Lando Norris: Tops Final Austria Practice
Norris set the pace ahead of Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen in the final practice hour of the Austrian Grand Prix, setting the scene for an unpredictable Qualifying session as many struggled to stick to the track limits, Formula1.com reports.
Analysis:
McLaren made it very clear in this final practice for the Austrian GP that they are the team to beat in Sunday's grand prix. Norris would clock a lap of 1:04:324 which was one-tenth better than Piastri for top of the timing sheets. The McLaren star is a good bet to win the pole position and potentially have the inside track on Sunday's battle at the Red Bull Ring.
