McLaren remained on top in Austrian GP final practice, with Lando Norris narrowly ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri once again.
Norris posted a session-best 1m04.324s, just 0.118s clear of Piastri, as the duo continued their strong form from FP2.
Piastri had a brief off at Turn 9 but recovered without damage, while Max Verstappen was third for Red Bull despite a late spin and early complaints about the car’s balance.
Ferrari showed improvement with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton fourth and fifth, while George Russell led a Mercedes six–seven with Kimi Antonelli.
Lance Stroll, Yuki Tsunoda, and Gabriel Bortoleto rounded out the top ten, with the Sauber rookie looking to make his first Q3 appearance later today.
