Lando Norris seems to be the driver to beat here in Austria this weekend, as the McLaren driver once again went fastest in a practice session, with teammate Piastri and rival Verstappen behind in second and third. The final session was relatively calm, albeit for multiple drivers taking to run-off areas or dipping wheels into the gravel. The yellow flags were only waved once, and briefly, as Isack Hadjar spun his Racing Bulls around before ending up facing the right way and continuing on. Max Verstappen also suffered from a similar incident later on, yet that didn’t stop him from setting the third fastest time of the hour, ahead of Charles Leclerc in fourth and Lewis Hamilton in fifth. George Russell placed only sixth, after initially looking strong in FP1, and his teammate Antonelli was behind in P7. Lance Stroll followed in eighth, while Tsunoda managed to record the ninth-fastest time, and Bortoleto came in tenth for his team Kick Sauber.
