    George Russell has just said "Yabba, Dabba Do!" on the radio. We didn't expect anything less from the Mercedes man. And now he does his famous arms out F1 intro pose.

    It's got to be incredibly special, the amount of times he's [Russell] sat watching people take victories here.

    This is a real turnaround for the Mercedes team and for George Russell, he is the last driver who has won for Mercedes in Brazil 2022.

    George Russell only has to hold on for a few minutes now to secure his first race victory of the 2024 season. The Mercedes takes the final corner and crosses the line...

    I think Piastri needs more laps in this race, he's gaining tenths all the time but whether it's going to be quite enough.

    Ashic: Oh my... Toto on the top of the podium in Austria... And if Mercedes hadn't made the wrong call, it'd have been Lewis. Horner is going to be in a mood.

    Sho: They have to change the rules in these situations. What does the 10 second penalty do to Max given his lead over Hulkenberg? He's caused Norris to DNF, the penalty should be much more severe

    The history books will tell us that George Russell has had a few dicey moments at the end of races when he has been handed the advantage, but this day looks to be heading the Mercedes driver's way.

    He [Russell] has done better than I expected getting those hard tyres back up to temperature.

    This is fascinating to see how this is all going to play out.

    I have to say it looked like it was Verstappen who was really pushing the limits there and closing Norris up to the edge of the track, but we will see what the stewards say.
