Austrian Grand Prix: Times, schedule, how to watch, weather and lap record

The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg plays host to the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix in the second of three consecutive race weeks.

Max Verstappen has returned to winning ways, with back-to-back victories in Montreal and Barcelona. However, a return to form for Mercedes, as well as the consistent performances of the Ferraris and McLarens, have seen pressure put on the Dutchman in both races, leaving the door wide open for any of those six drivers to take home a victory in Styria.
