"I had a blister like you've never seen," a delighted and relieved Grosjean told Haas after coming home fourth.
Today's result is Sauber's first double points finish since the 2015 Chinese Grand Prix, where Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson finished 8th and 10th.
The top three have now headed off the track and are going to the podium.
"I tried to get some [places] back at the start but was left with nowhere to go and it was the same at Turn 3," Vettel laments. "It was damage limitation for us."
Raikkonen says "the car came very good but we just ran out of the laps - we took it easy too long".
"It's amazing to win in a Red Bull at the Red Bull Ring," he says.
Here's there now though and talking to Mark Webber.
Verstappen was so excited he forgot to park up on the start/finish straight with the Ferrari drivers.
Verstappen also has a brief hug with his father Jos.
Verstappen even bounced over the barrier to hug all of his crew.
Verstappen climbs out of his car and salutes the crowd before jumping into his Red Bull mechanics.
Leclerc passed Ericsson for ninth right at the very end of the race.
Remember this is Red Bull's first win at the Red Bull Ring since it returned to the F1 calendar in 2014.

If Ferrari is going to swap its cars around, Raikkonen will have to back off very dramatically.
