Lando Norris took a dominant pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix, setting the fastest time of every part of qualifying to roar back from his Canadian Grand Prix disaster.

A yellow flag at the very end of the session, with highlights available to watch from Sky Sports, wrecked Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri's last flying laps, leaving both of them further down the order than their pure pace would have predicted.

Charles Leclerc took a shock second, while Piastri and Lewis Hamilton will share the second row from the start on Sunday – and Racing Bulls star Liam Lawson took a fine sixth position after a season of struggles.

Gabriel Bortoleto had a strong day for the struggling Sauber team, qualifying eighth after cruising through Q1 and Q2, never finishing lower than eighth on the timing sheets.

Meanwhile, Yuki Tsunoda's nightmare season continued with another Q1 elimination, the Red Bull star qualifying just 18th.

The start of the session was delayed somewhat thanks to a chaotic F2 race, which spent some time red flagged after a scary crash, before Q2 was red flagged thanks to a fire on the grass on the edge of the circuit.
