The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg will be the venue for Formula 1 for the second time within two weeks. We will be accompanying the qualifying from 3 p.m. in the live ticker.
+++ UPDATE +++
Spielberg - It's the second round: Instead of the “Grand Prix of Styria”, the “Grand Prix of Austria” will take place this weekend.
The title is different, the track is the same.
Under normal circumstances, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen should also be the fastest again - or will world champion Lewis Hamilton find the famous tenths this time?
The Briton extended his contract with Mercedes until 2023 on Saturday.
He really wants the eighth world title and has realized that he might need more than one season for that.
Its long-standing dominance is broken, but the World Cup is far from over.
Formula 1 * fans have what they have wanted for years again: an exciting title fight.

In the second practice session, Hamilton set the fastest time, somewhat surprisingly, and is getting into position for qualifying on Saturday.
Sebastian Vettel * was also doing better than last week: he posted the fifth fastest time.
Once again there was excitement about Nikita Mazepin, Mick Schumacher's * team-mate.
Former champion Kimi Raikkonen in the Alfa Romeo felt that he was hindered by the Russian on his last lap and had to avert an impending collision.
The angry Finn then showed the Haas pilot the middle finger and called him an "idiot".
On the other hand, there was only encouragement for an action by Sebastian Vettel, who used the time between the two races in Spielberg to build an insect hotel in the form of a racing car * together with children.
