The F1 circus rolls into Spielberg this weekend for the Austrian GP, with the Red Bull Ring circuit poised to host the third Sprint race of the 2024 season following China and Miami.

This format, which was tweaked this year, throws a curveball at teams and drivers, condensing practice sessions into just one sixty-minute window before they hurtle into Sprint qualifying later in the afternoon.

Adding another layer of intrigue is the potential for variable weather conditions. Spielberg's forecast hints at the possibility of rain showers, which could lead to thrilling battles throughout the weekend.

Now, let's take a look at the practice time and how you can catch all the action from Spielberg.
