Max Verstappen stormed to pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix, whilst title rivals Mercedes could only manage P4 and P5. Valtteri Bottas is currently starting the race from fifth, but Mercedes' day could get worse. 

Update 

No further action for Valtteri Bottas following his meeting with the stewards. 

Reported to the stewards 

The stewards want to speak to Bottas after an alleged breach of Article 27.4 of the Formula 1 regulations. This is relating to a slow entry to the final two turns on the circuit. Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel has also been called to the stewards for a similar incident with Fernando Alonso. 

Carlos Sainz has also been called to the stewards for a similar incident.
