Here, we bring you the key info about race Sunday.

If you’re not normally an early riser at the weekend, you need to make an exception today. Set your alarm clock and head out to the Red Bull Ring. The earlier you arrive, the better your chance of getting a front-row spot at the Styrian Green Carpet (start time 09:00 a.m.) and taking a selfie with your favourite driver.
