2023 Austrian Grand Prix

The event was held across the weekend of 30 June – 2 July. It was the ninth round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship, and the 36th running of the Austrian Grand Prix in a World Championship season. The weekend was the second of six in the season to follow the sprint format.{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-formula-1-announces-venues-for-six-f1-sprint-events-across-2023.4tvAAXFGdkoHKE8Onjh8Ya.html|title=Formula 1 announces venues for six F1 Sprint events across 2023 season|website=formula1.com|date=2022-12-07|access-date=2023-03-21|archive-date=7 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207113722/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-formula-1-announces-venues-for-six-f1-sprint-events-across-2023.4tvAAXFGdkoHKE8Onjh8Ya.html|url-status=live}}

McLaren worked to bring improvements to the MCL60, which had shown underwhelming performance in earlier races. Prior to this Grand Prix, Lando Norris' highest finish of the season was a sixth-place finish in the Australian Grand Prix earlier in the year. McLaren was able to prepare half an upgrade package which would be fitted into Norris' car, specifically the sidepods, bodywork, and floor.{{Cite web |last=Coch |first=Mat |date=2023-06-30 |title=No McLaren upgrades for Piastri in Austria |url=https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/06/30/no-mclaren-upgrades-for-piastri-in-austria/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Speedcafe |language=en-US |archive-date=30 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630035056/https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/06/30/no-mclaren-upgrades-for-piastri-in-austria/ |url-status=live }} Teammate Oscar Piastri would receive it at the next race at the British Grand Prix.{{Cite web |last1=Straw |first1=Edd |last2=Mitchell-Malm |first2=Scott |date=2023-06-29 |title=Norris-only McLaren upgrade for Austrian GP breaks cover |url=https://the-race.com/formula-1/mclaren-austrian-gp-upgrade-first-images-norris-piastri/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=The Race |language=en-GB |archive-date=29 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629165226/https://the-race.com/formula-1/mclaren-austrian-gp-upgrade-first-images-norris-piastri/ |url-status=live }}

The tyre rules for sprint shootout were modified, enabling drivers and teams who made it through to SQ3 (the third segment of sprint shooutout) to use any set of soft tyre, whereas they were previously required to use new soft tyres. The change was made after Lando Norris could not run in SQ3 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, due to him exhausting his allocation of soft tyres.{{Efn|Theoretically, Lando Norris could have run intermediate or full wet tyres during the dry SQ3 session.}}{{cite web |last=Cooper |first=Adam |date=29 June 2023 |title=FIA tweaks F1 sprint qualifying tyre rules to avoid inters farce |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-tweaks-f1-sprint-qualifying-tyres-rules-to-avoid-inters-farce/10488947/ |access-date=29 June 2023 |website=Motorsport.com |archive-date=29 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629112048/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-tweaks-f1-sprint-qualifying-tyres-rules-to-avoid-inters-farce/10488947/ |url-status=live }}

Qualifying was held on 30 June 2023 at 17:00 local time (UTC+2) and determined the starting order for the main race.

The first session (Q1) was red-flagged when Valtteri Bottas spun out at turn one; by this point, Max Verstappen topped the session, with Kevin Magnussen second; the former had his best lap time deleted due to a track limits violation; in addition, Pierre Gasly, Zhou Guanyu and Lewis Hamilton all committed track limits violations. Verstappen set the fastest time as Yuki Tsunoda, teammate Nyck de Vries, Zhou, Logan Sargeant, and Magnussen were all eliminated following Q1.{{cite web |date=30 June 2023 |title=Verstappen pips Leclerc to pole position in dramatic Austrian GP qualifying session |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-pips-leclerc-to-pole-position-in-dramatic-austrian-gp-qualifying.6qLuFUQgVjA8cNZyF3eUws |access-date=11 December 2024 |work=Formula1.com}}

As Verstappen started his Q2 (the second segment) lap, he exceeded track limits at turn ten and had his lap time deleted. This allowed Lando Norris to momentarily top the session ahead of Nico Hülkenberg, Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Hamilton. Sergio Pérez commit more track limits violations, denying him a spot in Q3, (the third session) for the fourth consecutive time, as all his lap times in Q2 were deleted for track limits violations. He joined George Russell, Esteban Ocon, Oscar Piastri and Bottas in being eliminated.

