George Russell has taken pole position for the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, but is under investigation for taking it under double yellow flags.
The Brit stormed to top spot at the very end of Q3, but Max Verstappen’s crash just ahead of him brought out the flags, ending his hopes of taking pole.
Charles Leclerc was second, with Lewis Hamilton third.
