NORRIS TARGETS THIRD WIN FROM POLE

Briton recovers from Canada collision to beat leader Piastri; Ferrari revived at Austrian GP

- 

Lando Norris bounced back from his collision in Canada to put McLaren on pole position for the Austrian Formula One Grand Prix on June 28, as championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri qualified third.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc joined Norris on the front row with teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth, raising the Italian team's hopes after a difficult weekend.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen qualified only seventh at his team's home circuit after pulling out of his final flying effort when Alpine's Pierre Gasly spun at the last corner and briefly brought out yellow flags.

Piastri was also forced to bail but had been slower than Norris in both of the first two phases.

Norris, who needs a strong result after a collision with Piastri in Canada two weeks ago, is 22 points behind the Australian in the championship after 10 of 24 races.

"I did what I planned to do and when I plan to do something and it goes right, it normally goes very, very well," said the Briton.

"A good day and it has been a good weekend for me so far, so hopefully we can keep it up."
