2023 F1 Austrian GP session timings and preview

Red Bull Racing goes to his home race on the back of eight consecutive wins, with the team yet to be beaten in the 2023 season.

Although its rivals have brought numerous updates to recent races, Red Bull is expected to continue its winning streak to Spielberg, with reigning champion Max Verstappen the favourite to take the top honours on Sunday.

The Austrian GP will mark the return of the sprint race format, with a short 30-minute contest to be held on Saturday.
