As part of the sprint weekend format, qualifying for the Austrian GP will take place on Friday after just a single practice session.
The grid for the sprint race will be decided by a separate qualifying shootout that will take place on Saturday morning.
The results of the sprint race will have no impact on the grand prix itself, unlike in previous years. The drivers will line up on the grid for the main race based on their fastest times from Friday qualifying.
What time does qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix start?
Qualifying for the Austrian GP will begin at 5pm local time (+1 GMT) at the Red Bull Ring.
