Round eight of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to Spielberg for the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, from 26-28 June.
Title leader Kimi Antonelli topped Friday practice ahead of the two McLarens of Oscar Piastri and world champion Lando Norris.
Mercedes’ Antonelli is 41 points clear of Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ championship following Hamilton’s victory in Barcelona last time out.
The race in Austria has been declared a heat-hazard race by F1’s governing body the FIA because the temperature is forecast to exceed 31C.
The ruling means drivers can use a cooling kit that flows cooled liquid, such as glycol, through a system of pipes in a fireproof top worn under their overalls.
The cooling kit is not mandatory but any driver who chooses not to use it has to carry 5kg of ballast in their car to ensure he does not have a competitive advantage.
Sunday’s 71-lap grand prix starts at 14:00 BST.
