Ferrari's Formula One leader Sebastian Vettel looks like a good bet for pole position after posting the fastest time in final practice for the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday.
Vettel's time was the fastest lap yet of the Red Bull Ring, with a time of one minute 05.092 seconds on ultrasoft tyres. Hamilton had held the previous record, set on Friday.
Hamilton dominated the first two practice sessions but can start no higher than sixth after his team revealed that his car needed an unscheduled gearbox change, incurring a mandatory five place grid drop.
