What happened: Williams locked out the front row in qualifying at the 2014 Austrian Grand Prix, with Felipe Massa taking pole and Valtteri Bottas alongside him in second. The result marked a high point for the team at Formula 1's return to the Red Bull Ring after an 11-year absence. The 1-2 came during a season in which Williams had surged back toward the front of the grid.

Why it matters: The qualifying result was one of the standout days of Williams' 2014 resurgence, a campaign that saw the team return to genuine competitiveness after several lean years. Front-row lockouts are rare for any squad outside the very top teams, which is why the day is remembered as a milestone. It underscored how far the team had climbed in a single season.

What to watch: Formula 1 returns to the Red Bull Ring this weekend for the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix, with attention on whether the current grid order holds at the short, fast circuit.
