3 and Valtteri Bottas really having to fight off Vettel now.

Vettel reduces the gap and DRASTICALLY!!

Mercedes do better in straightline, but Vettel now in DRS range of Valtteri Bottas, and he's closed gap to 1.2s #AustrianGP

Bottas has to push on and with Vettel now really hunting for that win, he's inching closer and closer. Meanwhile Ham only +1.37s behind Ricciardio in P3, and gaining time REALLY quick.

Hamilton's blistering badly but with only 7 laps to go, no box! Two good fights on. P3-P4 and P1-P2!

Checo Perez reporting there's rain at turn 9. We've got 7 laps to go still..

That said he still hits another fastest lap and Daniel Ricciardo will want to watch out now!

Lewis Hamilton's tyres don't look in great condition right now with the right rear blistered quite deeply. As is the right left.

Carlos Sainz says despite P10 start he missed tyre changes and had a 'lack of power' which made him miss out on results.

Bottas pushing for pace now. We've got 13 laps in this race.

Bottas has a 3.2s advantage over P2 Vettel and he'll want more pace if he wants to keep his lead for the next 16 laps.

FASTEST SECTORS

HAM = 🔥

He's also broken the LAP RECORD at Spielberg

2.4seconds between P8 Esteban Ocon (Force India) and Massa in P9.

Jolyon Palmer has kept himself in the race - big stuff for him, but he's just outside the points.

Pit for Kimi and he's back out on the ultrasofts! He pits at P2 and comes back out in P5.

Back in P1 is Bottas! Kimi now in P2 behind him and Vettel in third. Fresh tyres working some wonders.

Kimi now in the lead! Bottas comes out in P2 after pitting and Vettel in P3. Kimi is still to pit, though...

Ricciardo also boxes for supersofts, and Hamilton is now gaining on him quickly.

Box for Ferrari and Vettel gets on to supersofts. Kimi in P2 now, Vettel out of pits in P3.
