The McLaren driver’s exceptional qualifying effort saw him edge out Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who will line up alongside him on the front row.Norris’s teammate Oscar Piastri secured third place on the grid, though the Australian was denied the opportunity to challenge for pole after a spin for Pierre Gasly caused a yellow flag at the start of his lap. Max Verstappen will start from seventh position after being caught up in the same yellow flag as Piastri.Lando Norris took a commanding pole on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring Getty Speaking after securing pole position, Norris expressed his satisfaction with the performance. “It was a good lap, that’s for sure. I guess it was just by little bit by little. I knew there were a few places that if I could just get it right, I still had quite a bit more time – and I did exactly that,” he said.”I did what I planned to do and when I plan to do something and it goes right, it normally goes very, very well. Very happy, a good day and it’s been a good weekend for me so far.”
