Dutchman Jos Verstappen salvaged the only point of Oxfordshire's three Formula 1 teams at the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Leafield-based Orange Arrows team driver finished sixth, the only locally-based team driver to score at the A1 Ring.

The race was again dominated by McLaren and Ferrari.

Finland's Kimi Raikkonen, being linked as Rubens Barrichello's replacement at Ferrari, was fourth for Sauber, with Olivier Panis fifth for Brackley-based BAR.

The minor points could be changed if BAR go ahead with an appeal, after seeing a protest that Raikkonen overtook under a warning flag rejected by the stewards.

Eddie Irvine was seventh for Jaguar Racing, while Enstone-based Benetton's Jenson Button retired with a blown engine just ten laps from the finish of a race that saw four cars stall on the grid at the start.

It was a disappointing race for the Grove-based BMW Williams team, especially after an excellent qualifying performance, brilliant starts and having both cars at the front of the field. Both retirements were due to technical problems.

Race winner David Coulthard has been warned not to expect any help in his title tussle with Michael Schumacher just yet.

The 30-year-old Scot moved within four points of the German with 11 races left.
