Austrian GP F1 Main Race: Where to Watch, Timings, Live Stream & Weather Forecast

After the Styrian Grand Prix, all the attention turns towards round 9 of the season with the Austrian GP. Red Bull Ring will host the back-to-back Grand Prix, just as it did in 2020.

Max Verstappen won the last race at a dry Red Bull Ring single-handedly, leading every lap of the race to claim his 14th career win. But this time around conditions won’t be similar as rain could spice up the whole main race. There’s a 33% rain probability during the race.

Rain makes it difficult for the drivers to maneuver their cars at the 4.326 km-long (2.688 mi) Red Bull Ring that comprises of only 10 corners.

While the maximum temperature will reach 21 degrees Celsius or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum would be 17 or 62, respectively. The Austrian Grand Prix main race will begin on Sunday, July 27, at 3:00 PM local time.
