Finland’s Valtteri Bottas has put Mercedes on pole position for the season-opening Austrian Formula One Grand Prix with six times world champion teammate Lewis Hamilton alongside on the front row.
The front row lockout on Saturday was a record-equalling 65th for champions Mercedes.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, winner of the past two Austrian Grands Prix, qualified third with McLaren’s Lando Norris starting fourth.
