Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, the reigning triple world champion, has secured pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix. Verstappen will be joined on the front row by McLaren’s Lando Norris, who put in a strong performance to secure second place.
George Russell will start third for Mercedes, after a strong qualifying run. However, there was some drama during qualifying, as McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was initially classified third but was later demoted to seventh for exceeding track limits.
This move allowed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to move up to fourth place on the grid. The Austrian Grand Prix is expected to be a thrilling race, with Verstappen looking to extend his lead in the championship standings.
