F1 LIVE | Russell wins Austrian GP, Verstappen fends off Antonelli for P2 - Follow reactions here!

George Russell starts on pole position after the controversial ending to qualifying on Saturday. Charles Leclerc looked to be on pole after Max Verstappen crashed out, but Russell went on to set a quicker lap time despite slowing down for a single yellow flag. Lewis Hamilton lines up on Row 2 alongside championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who had significantly slowed down on his final qualifying lap after erroneously believing that the double yellows had been waved.

Red Bull Raxing arrive at their home race with their biggest upgrade package of the season to date, and will hope for big things despite Verstappen lining up in P5 and Isack Hadjar in P8. Ferrari continue to show promise after their recent upgrades and will believe they can challenge Mercedes for victory with Leclerc and Hamilton both in contention. McLaren look competitive, but recurring teething issues with their car mean they start in P6 and P7 and a race victory looks unlikely for the reigning champions.

With that said, who are you backing to take victory in Austria?

Max Verstappen holds a key advantage going into the Austrian Grand Prix, after Pirelli revealed the tyre allocations and tyre strategies ahead of today's race. Verstappen has one extra set of medium tyres available to him than the McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari drivers. Both Verstappen and his teammate Isack Hadjar, who lines up eighth, both having two sets of new mediums available, compared to the one that each of their main rivals possess.

The Dutchman, like his main competitors, also has two sets of new hard tyres available to him. None of the top four teams have any new sets of soft tyres available for Sunday's Grand Prix. Verstappen's extra set of mediums offers him a different strategy option than that of any of his rivals except his teammate. It also could have a part to play in any safety car situation if he can pit onto fresh mediums.

Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli anticipates a two-stop, or even three-stop, race at the Austrian Grand Prix. A medium-hard-hard approach appears to be the most conventional strategy, though the two Red Bulls could approach a medium-hard-medium strategy, meaning they could have the upper-hand in terms of pace towards the end of the race, unless they wear out their tyres too quickly.
