Austrian Grand Prix: Where to Watch, Live Stream & Timings for This F1 Race?

Max Verstappen continued to dominate at the Styrian Grand Prix to clinch his fourth F1 race victory of the season. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, the drivers of the ever-dominant Mercedes AMG, suddenly looked like minnows against the home team.

However, the Stuttgart outfit do have a second shot at proving their worth later this week. F1 will go racing at the Red Bull Ring yet again to round off the first triple-header of the season.

But how far is it plausible to anticipate a comeback from Mercedes this time around?

Well, before nosing into how the weekend might play out, take a look at when and where the fans could view the sessions. F1 kicks off its first session of the weekend on Friday at 11:30 local time.
