The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Styria, is the shortest of the year in terms of lap time, with 71 laps taking place on the day.
Lando Norris of McLaren took pole position for the race last year, which he went on to win ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.
It was McLaren's first win in Austria since 2001.
But the grid is different this year, with different storylines heading into the race.
Who is on pole for the Austrian Grand Prix and what is the full grid?
Mercedes driver George Russell took pole during qualifying on Saturday (June 27), but it was not without some controvery.
The stewards noted him for a yellow-flag infringement at the Red Bull Ring’s penultimate corner.
It came after Verstappen had crashed just ahead of Russell and, with the Dutchman’s Red Bull in the barriers.
A single yellow flag deployed to order oncoming drivers to slow down and it appeared as though Charles Leclerc, sitting at the top of the charts, would take pole.
The Monegasque’s mechanics celebrated inside their Ferrari garage.
But Russell shattered their hopes when he burst over the line to topple Leclerc by 0.236 seconds, with Lewis Hamilton third and Russell’s fellow Mercedes driver and title rival Kimi Antonelli in fourth.
Antonelli aborted his last lap erroneously believing the more extreme double yellow flag had been deployed for Verstappen’s accident, which denied him a probable second on the grid.
For a moment, it seemed plausible that the noting of Russell’s infringement would be upgraded to an investigation, only for the stewards to confirm they would take no further action in a major boost to Russell’s stuttering championship chances.
