11:08: Norris jumps to P1 with a 1:04.268. Leclerc then pumps in a solid lap that is good for P2, splitting the McLaren duo. Verstappen’s lap is good for P6, behind both McLarens, both Ferraris, and Russell who is in fifth.

Norris' F1 world championship bid was dealt a major setback a fortnight ago when he ran into the back of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri. But the British driver has been in excellent form at the Red Bull Ring, topping all of the practice sessions he has competed in, before landing the 12th pole of his career.
