Finland’s Valtteri Bottas put Mercedes on pole position for the season-opening Austrian Formula One Grand Prix with six times world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton alongside on the front row.

The front row lockout was a record-equalling 65th for champions Mercedes.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, winner of the past two Austrian Grands Prix, qualified third with McLaren’s Lando Norris starting fourth.
