SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) – Lewis Hamilton pushed past Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg on the final lap to win the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The two touched and Formula One championship leader Rosberg ended up losing his front wing to drop back to fourth.

“He made a mistake into Turn 1, went wide, I had an opportunity and I got a run into him,” Hamilton said. “I left a lot of room, but he locked up and crashed into me. He was in my blind spot, I don’t really know what happened.”

“I think he made he had a problem with his brakes but I am here to win, that’s all,” he said.

Max Verstappen in a Red Bull was second and Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari was third.
