The Austrian GP, the ninth round of the year to be raced over 71 laps on the Spielberg Red Bull Ring circuit, will start at 10 am (Argentina time) and will be broadcast on Star Action.
In the same scenario, Verstappen won the Styrian Grand Prix last Sunday, which represented his fourth victory in 2021.
Verstappen set his best lap at the Spielberg city circuit and outscored Briton Lando Norris (McLaren), who managed to blend into the Red Bull cars to start from the front row.
In third place on the starting grid was the Mexican Sergio "Checo" Pérez and further back were the steering wheels of the Mercedes team: the multiple British champion Lewis Hamilton -fourth- and the Finnish Valtteri Bottas -fifth-.
From sixth to tenth place were ordered: Frenchman Pierre Gasly and Japanese Yuki Tsunoda, both from AlphaTauri, German Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin), British George Russell (Williams) and Canadian Lance Stroll (Aston Martin).
The two Ferrari units were at the gates of the "top ten": the Spanish Carlos Sainz was eleventh and the Monegasque Chales Leclerc, twelfth.
