This weekend's Austrian Grand Prix live streams are a must-watch as all eyes will be on the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after they collided in Canada.
Last time out in the 2025 Formula 1 season, Norris was quick to apologise for colliding with teammate Piastri during the latter stages of the Canadian Grand Prix. Now the British driver will be hoping to close the gap on the Australian after qualifying in pole position for Sunday's race at the Red Bull Ring.
Norris trails his fellow McLaren driver by 22 points in the race for the drivers’ championship but will start two places ahead of Piastri after delivering a sensational lap in red-hot conditions in Spielberg.
Ferrari's Charles LeClerc will start between the two McLarens, while Lewis Hamilton recorded his best qualifying of the year in fourth, ahead of George Russell and Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson. Max Verstappen has to settle for seventh and will face a challenge to claim his fifth victory in Austria.

So, that's how to watch the Canadian Grand Prix and all the race timings sorted. Now here's some F1 Austrian GP FAQs for everything else you want to know about the upcoming race.
Austrian Grand Prix 2025 circuit
The 2025 Austrian Grand Prix takes place over 71 laps of the 4.318-kilometre Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on Sunday, June 29.
One of the most picturesque circuits on the F1 calendar, the Red Bull Ring resembles a toboggan run as it sits in a natural bowl in the mountains of Styria. It's a short track that boasts the quickest lap time of any F1 circuit.
Originally constructed in 1969, the Osterreichring, as it was formerly known, hosted the Austrian GP for 18 consecutive years between 1970 and 1987 before being made shorter and faster by F1 track designer Hermann Tilke in 1995-96.
Formula 1 abandoned the circuit in 2004 and didn't return until 2014, when it was rebuilt by Red Bull Racing founder Dietrich Matershitz, who re-opened it as the Red Bull Ring.
The Austrian Grand Prix starts at 3 p.m. local time and it won't be short of action. The first half of the Red Bull Ring is punctuated by three straights that require raw power; the second half is downhill and features the Rindt right-hander, named in honor of Austria’s first F1 champion.
When is the next race?
The next Formula 1 race after the Austrian GP is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It takes place next week, on Sunday, July 6.
Who won the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix?
There was a surprise winner one year ago when George Russell took full advantage of a late collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris to gain the victory. The Mercedes driver had spent most of the race in third place but was able to sweep past the duo and claim an unexpected win.
Oscar Piastri took P2 ahead of the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz in third, while Verstappen dropped down to fifth and Norris was forced to retire after his collision with the Red Bull driver.
What is the lap record at the Austrian Grand Prix?
Spanish driver Carlos Sainz Jr set the fastest lap time at the Red Bull Ring in 2020. Driving in the McLaren, he posted a time of 1:05.619.
Austrian Grand Prix winners
Dutch driver Max Verstappen holds the record for the most Austrian Grand Prix victories with five. After back-to-back win in 2018 and 2019 he won again in 2021 and 2023.
Switzerland's Jo Siffert and France's Alain Prost each won the Austrian Grand Prix three times. German legend Michael Schumacher finished on the top spot of the podium twice, in 2002 and 2003.
