F1 start time: Austrian GP 2025 schedule and how to watch

F1 next heads to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix and round 11 of the 2025 season.
Oscar Piastri extended his lead in the world championship last time out in Canada despite a fourth-place finish, with his teammate Lando Norris retiring late on after a collision between the two McLaren drivers. The gap at the top of the standings is 22 points.
George Russell claimed Mercedes's first victory of 2025 in Montreal, beating arch rival Max Verstappen to first place while Kimi Antonelli picked up his first podium in F1.
It was another troubling weekend for Ferrari, however, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton off the pace. The Scuderia will be eyeing improvement as F1 returns to Europe this weekend.

Furness 'didn't want to hang on and hate the game'

Rachel Furness stood in the changing room and said a few words in front of her Northern Ireland team-mates as she fought back the decision to retire had not come overnight, but that did not make the moment any less oversized shirts and paying to play, to breaking records and making history on the biggest stage, she had seen it all in a career that had spanned 20 in the season, Furness had been in line for a Northern Ireland recall before she picked up an injury which ruled her out until the new was throughout that period when retirement crossed her mind."I thought it might have been my body telling me it had enough," Furness told BBC Sport NI."I'm happy with what I have achieved in the game and I didn't want to hang on and hate the game, so it's the perfect time to step away." After announcing her retirement, Furness jumped on a plane and went on holiday for a week. It not only gave her a chance to reflect, but celebrate a career in which she had achieved so much. From a teenager in a re-formed national team, Furness would become her country's record goalscorer and win 95 caps. She played a key role as Northern Ireland qualified for a major tournament for the first time at the Euros in 2022, and even assisted Julie Nelson's famous goal against admits she almost "downplays" her achievements but, after working with a leadership coach, she has realised "it is something to shout about"."I'm so proud that I've got that record. There was blood, sweat and tears to score that many goals for Northern Ireland, in a team that traditionally doesn't score that many goals. "Every one one of those 95 caps was special in a different way and every one of them has a story attached to it." 'I never thought I'd get that moment' A standout message from her speech was leaving the Northern Ireland shirt in a better place than she found it, and that was certainly the case. Her passion, as was so often evident on the pitch, was clear for all to Furness made her debut as a teenager in 2005, Northern Ireland's senior team had just been re-formed, the players had to pay to play and their shirts were oversized hand-me-downs from the men. "We were always the underdogs. We were budget girls who fought for each other, and what a 20 years it has been with the transition that has happened with coaching and the tournaments. "Alfie (Wylie) paved the way, then with Kenny (Shiels) it was doing what we thought was the impossible, and now Tanya (Oxtoby, the current manager) is leading the new generation. "I can step aside happy knowing we are going in the right direction. "We've still so much to fight for and just because I'm retired doesn't mean I'll stop fighting for what I think we need to compete." Despite her achievements, those final moments with her team-mates in a changing room in Bosnia-Herzegovina may never have happened at all. After Euro 2022, Furness had stepped away from playing for her country to focus on her mental health - something she later opened up about in an interview with BBC Sport. She returned to the fold the following year, but injuries limited her involvement. A final call-up came for May's Nations League matches, and while she did not get any minutes in those fixtures, her experience off the pitch helped guide a young squad to a League A promotion play-off."As a competitor, you are always disappointed when you don't get on, but for me it was the bigger picture of being in camp, being around the girls and having an input off the pitch."It was me able to say goodbye and I never thought I'd be able to do that on my terms. I'm fit and I'm healthy, and I never thought I'd be able to retire and it was in my own hands." 'A little girl's dream came true' Furness didn't only get a fitting end with her country, but also with Newcastle United - the club she had supported since she was a little girl. Her playing career had taken her across the WSL, at clubs such as Sunderland, Reading, Tottenham, Liverpool and Bristol it was the north east of England where her heart was calling, and she signed a one-year contract with Newcastle, who had been promoted to the Championship. As Furness says, it was a "full-circle moment"."My dream was always to walk out at St James' Park and to do that in front of 38,000 people this season was a little girl's dream come true."Early in the season, when she picked up the injury that swayed her towards retirement, it did not look like it would be a fairytale ending. But after recovering, she played a key role at the end of the season and she scored in her final home match and captained the side the following week in her final game."I've not retired sitting on the bench, I've retired on a high playing for the team I support, to the point where people have questioned why I've done it when I've still so much to give. "I would have bought the shirt and paid someone to play, so I feel very lucky and fortunate that I got to wear that shirt and got paid to do it." 'I'm big on being happy' Furness is someone who lives and breathes football. Her passion for the game remains, and now she has hung up her boots she intends to give something back."I'm hoping to go into coaching and stay in the game in some capacity. "I've got a few opportunities. I'm starting again with such knowledge and experience behind me, and such confidence in what I can give."Furness is excited for the future, and no matter what the next chapter brings, her priority is to remain happy and healthy."Life's short so if I'm not enjoying it then I'll find something I do enjoy."I'm big on being happy and mentally being in a good place, which I am at the moment. "We'll see what opportunities come across, and whatever it'll be, there will be a smile on my face and I'll be happy with the decisions that I make."

