Max Verstappen will start from pole position for this weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix on Red Bull’s home circuit. Max had a terrific lap in Q3 while his championship rival, Lewis Hamilton, struggled with his car and could only manage P3 but will inherit P2 due to a 3-place grid penalty for his teammate Valtteri Bottas.
Bottas will start in P5, just ahead of Sergio Perez, and this lifts McLaren’s Lando Norris who will start in P3.
