Last week Max Verstappen dominated at the Red Bull Ring. Not only during the race, but also during qualifying. This week the Dutchman did it again, this time under the cheers of full stands with Orange fans.

"I think Q3 was pretty bad. I'm happy to be first, but not with the way we got it. But to be on pole position here two weekends in a row is very good. Hopefully, we can finish it off tomorrow," Verstappen said just after qualifying.

How will the race differ from last week?

"Obviously this week's tyres are softer than last week's, so it will be more difficult to manage them. But apart from that it's important to focus on our own race and of course, we're going to try to win it. It's just never that straightforward!", the Dutchman concluded, to the cheers of the Dutch fans.
