Austrian Grand Prix 2025: Start time, grid positions, how to watch race and weather forecast today

Championship leader Piastri managed to continue and finish fourth, with George Russell turning his impressive pole into a wire-to-wire win – his first of the season – on a terrific day for Mercedes at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in which rookie Kimi Antonelli also grabbed his first podium behind Max Verstappen.

Norris has admitted his need to stop making so many mistakes and headed to Austria with little margin for error, though he made a superb start at the home of Red Bull by leading in practice before beating Charles Leclerc and Piastri to pole.

The 2025 Austrian Grand Prix takes place today on Sunday, June 29 at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Styria, where Russell took a surprise win last year following a collision between Norris and Verstappen.

The race is due to start at 2pm BST this afternoon, which is 3pm local time in Austria.

The first two practice sessions were both held on Friday afternoon, with a third following on Saturday morning.

Qualifying was on Saturday afternoon, followed by the race at 2pm on Sunday.
