Max Verstappen was the favourite to start the race weekend in Austria, but in the final minutes of qualifying, it looked as though Ferrari would take the front row. Yet it was Verstappen who took pole at the last minute, sealing a much-discussed qualifying session. Naturally, the internet also wanted to say something about the session.
It wasn't just the last two minutes of qualifying that set tongues wagging, but also the two Mercedes drivers. Both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell slid off the track and ended up in the wall, leaving Toto Wolff with a sour face. The Mercedes team boss is always a hit on the internet, as the qualifying session in Austria showed once again.
The spectators present also provided the necessary discussion. As in Silverstone, the misfortunes of Verstappen were applauded, the same happened when Hamilton made a slide in Austria. The general verdict is: that both sides behave unsportingly and should stop.
