Overview
- The Austrian Grand Prix runs from 26–28 June at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg with the traditional weekend format of two Friday practice sessions, a final practice and qualifying on Saturday, and the 71‑lap race on Sunday.
- Organisers and media published the full session times for local and UK viewers with practice and qualifying slots confirmed and race start times listed for broadcasters.
- Live coverage plans name Sky Sports F1 as the live rights holder in the UK, Channel 4 as the free highlights provider, and Apple TV as the platform carrying F1 coverage in the United States.
- Lewis Hamilton’s win in Barcelona has cut Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s lead to 41 points and left George Russell within striking distance, making the weekend an important chance for challengers to tighten the championship race.
- The Red Bull Ring is one of the shortest circuits on the calendar with three long straights and technical corners, and a hot, mostly dry forecast for race day around 31–33°C is likely to increase tyre wear and influence race strategy.
