Max Verstappen set the pace in final F1 practice for the Austrian Grand Prix, over 0.2s clear of Oscar Piastri.
It wasn't an entirely smooth session for Verstappen, who caused the only red flag of the session.
Fortunately for him, his car was recovered back to the Red Bull garage which allowed the team to rectify the sensor issue that caused the stoppage.
Lando Norris looked on course to challenge Verstappen for top spot but made a mistake in the middle sector.
Mercedes' strong recent form continued as they ended fifth and eighth - with their best laps coming on the hard tyre.
