Formula 1 is set to return to the scenic Red Bull Ring in Austria for this weekend’s 2025 Austrian Grand Prix. The event, which marks one of the shortest but fastest circuits on the calendar, promises plenty of action as drivers battle for top spot.
McLaren’s Lando Norris will look to make amends for a crash out last time in Canada, while Mercedes driver George Russell hopes to prove that his win in Canada was not a one-off. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is under pressure after being spotted wearing a new crash helmet, and Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are facing mounting pressure from team boss Fred Vasseur.
The 2025 Austrian Grand Prix schedule includes practice sessions on Friday (June 27) and Saturday (June 28), with qualifying taking place on Saturday. The main event will take place on Sunday (June 29). For those watching in the UK, the race can be caught on Sky Sports F1 or streaming services like NowTV, while US viewers can watch on ESPN and FuboTV.
Here’s a rundown of the current drivers’ standings: Oscar Piastri leads with 198 points, followed by Lando Norris (176), Max Verstappen (155), George Russell (136), Charles Leclerc (104), Lewis Hamilton (79), and Andrea Kimi Antonelli (63). In the constructors’ standings, McLaren tops the list with 374 points, ahead of Mercedes (199), Ferrari (183), Red Bull (162), and Williams (55).
The event marks a significant milestone for Formula 1, as it has been held at this circuit since its inception in 1964. With Carlos Sainz setting the lap record in 2020, drivers will be looking to challenge this time around.
