It's finally another race week and that means we can get ready for the first Grand Prix of 2020. The Formula 1 season starts with the Austrian Grand Prix and see here what time you have to turn on!

It's race week again

After a long break, Formula 1 finally returns to television. The last race was held on 1 December, because after the winter tests in Barcelona there was no race in 2020. The Australian Grand Prix was cancelled at the last minute, so the fans soon had to wait half a year for the next race after Abu Dhabi.

That race will be held in Austria, at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. Big favourite there is Max Verstappen, who won the last two races on the circuit with Red Bull Racing. In addition, the Red Bull seemed to have come out of the winter break well during the winter tests, with Mercedes perhaps still as a light favourite.

Austrian Grand Prix

In Austria the normal times that we are used to from a European Grand Prix are kept. The first free practice starts at 10:00, with the second free practice at 14:00. On Saturday the third free practice is at 11:00 and we see the qualification at 14:00. The lights for the start of the race go out on Sunday at 14:10, after which the drivers have two hours to complete the 71 laps.

All sessions of Formula 1 can of course be followed again this weekend on GPblog.com with a live report of the session in our live blog and of course the summaries and reactions after the session.
