Austrian GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

Time for our Re-Cap of yesterday's wild Qualifying session. Things were definitely different this time around, and it was neither Mercedes AMG Petronas drivers on Pole.

So, who did get Pole Position? Felipe Massa of Williams Martini Racing. Not only that, but his team-mate, Valtteri Bottas, secured second on the grid.

If you're new to F1 or not quite sure how the Qualifying Sessions work, go ahead and take a look at our article from the Qualifying session in Canada, where we explain the rules and how it works. It's pretty simple, 3 rounds, limited time on the clock and 6 slowest of the first teo rounds start on the grid in their respective places. Last round, the final 10 battle it out for Pole Position, also known as the very front of the grid. 

Before I show you how the grid will look for today's race, lets go over some penalties. Sergio Perez had an unfortunate 5-place-grid-penalty from Canada as did Max Chilton, although Max recieved a 3-place-grid-penalty.

Another thing to note is, a lot of times during this Qualifying session didn't count, as drivers were running over the Pit Entry line, even after it was revised and fixed up. So after all the penalties and deleted laps, this is how your Austrian GP Grid looks!
