Max Verstappen took pole position ahead of the Sprint in a dramatic Friday evening qualifying session – with both Mercedes drivers crashing out – at the Red ...

And this time for the other Mercedes driver – Russell walking away from this one – who spun and crashed at the final corner to pause proceedings with two-and-a-half minutes on the clock. Leclerc and Verstappen improved, the former 0.087s ahead of the latter, while Hamilton was third by a margin of 0.188s to keep Sainz fourth. But of course very happy with pole; but I also know that tomorrow and Sunday, you can get the points. Tsunoda got tail-happy at Turn 1 and his frustration was audible as he took a provisional P14 for the Sprint – with Norris last having had three laps struck off. With five minutes remaining, Bottas was the driver at risk in P10 with Red Bull’s Perez 0.139s behind having gone wide at Turn 9, and Norris having had two lap times deleted thanks to separate excursions at Turn 1 and Turn 4 to sit last. Head here to see how you can catch the action on F1 TV. It definitely brings a smile on my face and I hope we can make it a great weekend." Max Verstappen: "It was a very long wait between the two runs and that’s never great, once you’re in the rhythm, it’s nice to just keep on going. He walked away, but will start a provisional 10th for the Sprint. Neither Aston Martin progressed to the next session either, Vettel 20th with a deleted lap time while Stroll fared better in P17. Mercedes’s Hamilton topped the charts early in Q2, his team mate Russell third, while Verstappen split the pair, 0.033s off the pace. Alex Albon took 12th for Williams ahead of Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas in P13, while Lando Norris was 15th for McLaren having had numerous Q2 laps delete for exceeding track limits.

McLaren endured a tough Friday in Austria that ended with Lando Norris qualifying 15th and Daniel Ricciardo 16th for the Sprint – mechanical issues to blame ...

Mclaren are just six points ahead of Alpine before the Sprint, which pays out points for the top-eight finishers. I have the confidence in the car when things are working to be in Q3 but just the engine issue this morning, lost a lot of laps, and they were low-fuel laps – so Q1 was my first feeling of low-fuel, higher grip. So, yes, try to just be an adult in this situation.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen narrowly saw off the two Ferraris in Friday qualifying of Formula 1's Austrian Grand Prix sprint weekend.

— Formula 1 (@F1)July 8, 2022 He had set no competitive time and was therefore last in Q3. — Formula 1 (@F1)July 8, 2022 — Formula 1 (@F1)July 8, 2022 Potentially hampered by his limited mileage in FP1 – and with an older engine having been fitted to his McLaren – Norris never managed to get a clean lap in Q2, his final attempt unravelling after he had a minor Turn 4 lock-up, caught the gravel at Turn 6 and then had the lap erased anyway due to a track limits infringement. Gasly’s team-mate Yuki Tsunoda had been the quicker AlphaTauri driver in Q1 but had to settle for 14th, his final attempt to make Q3 going awry immediately with a slide through Turn 1. Ocon’s team-mate Fernando Alonso was slower in Q3 than in the previous two segments and had to settle for ninth, with Ocon and he split by the Haas duo of Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher. The fact this was announced as a post-session investigation rather than being a straight laptime deletion suggested it may have been missed originally and may have been a lap that secured his participation in Q3, to begin with. The Monegasque trailed Verstappen’s time by two tenths after the first two sectors, but jumped out ahead by a tenth – with Carlos Sainz briefly backing up a provisional Ferrari 1-2, only for Verstappen to respond with a 1m04.984s. With the red flag back out, Russell climbed out of his Mercedes and crossed the track to enter the pitlane – this action was immediately placed under investigation by the stewards as an apparent case of “entering the track without permission”. At the time of that particular red flag, with 5m29s left on the clock, Verstappen led Leclerc by just under a tenth – the Monegasque deeply irritated to have encountered none other than Hamilton coming out of the penultimate corner. Lewis Hamilton was two tenths up on Mercedes team-mate George Russell in both Q1 and Q2 and looking like a potential contender for the front row, but lost the rear through the Turn 7 left-hander, unable to catch his W13 and crunching its front right against the barriers.

With only one practice hour on Friday, there is a limited amount of data to go on so this feature will look a little different to normal – but there’s still plenty to dig into... The hard is the most consistent, crossing over with the soft around Lap 26 and the medium at Lap 40. Mercedes are giving away around 0.1s to Ferrari and just a bit less to Red Bull on the straights, but they hold the advantage over the entire field in the medium speed corners. It is then that the medium becomes the faster tyre – and by the end of the 24-lap race, it’s five seconds faster, making it the quickest strategy. When breaking down how Red Bull and Ferrari compare, our data shows that Red Bull have a slender advantage in the slow-speed corners, with Ferrari having an even smaller edge in the medium turns. It’s in the high-speed stuff that the F1-75 extends its advantage to nearly 0.1s – and there’s very little in it when it comes to straight-line speed.

Zhou Guanyu was 14th, with Alex Albon in the upgraded Williams 15th and the Haas duo of Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen, who will start the Sprint inside the top-seven, 16th and 18th respectively. Lance Stroll was the leading Aston Martin in 11th, ahead of AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and Sebastian Vettel, who will start the F1 Sprint 20th and last. Carlos Sainz gave Ferrari fans plenty to smile about as he set an impressive pace in the second and final practice session for the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, with his team mate Charles Leclerc second at the Red Bull Ring.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won the Sprint Qualifying race in Austria, ahead of the two Ferraris to complete the podium.
