Yellow flags!
Romain Grosjean has come to a stop on the track.
That's it for qualifying, a very anti-climatic end.

They are in a position they are going to qualify in 5th or 6th. It will take a pretty blinding lap from Daniel Ricciardo to get 4th.

Three minutes remaining in Q3. No-one else is joining Verstappen on the track just yet.

Max Verstappen is keen. He's waiting patiently at the pitlane exit for the light to go green. Still about 40 seconds to go, though.
Maybe he just wants to soak up all that applause from the large amount of fans he has here. It's like a home race for him.

Confirmation, then, that Lewis Hamilton will start the race on super-soft tyres.
Meanwhile, a very good session for Romain Grosjean as he gets into the top 10 shootout.
Kevin Magnussen's suspension issue aside, Haas have looked good in Austria. Explains the lack of moaning from Grosjean...
