The rain sets for it ahead of Sunday's Formula 1 competition at the Austrian Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. Saturday's training could not be run, but the qualification could be completed anyway.

There, Mercedes Lewis Hamilton was the fastest, 1.2 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

The result in the qualifying, which was 46 minutes late due to the rain, means Hamilton will start in pole position in Sunday's competition.

- A difficult day. The weather was incredibly difficult for all of us out there and on several occasions you couldn't even see where you were driving ... I love those days, said reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton after the torment.
