F1 Austrian Grand Prix 2023: Race start time, grid positions, weather forecast and how to watch on TV

Max Verstappen is once again the favourite for victory in today’s Austrian Grand Prix.

The weekend has so far been dominated by Red Bull, as has been the case all season, with Verstappen finishing ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez in the sprint race.

There was though some drama, with the Dutchman less than impressed with Perez after he was forced wide.

The two-time F1 world champion edged Charles Leclerc in Friday’s qualifying session too, which decided the grid for Sunday’s race, and so Verstappen is well placed to make it five wins in a row.
