Following a successful season opener in Spielberg, Formula 1 will make a second visit to the Austrian venue this weekend.
Mercedes is the favourite for pole position once again, having locked out the front row of the grid last weekend - although Lewis Hamilton was later demoted to fourth after being found guilty of ignoring yellow flags on his flying lap.
Red Bull is expected to be Mercedes' closest challenger, while both Racing Point and McLaren will be eyeing a top-five starting position.

Weather forecast for qualifying
Rain hit the track for the first time on Saturday morning and it is expected to return at various points through the day. This could cause either the postponement or cancellation of both Saturday's Free Practice 3 and Qualifying
What happens if rain cancels qualifying?
If qualifying is postponed due to the weather, F1 will try to reschedule it on Sunday morning. If the weather is still not suitable, drivers' fastest times from Free Practice 2 will be used to set the grid. This would see Verstappen starting from pole position, with Bottas lining up in second place.
