The 2014 Austrian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 Grosser Preis Von Österreich 2014) was a Formula One motor race held on 22 June 2014 at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria. It was the eighth round of the 2014 season and marked the 28th running of the Austrian Grand Prix and the 27th time it had been held as a round of the Formula One World Championship. It was the first Austrian Grand Prix held since 2003. The 71-lap race was won by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg after starting from third position.Austrian Grand Prix 2014 results en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/27944480 2020-11-13 His teammate Lewis Hamilton finished second with Valtteri Bottas third for the Williams team.
Felipe Massa started the race from pole position, his first since the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix and the last of his career. Massa had one previous participation in an Austrian Grand Prix, back in 2002, while from the last Austrian Grand Prix to be held before 2014, which was in 2003, only three drivers (Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, and Jenson Button) returned to drive in the 2014 Austrian Grand Prix.
Report

Williams driver Felipe Massa became the first driver other than Hamilton and Rosberg to claim pole position in 2014 with a Q3 lap time of 1:08.759.http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/21/massa-secures-shock-pole-in-austria-at-mercedes-expense/ Massa secures shock pole in Austria at Mercedes' expense Smith Luke NBC Sports 21 June 2014 motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com 21 June 2014 He was joined on the front row by teammate Valtteri Bottas; it was the team's first front row lockout since Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher did so, at the 2003 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.
Hamilton failed to post a time in Q3, ending up ninth on the grid after Sergio Pérez's penalty was applied. On his first flying lap in Q3 – having been 0.4 seconds faster than Bottas' provisional pole time of 1:08.846 through the first two sectors – Hamilton ran wide at the final corner and had his lap time deleted for exceeding track limits. On his second and final lap, Hamilton locked his rear brakes under braking for turn 2 and spun.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114574 Austrian GP: Lewis Hamilton qualifying spin not a car issue Anderson Ben Autosport 21 June 2014 autosport.com 24 February 2015 Sebastian Vettel failed to reach Q3, although his teammate Daniel Ricciardo did.
Race
At the start, Massa led the field into the first corner, with Rosberg passing Bottas, but being repassed the following straight. Hamilton gained five places on the first lap, after passing two cars on the run into the first corner and two further cars heading towards turn 2, before taking another spot from Fernando Alonso at turn 7. As a result, he ended the first lap only one position and 0.9 seconds behind his teammate, despite starting ninth. Sebastian Vettel once again suffered from technical problems, losing drive on the first lap and attempting to retire on lap two. However, his car then regained drive and he was able to continue, albeit a lap down. After damaging his front wing halfway through the race, he later retired from Red Bull Racing's home Grand Prix on lap 34.
At the front, the Mercedes cars were able to pass the Williams cars by stopping earlier and undercutting them during the pitstop phases. Rosberg passed both Williams' during the first stops, and Hamilton took second position during the second round, despite suffering two slow pit stops. Sergio Pérez once again drove a good race with a different tyre strategy, only running the super soft compound for the last 16 laps and successfully challenging Kevin Magnussen for sixth place, despite starting sixteenth following a grid penalty.
For much of the race both Mercedes cars had to manage overheating brake issues. On lap 55 Hamilton was held up by backmarkers, losing around a second. During the final laps, Hamilton was slowly gaining on teammate Rosberg, and despite having lost a total of 1.9 seconds to his teammate through slower pit stops he began the final lap 1.1 seconds behind. However, he was not close enough to his teammate to challenge him and backed off at the end of the lap. Rosberg took the chequered flag for his third win of the season.https://www.kicker.de/gp-von-oesterreich-2014/606705/formel1-rennbericht Mercedes schlägt auf dem Red Bull Ring zurück Olympia-Verlag GmbH 22 June 2014 Kicker 23 June 2014 de Mercedes Strikes Back at the Red Bull Ring
Post-race
As a result of the race, Nico Rosberg extended his championship lead to 29 points, the largest it had been all season.
Lewis Hamilton admitted he was frustrated by his slow pit stops, but said that second was still a "good result" considering his qualifying position.http://www1.skysports.com/f1/report/24181/9357657/slow-pit-stops-cost-lewis-hamilton-in-austrian-gp-as-early-charge-limits-damage Slow pit-stops cost Lewis Hamilton in Austrian GP as early charge limits damage Sky Sports 22 June 2014 24 February 2015
Fernando Alonso, who managed to finish closely behind Felipe Massa in the Williams and with a smaller gap to Mercedes than usual, later described the race as his best of the season so far.http://formula1.ferrari.com/news/austrian-gp-fernando-alonso-my-race-season Austrian GP – Fernando Alonso: "My best race of the season" formula1.ferrari.com 22 June 2014 24 February 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140625174950/http://formula1.ferrari.com/news/austrian-gp-fernando-alonso-my-race-season 25 June 2014
The race was a remarkable one for Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff, who in being a shareholder of both Mercedes and his former team Williams effectively held some ownership of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th placed cars in the race. This achievement was sweetened by it coming at the Austrian's home race.
Valtteri Bottas scored his first career Formula One podium with a P3 finish.
