LONDON: Formula One leader Max Verstappen was almost half a second quicker than team mate Sergio Perez as he led a Red Bull one-two in the pole shootout for Saturday’s standalone sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix. The double world champion lapped his team’s home Red Bull Ring with a fastest time of one minute 04.440 seconds on a drying track to complete a qualifying double after securing pole on Friday for Sunday’s main grand prix. Perez, a disappointing 15th on Friday, is Verstappen’s closest title rival but a massive 69 points behind after eight races so far this season.
