GEORGE RUSSELL laughed as he watched back the incident which gift-wrapped his second career Formula One win.
The Mercedes driver secured victory at the Red Bull Ring - his team's first since his maiden win in Brazil in 2022.
And he could not believe his luck after Lando Norris and Max Verstappen collided while fighting for the lead with seven laps to go.
After several laps of furious fighting, with Norris' McLaren all over the back of the Red Bull, they touched and both cars picked up punctures to force them both into the pit lane.
Russell had been trundling around in third but suddenly shot towards the chequered flag to take victory.
Shown a replay as he waited for the podium ceremony, he shared a giggle with Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz.
