F1 Austria 2023 qualifying on Friday: Schedules and watch live

After the Canadian Grand Prix, the Formula 1 circus crossed the Atlantic again to resume the European part of the season. This happens with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring. The circuit in the Styrian Mountains has been in a good mood for Max Verstappen for years, although he didn’t win the Grand Prix last year. He did, however, win the sprint race, which is also on the program in Spielberg this year. Due to this second sprint race of the 2023 F1 season, the schedule is in a mess. For example, qualifying will take place on Friday afternoon, after just one hour of training. The result determines the starting grid for Sunday’s Grand Prix, while the grid for Saturday’s sprint race will be drawn up after the special qualifying session on Saturday morning. It also means that the short run is completely separate from the Sunday meeting.
