## Resource

George Russell storms to pole for the Austrian GP, his second straight front-row lock, after a tense yellow-flag drama involving Max Verstappen—cleared but now a hot topic. Mercedes dominated practice with Russell and Antonelli flying, Hamilton just a tenth behind. McLaren showed speed without upgrades. Red Bull’s qualifying woes—anti-stall issues and Verstappen’s late spin—left them down the order. Aston Martin and Cadillac remain挣扎, while Ocon’s Q1 escape for Haas could be pivotal for his future. Race day looms: Russell leads, Ferrari right behind, Verstappen starting lower—tire strategy could decide it all. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
