It may not have been a huge surprise for Max Verstappen to take pole position for the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix but Lando Norris in a McLaren on the front row may be a bit of a surprise.
Lewis Hamilton and his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, were down in 4th and 5th with another surprise in George Russell who made it to Q3 and out qualified Lance Stroll in an Aston Martin.
