F1 2024 Austrian Grand Prix Qualifying: start times, schedule and TV

Formula 1 returns for the Austrian Grand Prix qualifying today (Saturday May 29) with the championship battle intensifying.

This weekend's race at the Red Bull Ring marks the 11th round of the season, and the second event in a European triple header.

Max Verstappen extended his lead at the top of the standings to a commanding 69 points after his victory in Barcelona, with his closest challenger now being Lando Norris of McLaren. The Brit, who has claimed an emotional, long-awaited maiden win in Miami, sits in second place, just two points ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

The battle for the remaining positions in the championship remains fierce as well. Carlos Sainz, who delivered a stunning win for the Scuderia in the third race of the season in Australia, currently occupies fourth place with 116 points, while Sergio Perez rounds out the top five with 111 points for Red Bull.

With 14 races remaining on the calendar, Verstappen will undoubtedly be looking to extend his dominance in Austria in a quest to secure his fourth consecutive championship title and propel the energy drink giants towards their third constructors' crown in a row.
