Max Verstappen was quickest in the only practice session at the Austrian Grand Prix despite causing a red flag.
Championship leader Verstappen stopped on track halfway through the session due to a sensor issue with his engine but rolled back down the hill on the main straight and was pushed back to the garage.
He came back onto the track just a few minutes later and went on to top the timing sheets by 0.276s from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Carlos Sainz was fourth, with Lewis Hamilton in fifth but the Mercedes driver’s best lap was on the hards and set much earlier in the session.
Hamilton was only 0.569s off Verstappen’s leading pace, with Esteban Ocon, Lance Stroll, George Russell, Yuki Tsunoda and Fernando Alonso rounding out the top 10.
