SPIELBERG, Austria (Reuters) -Lando Norris won the Austrian Grand Prix and revived his Formula One title bid after fending off championship-leading McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri under race-long pressure on Sunday.

The Briton's third victory of the season, all from pole position, cut Australian Piastri's Formula One lead from 22 to 15 points after 11 of 24 rounds, with the two locked in an increasingly private title battle.
