Lando Norris stormed to pole position for the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix as his dominant weekend in Spielberg continued.
The McLaren driver had sat out of FP1 but since then he has led the way in every session and was untouchable in a Q3 session that was tempered by a late yellow flag.
Norris’ blistering pace saw him seal pole with the biggest gap of the season to date, his lap of 1m03.971s more than enough to keep Leclerc behind him – although the Ferrari driver will be delighted to have split the McLarens.
Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start third after a spin for the Alpine of Pierre Gasly ruined the final lap of the McLaren driver, as well as the Red Bull of Max Verstappen – who will start seventh having taken pole position for the past four Austrian Grand Prix.
