• Bottas' scored his pole position at the Austrian GP and the 12th of his careerValtteri Bottas upstaged his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton with a sizzling display to claim pole position ahead of the Briton for Sunday's delayed season-opening Austrian Grand Prix.
The Finnish driver outpaced the six-time champion with a best lap in qualifying in one minute and 2.939 seconds and then survived an 'off' into the gravel and a spin on his final lap to emerge 0.012 seconds clear of Hamilton. It was Bottas' third pole at the Austrian Grand Prix and the 12th of his career, a feat that followed Hamilton's cleansweep of the three practice sessions on Friday and Saturday morning."The qualifying shakes! It's something special when you push the car to the limit and I've been waiting for a long time - we seem to be in our own league."
