Formula One leader Max Verstappen took pole position for Red Bull's home Austrian Grand Prix on Friday while team mate and closest title rival Sergio Perez had another nightmare and qualified only 15th.
The Mexican had been second fastest in phase two of qualifying, held on Friday because of the sprint weekend format, but had three laps deleted for failing to stay within the track limits at turns nine and 10. "We don't do it on purpose but with these speeds and the high-speed corners it's so hard to judge the white line," said the Dutch driver.Verstappen's fastest time was one minute 04.391 seconds, the double world champion claiming provisional pole with his first effort in the final phase and then going faster to make absolutely sure of pole.
"I managed to put everything that I wanted in that last lap of Q3, very close to Max. Not enough today but overall I don't think we expected to be so close to the Red Bulls so it's a good step forward."