Key Tottenham detail revealed as Fabio Paratici's worldwide ban nears end

Fabio Paratici has a consultancy contract with Tottenham Hotspur that runs to the end of August, meaning the club are under no pressure to hand him a new staff role despite the fact his worldwide ban is nearing an end. New head coach Thomas Frank did not mention Paratici, who can apply for British citizenship next summer, when discussing the people he anticipated working closely alongside at Tottenham in his first interview as head coach last week. Frank picked out chairman Daniel Levy, chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and technical director Johan Lange, but Telegraph Sport understands that Paratici will continue to play an active role under the terms of his consultancy contract. Paratici resigned from his job as managing director of football in April 2023 after being banned from working within football for his role in alleged false accounting at his former club Juventus, although that has not stopped him acting as a contracted consultant for Tottenham. Paratici's worldwide football ban is due to expire on July 20, but Spurs do not immediately need to decide on a staff position for him given his contract as a consultant is understood to run to the end of August, with the summer transfer window shutting on Sep 1. There remains a possibility that Paratici will eventually return to a full-time role. He could alternatively extend his consultancy contract and there is confidence that a civil trial he is part of will not affect a decision either way. Lange survived the Tottenham cull that saw former head coach Ange Postecoglou and three members of his staff sacked, along with chief football officer Scott Munn, and the Dane was vital in the appointment of Frank who he is an old friend and colleague of. Despite the appointment of Lange in October 2023, Paratici has remained an active and visible figure around Tottenham with the Italian attending games. Paratici is understood to be keen to make a swift return to a full-time job in football once his ban ends and is thought to have prioritised staying in England over moving back to Italy or heading to Saudi Arabia. The 52-year-old can apply for British citizenship from June next year. It remains to be seen whether the long-term destination of Paratici has a bearing on the future of his 16-year-old son Lorenzo, who is a highly-rated youth footballer currently at Sampdoria. Referencing his working relationship with Levy, Venkatesham and Lange, Frank said: 'Of course, it's not just me. I think it's very important to say 'yes, the head coach is an important person', but if I don't have good people around me, it's impossible. You can't do anything alone, in my opinion. 'If you want to do something quick, you can go alone. If you want to do something big or achieve something big, you go together. So, it's definitely about doing things together – me, the staff, the players. 'I think alignment is key – from top to bottom. Of course it starts from Daniel, Vinai, Johan, and me – and the more the four of us can be aligned, just like a unit, an unbreakable unit, the stronger we'll be. 'There'll be ups and downs – right now, it's a fairytale. Everyone's happy, the sun is shining, it's fantastic. 'We haven't played one game yet. Hopefully we'll win a lot. We'll work very hard every single day to make sure we create as many magic moments for the fans and put them together and at the end of the season we'll have had a very good season.'

Red Bull chief Christian Horner fires dig at F1 rivals as Ferrari stance clear

Christian Horner has confessed that respect among the current crop of team principals isn't what is was when he began as he ruled out the prospect of him swapping Red Bull for Ferrari Christian Horner admits that respect among his fellow team bosses is "a little lacking these days" having entered Formula 1 when trailblazers like Ron Dennis and Frank Williams were still around. The Red Bull boss got his job back in 2005, which was the team's first year, and rubbed shoulders in the paddock with the icons who ran McLaren and Williams. Ferrari were then led by Jean Todt, leading to an all star cast. ‌ Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone was the man running affairs but nowadays and landscape has changed dramatically with Horner the only man still present from what some may describe as the glory days of the sport. ‌ Now Horner's rivalry with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff are well documented, especially during the 2021 world championship fight. This year, with McLaren a force again, their CEO Zak Brown has traded verbals with Horner as they go head to head. The Red Bull chief admits things are different now with teams led by management figures, rather than individuals who were owners, and the dynamic has suffered as a result. READ MORE: Max Verstappen sparks disagreement between Nico Rosberg and Toto Wolff as theory emerges He told PlanetF1: 'You had Ron Dennis running McLaren, Frank Williams at Williams, Jean Todt at Ferrari, and Flavio Briatore running Renault. Eddie Jordan was still around when I first started, and they were big personalities and big characters. Yes, there were always disagreements, but there was a commonality of agreeing on what was right for the business, and what was right for the sport, because they were all relatively entrepreneurial. 'Whereas, nowadays, you look around the room and, save for a few, it's largely a bunch of managers, as opposed to perhaps that entrepreneurial spirit that existed previously. There were always rivalries; I mean, Jean and Ron never particularly saw eye-to-eye, but there was always respect that, sometimes, I think is a little lacking these days.' The sport has evolved with any friction highlighted by Netflix in the Drive To Survive series, which has taken the sport to new heights. In recent years it has been a platform that highlighted Red Bull's dominance with Max Verstappen claiming four straight titles. Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari have all tried in vain to chase down the Austrian outfit. Ferrari's last title dates back to 2007 when Kimi Raikkonen bought home the title and they don't look like ending their drought this year with Fred Vasseur in charge. The storied Italian outfit have been linked with a move for Horner, whose CV boasts eight drivers' titles since they last ruled the sport. However the Red Bull boss has put to bed the idea of any switch. He said: 'There are so many rumours, I'm not going anywhere. I'm fully committed to Red Bull. We've got so much good stuff coming through the pipeline. We're on the verge of launching our own engine for 2026, which has been a massive project and undertaking. Of course, it's always flattering to be associated with other teams, particularly teams like Ferrari. But no, I'm not going anywhere."
