Spielberg (Austria): Former world champions Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen were not hurt in a big crash in Sunday’s Formula One Austrian Grand Prix where Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg won.
Raikkonen’s Ferrari swerved into the side of Alonso’s McLaren on the first lap and the impact lifted up Alonso’s car which landed on top of the Ferrari, as per reported.
Luckily, both drivers walked away unhurt.
In the meantime, Rosberg got past his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton from the start to win the Austrian GP for a second successive season to close the gap in the F1 championship.
While Hamilton was trying to overtake Rosberg, he was given a five-second penalty after infringing a white lane on a pit exit.
Rosberg stayed in command at the front to capture his third race of the season and the 11th of his career, moving to within 10 points of Hamilton in the standings.
Hamilton has led the drivers’ standings with 169 points. German Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari stands in third on 120.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
