    Yuki Tsunoda was the only Red Bull to finish the Austrian Grand Prix after Max Verstappen was knocked out of the race.

    The four-time World Champion had climbed up to P6 after the first corner before being spun around by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli which forced him to retire in the opening lap.

    Tsunoda, meanwhile, began the race P18 and at one stage managed to climb up to P10, with hopes of securing points for the team in Verstappen's absence.

    Damage to his front wing forced a pit stop that saw him tumble down the order, and a collision with Alpine's Franco Colapinto saw him handed a 10-second time penalty.

    He served the penalty in the pits late in the race and finished in last place of the cars that finished, with four retirements during the race itself.

    All in all, it was a disappointing race for Red Bull, who walk away with zero points from either driver and move forward seeking answers ahead of the British Grand Prix next weekend at Silverstone.
