What happened in Austrian Grand Prix Q3?
Q3 was delayed as marshals swept the track at Turn 6.
On the first runs, Verstappen set provisional pole with 1m04.426s, with Norris 0.361s in arrears but well clear of the others.
On the final runs, Verstappen improved to 1m04.314s to take his fourth pole position for the Austrian GP in a row.
Norris retained second from Piastri’s challenge but was 0.404s off pole. Piastri lost his third-fastest lap due to exceeding track limits.

That means Russell will start third ahead of Sainz and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) who is under investigation by stewards for knocking over his rear jack as he left the garage.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc went off at Turn 9, bouncing across the grass and damaging his floor, and could only manage sixth. Piastri slumped to seventh due to his penalty, which looked marginal.
Sergio Perez (Red Bull), Nico Hulkenberg (Haas) and Esteban Ocon (Alpine) round out the top 10.
