Max Verstappen and the McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have enjoyed a strong start to the weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
The trio locked out the top three points in both sprint qualifying and the sprint itself at the Austrian Grand Prix - but will they be able to continue that form during the main portion of the trip the Styrian hills?
Mercedes and Ferrari have so far formed a complete two-team gaggle in behind, with the second Red Bull of Sergio Perez at the rear of the leading group.
With the full 10 points-paying positions available during the grand prix, whoever can reach Q3 will go some way to determining who ends the weekend best of the rest.
It was Alpine in Barcelona, and during sprint qualifying - but will that form continue or will Aston Martin, Haas or RB re-assert themselves in the top 10 fight?