Due to this, Alexander Albon appeared in Q3 for the Williams team, going on to qualify tenth. Verstappen took pole, with Charles Leclerc and Sainz making it two Ferraris in the top 3. Lance Stroll in sixth outqualified teammate Alonso in seventh.{{Cite web |last=Kalinauckas |first=Alex |date=30 June 2023 |title=F1 Austrian GP: Verstappen sees off Leclerc for pole by 0.048s |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-sees-off-leclerc-for-pole-by-0048s/10489562/ |website=Autosport |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701000215/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-sees-off-leclerc-for-pole-by-0048s/10489562/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-qualifying-results-max-verstappen-takes-austrian-gp-pole/10489576/ |title=F1 qualifying results: Max Verstappen takes Austrian GP pole |last=Bradley |first=Charles |website=Autosport.com |date=1 July 2023 |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701000214/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-qualifying-results-max-verstappen-takes-austrian-gp-pole/10489576/ |url-status=live }}

The sprint shootout was held on 1 July 2023 at 12:00 local time (UTC+2) and determined the starting order for the Sprint race.

The first session began after a patch of rain around the Red Bull Ring earlier in the morning; as such, the track was cloudy, with no rain forecast over the first 20 minutes of sprint shootout. The track, however, remained wet, so drivers were able to run any compound; Kevin Magnussen and Max Verstappen put on the mediums. The Williams cars of Alexander Albon and Logan Sargeant put on the intermediate tyres. All other cars were on softs. Both Williams cars would later swap for softs. Zhou Guanyu spun and caused a brief yellow flag.{{cite web |date=1 July 2023 |title=Verstappen charges to P1 over Perez and Norris during Sprint Shootout in Austria |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-charges-to-p1-over-perez-and-norris-during-sprint-shootout-in.6lc2wNOjKYh4k9L6cLUu7A |access-date=11 December 2024 |work=Formula1.com}}

Carlos Sainz Jr. suffered a failure of his brake-by-wire system, going into the pit lane with smoke billowing from the back of his Ferrari SF-23. Due to this, he was unable to set a lap time for the majority of the first part until his car was repaired during the closing minutes of the session. His only lap of the session ended up topping the timing sheets for the first session after Lewis Hamilton's time was deleted for track limits violations.

Verstappen, Zhou, Sergio Pérez, Hamilton (who initially topped the session), and Sargeant's first times were deleted for track limits violations. Oscar Piastri was blocked by Charles Leclerc, as the latter went back to the pits. The stewards investigated the incident as Leclerc made it through the next session by 0.1 millisecond. Zhou, Piastri, Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Sargeant were all knocked out and the end of the first part. This is the first time Hamilton got knocked following the first segment of a qualification session since the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.{{Cite web |date=1 July 2023 |title=Shock exit for Hamilton in Austria Sprint Shootout |url=https://racingnews365.com/shock-exit-for-hamilton-in-austria-sprint-shootout |access-date=11 December 2024 |website=RacingNews365.com}} Hamilton's teammate George Russell, having set a time for seventh, reported a hydraulics failure, ruling him out of the rest of qualification. Nico Hülkenberg was the third-fastest behind the Aston Martins of Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso.

In the second session, De Vries and Verstappen had their lap times deleted due to track limits violations, and a replay showed Hülkenberg's car running over a tyre; stewards investigated the unsafe release, although no penalty was awarded. Albon, Pierre Gasly, and the AlphaTauris of Yuki Tsunoda and De Vries joined Russell all out of the session.

Verstappen took the pole position for the sprint, with Pérez allowing the Red Bulls to start 1–2 with the Ferraris fifth (Sainz) and sixth (Leclerc, who was penalised and dropped to ninth after he impeded Piastri earlier). Norris was in third and Hülkenberg fourth as Alonso and Stroll were classified seventh and eighth respectively.{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-beats-perez-to-sprint-shootout-pole/10489949/ |title=F1 Austrian GP: Verstappen beats Perez to sprint shootout pole |last=Kalinauckas |first=Alex |date=1 July 2023 |website=Autosport |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701110128/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-beats-perez-to-sprint-shootout-pole/10489949/ |url-status=live }}

The sprint was held on 1 July 2023 at 16:30 local time (UTC+2).

