Where Max Verstappen took pole position again, it was not Mercedes but Lando Norris who took P2 in Austria.

A strong performance from the young Brit, who was therefore very happy with his result. "This feels epic. It was cool. After last week and race I wanted to take the next step, and now I'm actually taking two. Fantastic."

Good situation for the race

Norris also knows that this is a good result for Sunday's race. "It puts us in a good position for tomorrow. It gives us a good feeling and puts us in a fantastic position tomorrow to get a good result." Finally, he also spoke about the fans in orange.

"Everyone in orange supporting McLaren and not Max of course. No, really fantastic to see the fans back again. I missed them."
