This coming weekend will be another big one for motor sports. In addition to another 24 hour race (Le Mans last weekend, Nurburgring this weekend) Formula 1 is back at on the track. The teams are back in Europe for the Austria Grand Prix on 22 June. The Austrian circuit is a 4.325 kilometer course with nine turns. The race will consist of 71 laps, covering a total distance of 307.020 kilometers.There is no doubt that Lewis Hamilton will be pushing again hard at this one. Despite his four wins in a row at the start of this season, he failed to take first in the last two races. In Monaco, a month ago, he was beat out by his team mate Nico Rosberg and had to settle for second. During the last race, the Canadian GP, vehicle problems forced him to retire from the race early.
The action starts on Friday, 20 June with two practices, followed by practice 3 and qualifying on Saturday afternoon. The race kicks off on Sunday 22 June at 2pm Austrian time (8 am for those on the US East Coast). NBC Sports will broadcast the practice, qualifying and pre-race shows on Friday and Saturday. The race will air on NBC Sporsts on Saturday morning.
