SPIELBERG, Austria - Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc stormed to pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday, with last year’s winner Max Verstappen joining him on a front row of 21-year-olds after Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton was demoted for impeding.
That placing, confirmed on a provisional grid published by the governing FIA, took even Hamilton’s Mercedes team by surprise.There was no confusion about the pole, with Leclerc going into the final top 10 shootout as favorite after setting the pace in two of the three practice sessions and the first two phases of qualifying.
Five times champion Hamilton, 36 points ahead of Valtteri Bottas after winning six of eight races this season and the last four, now starts alongside his team mate who moved up to third.“Was a mistake on my behalf and I take full responsibility for it. It wasn’t intentional. Anyway, tomorrow is another day and an opportunity to rise. These things are sent to try us.”The 34-year-old Briton faces a big challenge to extend Mercedes’s run of 10 wins in a row, and eight this season, on Sunday.
The German sat stranded in the garage, mechanics working furiously on the engine after discovering a problem with the air pressure line feeding the power unit. Vettel will start ninth thanks to Kevin Magnussen, who qualified fifth for Haas but collected a five-place drop for an unscheduled gearbox change.

How Gross Is What I Ate For Lunch?Food generally tends to be good, even when it’s bad, because it helps keep you alive. My general philosophy for “cooking” 95 percent of the time is to quickly throw together some combination of carbs, fats, and protein together and call it a beautiful day, one in which my body continues to motor along. My favorite meal? Rice, green peas, and a can of tuna fish (try it). I fully embrace that I have the anarchic food habits and mindset of a five-year-old, or a Silicon Valley tech bro. But lately, doubts have been sown in my mind—is what I eat actually, by the arbitrary standards set by “society,” gross?
