The Red Bull Ring's undulating layout doesn't offer a true long straight but that doesn't mean cars aren't fast around the Spielberg hills.
Lewis Hamilton topped the readings with a speed of 328.1 km/h while Sebastian Vettel was about 3 km/h slower in a straight line.
At the other end of the spectrum, as is often the case, the McLaren duo lingers with about a 13 km/h deficit to Hamilton's Mercedes.
It's interesting to note that Stoffel Vandoorne, using Honda's new 'Spec-3' engine, was a tad slower than team mate Fernando Alonso, a difference which could also be justified by downforce settings.
