Max Verstappen was fastest in the only practice session of the Austrian Grand Prix despite causing a red flag.
Championship leader Verstappen stopped on track midway through the session due to a problem with his engine sensor but rolled down the hill on the main straight and was pushed back to the garage.
He returned to the track just a few minutes later and topped the timesheets by 0.276 seconds behind McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Carlos Sainz was fourth, with Lewis Hamilton fifth, but the Mercedes driver’s best lap was on hard tires and was set much earlier in the session.
Hamilton was just 0.569 seconds off Verstappen’s leading pace, with Esteban Ocon, Lance Stroll, George Russell, Yuki Tsunoda and Fernando Alonso completing the top 10.
