    F1 Austrian Grand Prix: What time and how to watch as title fight between Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen resumes

    Australian Oscar Piastri survived a crash with his teammate in Montreal to reaffirm his position atop the Formula 1 drivers' championship.


    Australian Oscar Piastri survived a crash with his teammate in Montreal to reaffirm his position atop the Formula 1 drivers' championship.

    Lando Norris has a chance to bounce back after that incident a fortnight ago, while Max Verstappen continues his push for a fifth consecutive world title.

    Here is everything you need to know about the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix.

    Title battle resumes after McLaren's Canada contact

    The first major flashpoint between McLaren's world championship battling teammates came in Canada, as Norris ran into Piastri's rear wing.

    The contact, which Norris took the blame for, sent him into the barriers and out of the race, while the Australian survived to claim fourth place.

    Piastri now enjoys a season-high 22-point lead in the drivers' championship.

    Verstappen, four-time defending champion, is 43 points off the championship lead and lurks as a title threat, even in a Red Bull car that has been second to McLaren for much of the season.

    While Piastri has five grand prix wins this season, his teammate had to be consoled after the crash in Canada.

    McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said in the aftermath of their collision that Norris needed to learn from his heartbreak in Montreal.

    "Lando himself will have to show his character to overcome this kind of episode," Stella said

    "Make sure that he only takes the learnings, he only takes what will make him a stronger driver."

    When is the Austrian Grand Prix?

    The Austrian Grand Prix will be held this weekend, from Friday, June 27, to Sunday, June 29.

    The grand prix will begin on Sunday at 11pm AEST.

    ABC Sport will have a live blog of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix from 9pm AEST.

    Here is when the Austrian Grand Prix will begin in each state and territory:

    • 11pm AEST: NSW, Vic, Qld, ACT, Tas
    • 10:30pm ACST: South Australia, Northern Territory

    How can I watch the Austrian Grand Prix?

    Those watching on Foxtel can watch the race on Fox Sports, channel 506.

    You can follow all the action with the ABC Sport live blog, from pre-race drama to the post-race synopsis.

    What do I need to know about the track?

    The Red Bull Ring, in its current form, has long straights and sharp corners, offering several overtaking spots for drivers.

    The first overtaking spot is into turn one, at the end of a DRS zone down the start-finish straight.

    There is a second DRS zone immediately after, which extends up to turn three, potentially the best corner on the circuit to overtake.

    Coming out of turn three, there is another DRS zone down to turn four, which again provides opportunities for overtaking.

    The second half of the lap is free-flowing, with fast corners that require absolute precision from the drivers.

    Fast facts about the Red Bull Ring

    • First grand prix — 1970 (then known as the Österreichring)
    • Number of laps — 71
    • Lap distance — 4,318 metres
    • Race distance — 306.452 kilometres
    • Fastest lap — 1:05.619 Carlos Sainz (2020)
