Austrian GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

AUSTRIAN GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Valtteri Bottas will start the Austrian Grand Prix from pole position while team-mate, Hamilton endures his 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for an unscheduled gearbox change. He will start from 8th. Kevin Magnussen suffered from a suspension failure in Q1 and was unable to go out in Q2 despite his time being enough to get him in. Pascal Wehrlein will be starting from the pit-lane following an engine change post-qualifying

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
