The hills were alive with the sound of horsepower and high drama at the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix this weekend. What could have been a MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team double podium turned into a last lap clash between the race leading Silver Arrows.
Battling for the lead around the outside of turn two on the picture postcard alpine circuit in Spielberg, Austria, Hamilton went for a breathtaking race lead overtake. As the entry and apex of the corner loomed however, Lewis had not completely cleared ahead of Nico’s car; so the German racer was able to defend heavily and run his teammate wide.
