What channel is F1 Austrian Grand Prix on today? TV schedule, start time for 2024 race

Today sees the 11th race on the jam-packed 2024 Formula One calendar begin, as the Austrian Grand Prix at the home circuit of the vastly successful Red Bull racing team gets up and running from the aptly-named Red Bull Ring.

The second of seven races in a row to take place in Europe, this year's Austrian Grand Prix comes hot on the heels of a nail-biting encounter in Barcelona last weekend, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen edging Lando Norris of McLaren by little over two seconds to record his seventh win of the season.

Like the long straights and lightning-fast chicanes of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the Red Bull Ring has several flat-out sections and looks similar to an upside-down 'g' from above. It's a track which the current two-time World Constructors' Championship winners pride themselves on, with Verstappen expected to continue his winning run.

Just like in Canada the previous weekend though, Verstappen is being chased down hard by the British trio of Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, who have finished in the second, third and fourth positions in both races as they look to close down the Dutchman's 56-point lead at the top of the World Drivers' Championship.
