Max Verstappen will start from pole position at the GP of Austria this afternoon. Just like last weekend, the Dutchman will probably be first through turn 1. Behind him, however, a lot has changed.
Yesterday many drivers had to report for driving too slow in turn 9 or 10. Especially the action of
Sebastian Vettel, who blocked Fernando Alonso in Q2 and prevented the Spaniard from reaching Q3.
The German received a penalty of three places for this.
Valtteri Bottas and
Carlos Sainz, among others, got away well and received no penalty. Hamilton and Bottas will have to get past
Sergio Perez and
Lando Norris to attack Verstappen.
