The Frenchman was overtaken in the first round by Albon. It now ranks sixth.

at 15:18

The safety car departs and the race resumes with Hamilton still the leader.

at 15:17

On the first slowdowns, the Monegasque seems to be the main culprit. He plunged very quickly into turn 3, leaving Vettel no chance.

at 15:14

The two Ferraris are in the pits. Terrible situation for Ferrari. Vettel gives up so much damage. Leclerc left him but it is not certain that he can continue.

at 15:13

Third turn disaster. Vettel has a broken rear spoiler, Leclerc's car seems damaged.

at 15:13

Pressed by Sainz, Verstappen held out

19 degrees and a cloudy sky, the conditions are good for this Grand Prix of Styria. Rain should not normally appear.

at 14:58

Usually confined to the back of the grid, a Williams will finally shine at the heart of the peloton. 12th in qualifying, George Russell will place his car on the 11th row of the starting grid, following the Leclerc penalty. His best performance in qualifying and the best deWilliams in ages. This stable, on sale, has suffered from performance for years when it was still the third strength of the plateau in 2015. A breath of fresh air for all the team.

In the top 5 on Friday dry track, Sergio Perez even slammed the best time in free practice 1, the Racing Points became liquefied as soon as the drops fell. The Mexican will only start 17th and LanceStroll, 12th. Disappointing performance when you know the level of their car. Much the same as the Mercedes, 2019 version, and therefore the world champion. However, this Sunday, the track will be dry and we could witness spectacular increases in the two pink cars.

The McLaren, sixth inquest, will therefore only start 9th this Sunday. Lando Norris was penalized for not respecting a yellow flag during the tests on Friday. Too bad for the one who signed his first podium last weekend. Another pilot penalized: Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque hampered Kvyat in Q2 on Saturday, and the sanction was immediate. Initially 11th on the grid, the Scuderia will start from 14th row. Another penalized driver, Antonio Giovinazzi . The Alfa Romeo driver was forced to change his gearbox. He will start last since Romain Grosjean , sanctioned by the marshals following a late intervention by his mechanics on his car, will start from the pit lane.

at 14:42

Saved by the miraculous second place of Leclerc last weekend, the Scuderia has made modifications (flat bottom, front and rear spoiler) supposed to improve the performance of the red car. No effect at this time. Not on Friday, the Ferraris were not more on Saturday. Eliminated in Q2, Leclerc will start from the 14th row following a penalty of three places after hampering Kvyat in Q2. For Vettel , 10th, the results are not necessarily better. But the most disturbing thing is that Russell (Williams) clearly fought with them on Saturday. Worrisome. In the dry, on Sunday, the Italian brand hopes to recover, but it looks complicated.

at 2:32 p.m.

F1 will see the return of Fernando Alonso (39 at the end of the month) next year. The Spanish driver, double world champion in 2005 and 2006 with Renault, will replace Daniel Ricciardo in one of the brand's diamond buckets. He will evolve alongside Esteban Ocon.

The four (immense) challenges that await Alonso at Renault

Alonso returns to Renault: "It's not age that counts, it's the chronometer"

at 2:27 p.m.

The pilot classification dominated by Valtteri Bottas

The constructor ranking dominated by Mercedes

at 2:18 p.m.

Round 2. Like last week, the pilots meet in Austria, on the Red BullRing. Everything is identical, the layout and the twenty drivers, except the name of the race: Grand Prix of Styria. Name of the region where the circuit is located. Note that the FIA ​​does not allow a Grand Prix to bear the same name twice, hence this change. Note that this will also be the case for Silverstone in August.

at 2:13 p.m.

New chaotic session for Romain Grosjean. Always in the hard with his Haas, the Tricoloren could have done a time. Initially last, the Frenchman will start from the pit lane. For the other two Blues, it's party time. Esteban Ocon (Renault) slammed fifth, well ahead of teammate Ricciardo. A superb performance for the one who is disputing only his second race with the diamond mark. Comfortable in the rain, the Norman shone on Saturday. Same thing for Pierre Gasly , 8th time and finally 7th on the grid with the penalty of Norris. The AlphaTauri held the roll and the French can logically hope for points on Sunday.

at 2:09 p.m.

In treacherous conditions Lewis Hamilton averaged 196.091 kph (121.845 mph) on his pole lap 🤯🤯🤯 @ pirellisport #PirelliHotLaps #AustrianGP pic.twitter.com/UPA963nEkR

A metronome. On Saturday, the six-time world champion signed pole position in sometimes dantesque conditions in the rain. His 89th career, the first this season. Without hesitation, Lewis Hamilton pushed the competition back to more than a second. Verstappen will start alongside him on the first line, but the Dutchman, reputed to be very skilful on wet track, unable to fight with the master. Behind, Carlos Sainz confirms estalent with his third place, his best qualifying session, and ahead of Valtteri Bottas.
