POLL: Should Verstappen have been punished for Leclerc overtake?
What's your view on the big moment?
Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix for the second year in a row, but only after a three-and-a-half-hour wait for confirmation as his winning move on Charles Leclerc was investigated by the stewards.
A beastly drive from Verstappen undid the damage done of a disastrous start which dropped him to eighth.
The Dutchman caught Leclerc with a handful of laps remaining and eventually passed him on the penultimate tour of the Red Bull Ring, sending the thousands of orange-clad fans into raptures.
Check out the incident below and let us know your thoughts.
