The race weekend in Austria has gone perfectly for world champion Verstappen so far. After winning the sprint race, the Dutchman is also the big favorite for the main race on Sunday.

Alongside the seven-time GP season winner, who already won in Spielberg last year, Lando Norris is on the front row of the grid. The Briton in the McLaren was already four tenths off the pace.

Team Sauber drivers Valtteri Bottas from Finland and Zhou Guanyu from China will start the eleventh Grand Prix of the year from 18th and 20th on the grid respectively.
