How can I watch the Austrian GP? F1 timings and TV schedules

Formula 1 returns to the Red Bull Ring for this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen dominated the Styrian Grand Prix from pole position, beating Lewis Hamilton by over 35 seconds to claim his third victory at Red Bull’s home track.

The main variable for this weekend is that Pirelli is bringing softer tyres for the race - C3, C4 and C5, as opposed one step harder for Styria.

Verstappen has a 18-point lead over Hamilton in the drivers’ championship, while Red Bull leads Mercedes by 40 points in the constructors’.
