Breaking down the weather forecast for the Austrian Grand Prix

Formula One is heading into the 11th race of the 2022 season which will take place in Spielberg, Austria. This Grand Prix takes place on The Red Bull Ring circuit, owned by Red Bull.

Red Bull Racing’s own, Max Verstappen, has dominated this race in recent years winning three of the last four races here.
