Max Verstappen took a dominant win in the sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix after a first-lap squabble with team-mate Sergio Perez.

In wet conditions, Perez took the lead from Verstappen at the first corner and then edged the world champion onto the grass after the corner.

But Verstappen made a pass stick out of Turn Four and proceed to motor away to another win.

Perez led Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz home in second place.

Verstappen expressed his annoyance with Perez to the team after the race, saying his move out of Turn One was “really not OK” and they “had to have a chat about it”.
