Rosberg Hangs Tough to Win Austrian Grand Prix

In a race sponsored by Red Bull and run at the energy drinks company's own venue, both Red Bull and Toro Rosso had hideous days.

(SPIELBERG, Austria ) - Nico Rosberg put Mercedes back on top by scoring his third victory of the year in a barnstorming Grand Prix in Spielberg on Sunday, although Williams duo Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, and then team mate Lewis Hamilton put him under intense pressure throughout.

Bottas eventually came home third behind Hamilton, therefore claiming the first podium of his Formula One career, while Massa held on to fourth ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
