Race week is once again upon us, as F1 heads to Austria for round 11 of the 2025 world championship.

This weekend marks Red Bull's home race, with the teams taking to the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, where support for four-time world champion Max Verstappen will be clear to see.

George Russell can expect a tough crowd in Austria after weeks of controversy between the two drivers, started by Verstappen's move on the Brit at the Spanish GP, where he appeared to intentionally drive into Russell's Mercedes.

That has sparked a war of words between the two drivers and teams, but it has also left Verstappen on 11 penalty points, meaning he needs just one more to trigger an automatic one-race ban from the sport.

The first of those 11 points were accumulated at the 2024 Austrian GP, in an incident with Lando Norris, meaning those first two points will be wiped from his record after this weekend's action.

Whether or not the tightrope the Dutchman is walking will impact his driving style in Austria remains to be seen, but bad weather conditions would make it more difficult for him and his competitors to keep it clean around the circuit.

So, what is the weather looking like for the weekend?

Austrian Grand Prix weather forecast

Sunday, June 29 - Race

Sunday's race day will be the hottest day temperature-wise, and it's looking like temperatures in excess of 30 degrees Celsius by lights out for the Austrian GP at 3pm local time. This will feel more like 33 degrees Celsius, making for a rather sweaty and difficult race for the drivers.

Humidity will be sat at over 30 per cent with minimal cloud cover, while wind speeds will remain low for the race, meaning there will be no late surprises for drivers as they head down into turn one.

There is currently a zero per cent chance of rain forecast for Sunday's grand prix.
