Saturday is as always about qualifying in
Formula 1. Just like last week, the drivers will qualify at the
Red Bull Ring, but this time for the
Austrian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen seems to have the upper hand, but Lewis Hamilton will be pushing hard to topple his rival in Austria.
LIVEBLOG: Qualifying Austrian GP
Battle for pole remains exciting
Despite
Formula 1 qualifying at the
Red Bull Ring for the second time in two weekends, that doesn't mean it will be a boring qualifying session. Last week's times were close and Pirelli have brought a compound softer tyre this weekend.
The battle for pole position will probably be between
Red Bull Racing and Mercedes. Last week
Max Verstappen was the fastest man in the Austrian Alps, but
Valtteri Bottas and
Lewis Hamilton followed closely behind the Dutchman.
In qualifying for the Styrian Grand Prix,
George Russell was one of the tastemakers. He managed to get his
Williams, which normally qualifies at the back, to within 0.008 of Q3. Can the young Briton improve on this feat in Austria?
