Gasly reflects on pivotal Spielberg spin that changed the course of qualifying

The Frenchman spun 720 degrees coming off the final corner in the late stages of qualifying. Earlier in the weekend, both Isack Hadjar and Max Verstappen spun at the same spot, as it took another victim in Gasly.

Due to his spin, yellow flags interrupted the crucial final runs for certain drivers, including Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen also abandoned his final qualifying run. The four-time world champion starts Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix from seventh place on the grid.

"I think I was pushing a lot and I made a mistake," Gasly explained to GPblog and other media present in the paddock.

"I went on the power, tried to turn the car, so yeah, not happy about it." The Frenchman will start the race from 10th place after reaching Q3.

There were still some positives for the Frenchman, however. "On the other side, still happy about the rest of the qualifying because after all the practices we didn't look in a very strong place and I must say Q1 to Q2 we really managed to put some strong laps together.

The Austrian Grand Prix starts in just a few hours, and second-placed starter Charles Leclerc explained that he will do everything to take Ferrari's first victory of 2025. Find out what he said below.
