Charles Leclerc, Ferrari SF21, Sergio Perez, Red Bull Racing RB16B, and Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren MCL35M

Max Verstappen topped both practice sessions on Friday in the run-up to Red Bull's home race, although Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton could have been quicker in FP2 had his fastest lap time not been deleted for a track limits infringement.

After Friday's running, Hamilton said Red Bull would be "hard to beat" in Austria, stressing that the Milton Keynes-based outfit could extend its advantage when it turns up its engine to full power in qualifying.

There were some surprise finishers in the top half of the timesheets, with McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo finishing second to Verstappen, and Alpine duo Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso ending up third and fifth respectively, sandwiching Hamilton's Mercedes.

Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas were classified ninth and 12th respectively.

What time does qualifying for the Styrian Grand Prix start?
