Max Verstappen's engineers faced a race against time after his engine cut-out late in FP3. Christian Horner, Red Bull boss, has confirmed he will feature in qualifying after they have fixed the problem.
Horner told Sky Sports Verstappen had a turbo inlet failure which has since been fixed.
The Dutchman has plenty of home fans who have made the journey across to Austria this weekend. When he made his first appearance on track today, flares were set off, and a standing ovation was given by those dressed in orange.
It's unclear how well Red Bull will perform during qualifying. They have been given more power from Renault this weekend, but continue to struggle.
Daniel Ricciardo was 0.800 behind eventual session winner Sebastian Vettel. Their home track isn't giving them any favours as they have reportedly lost almost a second on the straights.
When Horner was talking to Sky Sports, Red Bull engineers were putting the finishing touches to the repair job on the car.
