Formula 1: 2024 Austrian Grand Prix qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
The second Formula 1 race of a three-week stretch with no off weekends is the Austrian Grand Prix, which is scheduled to take place at the Red Bull Ring this Sunday.
This race is the 11th race of a record-breaking 24 on the 2024 schedule, a schedule which features two additional tripleheaders to conclude the season.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen, a five-time winner at the 10-turn, 2.683-mile (4.318-kilometer) Red Bull Ring road course in Spielberg, Styria, Austria, is the reigning winner of this 71-lap race. The three-time reigning world champion also won the 24-lap sprint race at the track in 2022, 2023, and now 2024 as well.
Verstappen has won three of the four most recent races at the Red Bull Ring, all from the pole position, though only two of those three races were classified as the Austrian Grand Prix. One of the two races at the venue in 2021 was the Styrian Grand Prix.
The only race during that stretch the Dutchman did not win was in 2022, when he started from pole but finished behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Neither one of Verstappen's first two wins at the track in 2018 and 2019 came from pole. In fact, his 2018 win is still the most recent Austrian Grand Prix victory for anybody who did not start on the front row.
