2017 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX Verstappen said, “At Turn Seven I tried to be a little too aggressive with the throttle and lost the rear. In terms of race pace, we can’t keep up with Mercedes and Ferrari but with a good strategy you’ll never know.” Despite stopping in the final minute of the session, Grosjean did enough to claim seventh place on the timing screens, ahead of the Force India pair of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon who were eighth and ninth respectively, followed by Carlos Sainz in the Toro Rosso who rounded out the top ten.
