Shock: Ahead of the weekend, very few people would have expected Lewis Hamilton to start from eighth on Sunday's grid. Five of those grid positions can be accounted for by his gearbox penalty, but he also has himself to blame for not maximising the performance of his car and minimising the impact of the grid drop. On his first Q3 run he locked up and ran wide at Turn 3 and on his second he clouted the apex kerb at Turn 1 before a yellow flag ruled out an improvement later in the lap. After the disappointment of Baku, it appears as though Hamilton's bad luck has followed him to Austria, making a strong race performance crucial in order to stop the rot and limit the damage to his championship campaign.
