Provisional starting grid for Austria | Pole for Norris, Verstappen and Russell disappointed

Following a spectacular qualifying in Spielberg, the provisional starting grid for the Austrian Grand Prix is now revealed. Read here where the drivers will initially start on Sunday.

After a dominant pole lap, Lando Norris will start the Austrian Grand Prix from the first position. The Brit managed to place the rest of the field at a remarkable half a second distance. Charles Leclerc impressed with a second place after a difficult first half of the season.

Oscar Piastri fell short against his teammate, Lando Norris. The Australian will start the race from third position and has some work to do on Sunday. Lewis Hamilton also had a strong session after a somewhat difficult season. The Brit finished in fourth place.

After his victory in Canada, the fifth place might be a bit disappointing for George Russell. In contrast, Liam Lawson qualified ahead of Max Verstappen in P6. The Dutchman was unable to complete his second fast lap due to a yellow flag resulting in P7. Gabriel Bortoleto, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, and Pierre Gasly complete the top ten.
