Bottas beats Hamilton to pole as Mercedes crushes rivals
Valtteri Bottas claimed pole position for Formula 1’s season-opening Austrian Grand Prix as Mercedes crushed its rivals at the Red Bull Ring. Having finished 1-2 through all three practice sessions Mercedes was the firm favourite for top spot but the three-part qualifying hour merely underlined the speed of the W11. Lewis Hamilton had fronted the three sessions but when it came to Q3 Bottas turned the tables by clocking a time of 1:02.939s in the opening push laps. Bottas’ hopes of finding an improvement went astray when he ran wide exiting Turn 4 and spun through the gravel and grass.
