Max Verstappen tops the timesheets in Austria

Max Verstappen overcame an engine failure to put his Red Bull at the top of the time charts in practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.

Prior to qualifying at the Red Bull Ring later on Friday, Verstappen finished 0.276 seconds clear of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari.

Lando Norris set the quickest opening sector before running through the gravel to scupper his sole hot lap.
