A different qualifying session...

Mercedes struggled throughout the qualifying session, but Lewis Hamilton still had enough in the tank to clinch 2nd place. But, Hamilton will start from P4 after he picked up a penalty for an incident with Kimi Raikkonen. Charles Leclerc continued his strong form around the Red Bull Ring to get his second pole position in his Formula 1 career. Sebastian Vettel was left in the garage for Q3 because of a mechanical problem which potentially cost him pole position.
