#2 A top 3 for Bottas
It was a strong performance from Valtteri Bottas throughout Friday.
Trending
He finished runner-up to his teammate Lewis Hamilton in both practice sessions helping the team show an early dominant display to their rivals ahead of qualifying and race day.
Bottas knows what it takes to win at the Red Bull Ring as he did so at last year's race sealing his second ever F1 race victory.
The Finnish driver may have some challenges behind as the rivals of Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen have so far been the third fastest out of the pack.
It may seem okay to claim that Bottas will be defending Hamilton's leading position throughout Sunday's race if everything goes to plan in qualifying.
