The Austrian Grand Prix is scheduled for 26-28 June at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, with the 71-lap race due to start at 14:00 BST on Sunday. BBC commentary is listed for BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, and the BBC Sport website and app.
The weekend arrives after Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari victory, achieved at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. He shared that podium with George Russell of Mercedes and McLaren’s Lando Norris, while Kimi Antonelli’s retirement helped reduce Hamilton’s gap to the championship leader to 41 points.
Practice begins on Friday with sessions at 12:30 and 16:00 BST, followed by final practice at 11:30 and qualifying at 15:00 on Saturday. The source also notes that smart-speaker access is available for BBC radio coverage, and that the Chequered Flag post-race show is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and YouTube.
Weather could become part of the story, with Spielberg forecast to be sunny and very hot across the weekend, reaching around 32-33C. Editors should take care to present all listed session times as BST, with the race also noted as 15:00 local time for audiences outside the UK.
