Buckle in for an electrifying qualifying session in Austria that had us watching 'til the very last corner!For more F1® videos, visit https://www.Formula1.co...

Qualifying highlights from the official F1 YouTube. Events of note include:

  • Lots of track limits violations, and many of the stewarding decisions around them taking too long to be delivered, leading to confusion about the leaderboard.
  • Q1 spin at turn 1 from Bottas red-flagged the session temporarily.
  • Q2 sees Perez fail to advance after getting all three fast laps in Q2 deleted for track limits. This is now the 4th consecutive race that Perez has failed to advance to Q3 and qualify in the top-ten, while teammate Verstappen has taken pole at each of those 4 races in the same car.
  • Q3 saw Norris pull a P4 out of a hat. Maybe those McLaren upgrades are working after all.
  • Two hours after the session ended, Verstappen was called to meet the stewards for potentially impeding Magnusson, putting Max’s pole result at risk. Max was cleared though, and his classification at the front of the grid remains.

    I’m hoping the new McLaren upgrades translate to race pace and aren’t just one-lap wonders.

    I hope the Ferraris have good and sustainable race pace and capitalize on their grid positions, but I’m ready to be disappointed again.
