Practice sets the reference for the weekend, but it is the weakest of the three signals.

Read the lap counts above alongside the order, then check the qualifying and race results to see how much of it carried over.
The circuit
Red Bull Ring
Spielberg, Austria
The Red Bull Ring is short, simple and set in the Styrian hills, with a lap time so brief that the entire field can be covered by a couple of seconds. Its simplicity is deceptive: the elevation change is severe and the margins are tiny.
