F1 Austrian Grand Prix 2025: Race date, start time, qualifying and full TV schedule

After spanning the globe in the most nonsensical path for the last two months, F1 is back in Europe to stay until September.

The Red Bull Ring plays host to the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend, June 27-29.

The familiar course is one of the shortest on the calendar. Last year's race was won by George Russell after Max Verstappen and Lando Norris took each other out of contention in the closing laps.

What is the weekend format for the Austrian Grand Prix?

Austria brings the traditional F1 weekend format -- the next sprint weekend isn't until late-July in Belgium.

This means Friday will feature Full Practice 1 and Full Practice 2, Full Practice 3 and Qualifying on Saturday, and the 71-lap grand prix on Sunday.
