George Russell<\/a> starts Sunday\u2019s Austrian grand prix from pole after a chaotic qualifying finish at the Red Bull Ring.<\/p>\n

The Mercedes driver avoided an investigation after completing his fastest lap under yellow flags following Max Verstappen’s<\/a>\u00a0crash, while Charles Leclerc<\/a> secured second ahead of Lewis Hamilton<\/a>. Championship leader\u00a0Kimi Antonelli<\/a> starts fourth after losing his chance to improve when the session was disrupted.<\/p>\n

With hot, dry weather expected and the FIA\u2019s Heat Hazard still in effect, tyre life, cooling and driver management could all play a role in the race – that is if the field manages to make it cleanly through an often chaotic first lap in Spielberg.<\/p>\n

Sunday is expected to stay hot, sunny and dry at the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian grand prix.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0FIA\u2019s Heat Hazard still in effect<\/a>, cooling and tyre life will be key concerns for teams across the race. The high temperatures could also make the grand prix more physically demanding for drivers, especially if they spend long periods in traffic.<\/p>\n

Rain is not expected to play a major role, so the main weather factor should be heat rather than disruption.<\/p>\n
