Mercedes enter qualifying as the favourites for Austrian Grand Prix pole, with either Kimi Antonelli or George Russell having topped every practice session.
Antonelli was quickest in both sessions on Friday, only for Russell to finally show some speed to go fastest in final practice.
Just 0.038s split the Mercedes pair, while Lewis Hamilton showcased the potential of Ferrari's upgraded power unit was just over one-tenth adrift.
Ferrari had been disappointing up until Hamilton's strong lap at the end of third practice, raising questions as to whether he can take the fight to Mercedes for pole. Can he topple his former team?
