Max Verstappen grabs Austria pole, calls it a "good statement" for Red Bull

Verstappen, who won the sprint race on Saturday, qualified ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris to take his first pole in four races. The reigning Formula One world champion was in fine form throughout the session, and will now go for a record-extending fifth Austrian Grand Prix victory. Verstappen has recorded the most podium finishes (six) and the most fastest laps (four) at the Austrian GP and has now also taken the outright most pole positions (four).
