The Englishman approaches and then passes, Sainz complains of difficulty with the brakes and is now under attack from Hamilton.

A minute of Spielberg magic. Norris makes a splendid overtake on Verstappen, who responds with a fearsome maneuver. Max returns to the lead and in that moment of chaos Oscar Piastri also entered, who is now in second place. The gaps are minimal.

After a complicated start, the Englishman has got within a step of Verstappen and is stalking him, followed closely by Piastri. It will be a fight in Austria.

Verstappen maintains first position. Norris starts badly, Piastri attacks him. Sainz passes Russel and is fourth. Leclerc unleashed, gains three positions in a few corners and is seventh.

One extra lap, one more formation lap and one less lap for the Sprint Race. After the green flag the traffic lights didn’t come on, it wasn’t clear why this aborted start. Departure is postponed for a few minutes.

Just 15 minutes left until the Sprint Race. The mini-race can naturally be followed on Sky, subscribers will be able to do so, but also free-to-air on TV8, channel 8 of digital terrestrial. Streaming possible with Sky Go and NOW.

The Sprint Race has been part of Formula 1 for four seasons now. The format is always the same. The Sprint race is held over 100 km, that is, a third of the mileage of the official races, and lasts about half an hour.

Super Max defines Austria as a home race, and it cannot be otherwise. Verstappen in Spielberg was the fastest ever in the only free practice session, in which he preceded Piastri and the Ferraris of Leclerc and Sainz.

Charles Leclerc’s Sprint Qualifying ended in tenth place as he was unable to set a timed time also because his Ferrari suddenly turned off. The Monegasque had a strong outburst on the radio, perhaps the anti-stall has started, but there are no certainties. These are his words to Sky: “I don’t know what happened, I was in the pit lane and the anti-stall kicked in, and then everything went off.”

The Austrian GP is one of the drivers’ favourites, it is raced on high ground at over 600 meters above sea level. The track is 4,318 meters long. It’s not a short circuit, but it’s very fast. The lap was just over a minute, with 1.05 Verstappen achieved Sprint pole. It starts uphill, there are uphills and downhills. The track is tiring for the engine and brakes. Ten curves, seven to the right.

Max Verstappen will start from pole position in the Sprint Race, scheduled for today at 12. Lando Norris will also be on the front row, driving the McLaren which now seems to be on the same level as Red Bull. Second row for Piastri and Russell. Sainz fifth, Leclerc tenth.

A very busy day today in Spielberg and for Formula 1 fans. Because in Austria at 12 o’clock the Sprint Race will take place, which will last about half an hour. Then it will be the turn of the Qualifying, which will start at 16 o’clock. Sky will broadcast everything live on channels 201 (Sky Sport Uno) and 207 (Sky Sport Formula 1). Live broadcast of both the Sprint Race and the Qualifying on TV8. Streaming possible with Sky Go, NOW and tv8.it.
