Austria will serve as the halfway point for the 2025 F1 season. The race is known for its high action drama and driver errors due to track limits. Red Bull Ring is the home race for Red Bull Racing and their driver Max Verstappen has won the race five times.

The Austrian Grand Prix is going to be a crucial race for the season. Many teams are going to bring major performance upgrades to their cars for the Austrian GP. The Austrian Grand Prix schedule is undoubtedly the test of their improvements in the 2025 season. Ferrari are the most notable team to bring new upgrades to their car. Let’s have look at the weekend schedule for the race in 2025!

Austrian Grand Prix Schedule- Qualifying Session

The qualifying session for the upcoming race will take place on Saturday, June 29 for one hour. The qualifying session is going to be divided into three stages. Qualifying in Austria becomes rather chaotic due to the short nature of Red Bull Ring. Every year, multiple drivers have their lap times deleted due to track limit violations. Red Bull Ring becomes a rather difficult race for the stewards due to these track limit violations.

Qualifying will be fast and furious! 🤩
