It is qualifying day at the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix. Friday’s pair of practice sessions offered a slight variation on a somewhat consistent theme from this season: A strong start from McLaren. While Lando Norris sat out the first practice session in favor of young Alex Dunne they still put both cars in the top four in FP1,

World championship leader Oscar Piastri was third fastest, with McLaren team-mate Lando Norris watching on from the pitwall as Irishman Alex Dunne participated in his first F1 FP1 session. Dunne sits top of the F2 driver standings and impressed on his F1 debut, ending the session in fourth and just 0.069s behind Piastri.
