2026 F1 Austrian Grand Prix: Full qualifying results
Full qualifying results from qualifying at the 2026 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix
George Russell has taken a controversial pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver denied Ferrari a one-two after appearing only to lift through a section of double-waved yellow flags following a crash for Max Verstappen.
However, no further action was taken after the only single yellows were shown on the screens, despite the flags and boards showing otherwise.
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are second and third, with Kimi Antonelli - who completely bailed on his lap due to the double-waved yellows - is fourth.
Despite his crash, Verstappen will go from fifth place.
The full results from qualifying are here.
