Lewis Hamilton put in a champion's drive as he cruised to victory at the Styrian Grand Prix.

He led from the off after a dominant qualifying performance in the wet on Saturday, leading home team mate Valtteri Bottas in second.

The Finn tracked down and passed Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the closing stages to pass the Dutchman whose tyres were struggling late on.

Alex Albon was fourth for the second Red Bull car as he survived yet another Turn 4 collision with Sergio Perez.

Lando Norris went from ninth to fifth on the last lap after capitalising on another incident between Daniel Ricciardo and Lance Stroll, while passing the battle weary Perez at the final corner.

Carlos Sainz Jnr was ninth but gained an extra point with the fastest lap of the race, and Daniil Kvyat rounded out the points in tenth.
