Weather forecast and timetable | 2020 Austrian GP. 2020 Austrian GP weather forecast.

After racing was put on hold because of the coronavirus outbreak, Formula 1 is finally back, as the season will kick off with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, which will take place next weekend.

The health and safety of all involved will continue to be priority number one, which means that the way Formula 1 teams operate in the upcoming races will be very different because of the coronavirus pandemic, starting with Austria’s Red Bull Ring, the first of eight races in 10 weeks, scattered across Europe. In order to go racing safely, a series of measures are being taken to protect the health and safety of the travelling personnel.

2020 Austrian Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Spielberg):

From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, although this time Spielberg will most likely be a straightforward weekend, at least for the race day. Conditions appear excellent ahead of the 2020 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix weekend. The temperature for race day is expected to be around 23-24 degrees, while according to the latest forecast, there is no chance of rain for Saturday and Sunday afternoon. The race day will therefore be warm and will receive abundant sunshine. However, there is a high probability of rain on Friday, meaning that the free practice sessions may be affected by the weather conditions, which would make things a lot more difficult for qualifying and the race, given the limited track time that the teams have had this year.
