Austrian Grand Prix 2022: Race and qualifying start times, how to watch on TV and latest odds

For the first time in several months, it was not a Red Bull that won a race but a Ferrari. Carlos Sainz's victory at the British Grand Prix last week was his first in F1, but that it was him and not team-mate Charles Leclerc means that Max Verstappen's seventh place was not as harshly punished as it might have been. 

The Dutchman still leads the standings: 34 points from team-mate Sergio Perez and 43 from Charles Leclerc. 

The 2022 Austrian Grand Prix runs from Friday July 8 until Sunday July 11. 

The Austrian Grand Prix is a one of three sprint race weekends taking place in the 2022 season which means the sessions and timings are a little unusual. 

First practice starts at 12.30pm BST on Friday July 8 with qualifying (which sets the grid for the sprint race) at 4pm BST the same day. That is the usual one-hour, three-part session. On Saturday there is second practice at 11.30am with the sprint race (which should last around 30 minutes) at 3.30pm. The results of that set the grid for the grand prix on Sunday, which starts at 2pm. 

Sky Sports F1 have near-exclusive live coverage rights in the UK this year and indeed for the next few with their usual excellent team. 

Sky's qualifying coverage on Friday starts at 3.30pm BST. Their sprint race program starts at 2.30pm on Saturday with their race coverage on Sunday 12.30pm.
