SPIELBERG, Austria - Lando Norris won the Austrian Grand Prix from pole position in a McLaren one-two on Sunday after fending off championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri.
The Briton's third victory of the season cut Australian Piastri's Formula One lead from 22 to 15 points after 11 of 24 rounds, with the two McLaren drivers increasingly in a battle of their own.
Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Ferrari with teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth and George Russell fifth for Mercedes.

Thai factory output up 1.88% y/y in May on higher car output, exports
[BANGKOK] Thailand's manufacturing production index rose 1.88 per cent in May from a year earlier, the industry ministry said on Monday, slightly higher than analysts' forecasts after increases in car production and exports. The figure compared with a forecast year-on-year rise of 1.80 per cent for May in a Reuters poll. April's increase was adjusted to 1.91 per cent from a preliminary figure of 2.17 per cent. Uncertainties over US trade policy and high domestic household debt remain a concern, the ministry said in a statement. The ministry has forecast output growth of zero to 1 per cent for the whole year. Thailand faces US tariffs of 36 per cent on its exports if it fails to negotiate a reduction before a moratorium expires on July 9. Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said on Monday he would travel to the United States later in the day for trade talks to be held over the next two days. Commerce ministry data showed that exports, a key driver of growth, jumped 18.4 per cent in May from a year earlier as shipments to the United States surged ahead of the end of the tariff pause. Car production in Thailand, a regional automaking centre, rose 10.32 per cent in May from a year earlier, the first annual rise in 22 months, according to the Federation of Thai Industries. REUTERS

'Pickles' relishes first win of 2025 in Brazil
Australian surfer Molly "Pickles" Picklum won the Vivo Rio Pro in Brazil on Sunday, taking out local star Luana Silva to claim her first win of the year and jump to the top of the world rankings with just two events of the regular season remaining. Californian powerhouse Cole Houshmand also won his first world championship tour event of 2025, beating Griffin Colapinto in the final. The biggest surfer on the world tour at 190cm and 90kg, Houshmand, 24, surfed with speed and power throughout the event and laid down the heaviest turns in the overhead but funky waves at Saquarema Beach. Houshmand picked up a decent left-hander early in the final and belted it three times for a near-perfect 9.40 out of 10 to pile the pressure on Colapinto, his San Clemente neighbour. Colapinto fought back with an 8.23 to go with an earlier 6.17 but had no answer when Houshmand added a 7.5 for a two-wave total of 16.90. "The fans all week, whether they love me or hate me, it's the most passionate people in the world," Houshmand said. "And I love it. I feed off it. We're competing in a stadium here. I looked at the beach, and you can't even see open space. "It's what we dream of and what we live for." Picklum carried her dominant early form in the competition through to the finals, putting together powerful turns and combinations on both left- and right-handers to finish with a two-wave total of 15, the highest of the women's event. 'Before I was going out, I felt really emotional because I was just like, okay, I get another chance to try and get a victory," the 22-year-old said. "I've dreamt so much of winning here in Rio, too. I'm a real energetic person, I love the Brazilian energy, and to get a win this year means so much, for sure." The tour next heads to the right-hand point of Jeffreys Bay in South Africa for the 10th stop on the schedule, before the final regular-season event at the 2024 Paris Olympics venue of Teahupo'o. The top five men and women will then compete in a one-day, winner-takes-all Finals Day in Fiji in late August or early September.
