The 2024 Formula One season continues its European swing at the heart of the continent to round out June. Teams return to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix, and there is no shortage of storylines bubbling under the surface.
Max Verstappen remains firmly on course for a fourth world title with Red Bull, but after such an imperious 2023 campaign, the Dutchman has seen his control over the rest of the field slowly eroded to a point despite continuing to lead from the front by large.
With hopes he can dominate his rivals once more looking increasingly more fragile with each passing week, hopes are high that Ferrari and McLaren - fast proving themselves the dark horses at the top of the leaderboard - can scratch away at their rivals.
Throw in Red Bull’s continued off-field sagas and the slowly emerging threat of a Mercedes team that could pull off a few shocks, especially as Lewis Hamilton seeks to end his time with the Silver Arrows on a high note if possible.
It’s all promising to be another terrific weekend of action, so how can you ensure you see every minute of action on the track? GOAL guides you through where to watch the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and the race itself.
