Nico Rosberg attempted to stop Lewis Hamilton's pass on him going into Turn 2, but the block backfired, he lost his front wing and his teammate and main rival for the championship drove on to score the victory in the Austrian Grand Prix.
It was the year’s greatest race day, with three major events taking place.
