The dark clouds were threatening but it stayed dry in Austria, much like last week in France. A lot of unexpected things happened in regard to the starting grid tomorrow, including a five-place penalty for Charles Leclerc for needing a gearbox change, as well as Romain Grosjean out-qualifying a Red Bull car.