The sprint started in damp conditions, with all cars starting on the intermediate-wet tyres. Sergio Pérez had two near-miss moments between him and teammate Max Verstappen, leading to Pérez running wide at turn 3 on lap 1, losing positions to Hülkenberg and Sainz, and asking about Verstappen’s actions over team radio. Verstappen would remain the leading car for the rest of the sprint.{{cite web |date=1 July 2023 |title=Verstappen battles back against Perez for victory during frenetic wet-dry Sprint in Austria |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-battles-back-against-perez-for-victory-during-frenetic-wet-dry.HB0YWPEmcBxTYbbFhDkEp |access-date=11 December 2024 |work=Formula1.com}}

Nico Hülkenberg ran as high as second place before Pérez passed him, with Carlos Sainz Jr. and Lance Stroll passing Hülkenberg soon after. Hülkenberg, Lewis Hamilton, Kevin Magnussen, Logan Sargeant, Nyck de Vries, and Zhou Guanyu all boxed for dry tyres. The sprint ended with Verstappen winning from Pérez as Esteban Ocon and George Russell had a battle going into the final corner, with the former edging out the latter by 0.009 seconds for 7th place.{{Cite web |last=Kalinauckas |first=Alex |date=30 June 2023 |title=F1 Austrian GP: Verstappen dominates after first lap tussle with Perez |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-dominates-after-first-lap-tussle-with-perez/10490106/ |website=Autosport |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701153445/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-dominates-after-first-lap-tussle-with-perez/10490106/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-results-max-verstappen-wins-austrian-gp-sprint/10490139/ |title=F1 results: Max Verstappen wins Austrian GP sprint |last=Bradley |first=Charles |website=Autosport.com |date=1 July 2023 |access-date=1 July 2023 |archive-date=1 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701214548/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-results-max-verstappen-wins-austrian-gp-sprint/10490139/ |url-status=live }}

Notes

• {{note|5|1}} – Valtteri Bottas qualified 19th, but he started the race from the pit lane as he made a pit stop during the formation lap. His place on the grid was left vacant.

The race was held on 2 July 2023, at 15:00 local time (UTC+2).

The race was held under cloudy conditions. Max Verstappen had a good start ahead of the Ferraris with Lewis Hamilton battling Lando Norris for fourth. The safety car was called out after Yuki Tsunoda went into the gravel, damaging his front wing after a collision with Esteban Ocon. This incident did not result in a penalty for either driver and Tsunoda went into the pit lane to replace his wing. Meanwhile, Kevin Magnussen reported ERS problems and joined Tsunoda in the pit lane.{{cite web |date=2 July 2023 |title=Verstappen beats Leclerc for victory in Austria to make it five wins in a row |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-beats-leclerc-for-victory-in-austria-to-make-it-five-wins-in-a.40RQJjhwhd2nethv4qEsyJ |access-date=11 December 2024 |work=Formula1.com}}{{cite web |last=Evans |first=Nathan |date=3 July 2023 |title=F1 Austrian Grand Prix 2023 results as Max Verstappen claims fifth straight victory |url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/formula-1/news/f1-live-results-highlights-austrian-grand-prix-2023/qa8drsj9ilbqj8dmrno2uoox |access-date=11 December 2024 |work=The Sporting News}}

On the restart, Verstappen had another good start and built a gap away from Charles Leclerc as Sergio Pérez fought his way through the midfield, passing Ocon and closing up to George Russell, whom he eventually passed. Norris, who was behind Hamilton, reported numerous times that Hamilton had exceeded track limits. Hamilton, and later Tsunoda, would receive a black and white flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, later receiving penalties. Nico Hülkenberg's car started to smoke, retiring with a power unit issue and bringing out a virtual safety car. Carlos Sainz Jr., who was behind his teammate, requested to the team that Leclerc let him through to take the fight to Verstappen, though this went unanswered as the team decided to pit Sainz behind Leclerc getting a slower stop, dropping him behind Hamilton and Norris, who had exited the pits.

Verstappen would continue to build a large gap until he went into the pit lane for his stop. Leclerc jumped him in the pit lane, allowing him to lead a race for Ferrari for the first time since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This time, he kept the lead for nine laps, culminating in a battle between him and Verstappen that he had no answer to as the Red Bull driver passed him with DRS. Pérez, who had started fifteenth, would get up to third as drivers made their stops, and Verstappen, having built up a large gap over the race, won comfortably in front of Leclerc who gave Ferrari their 800th Formula One podium. Verstappen's teammate Pérez completed the podium in third. Verstappen took the fastest lap bonus point.{{Cite web |last=Bradley |first=Charles |date=3 July 2023 |title=F1 race results: Max Verstappen wins Austrian GP |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-race-results-max-verstappen-wins-austrian-gp/10490620/ |website=Autosport |access-date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703005012/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-race-results-max-verstappen-wins-austrian-gp/10490620/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-overcomes-ferrari-for-dominant-win/10490579/ |title=F1 Austrian GP: Verstappen overcomes Ferrari for dominant win |last=Kalinauckas |first=Alex |date=2 July 2023 |website=Autosport |access-date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703005010/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-austrian-gp-verstappen-overcomes-ferrari-for-dominant-win/10490579/ |url-status=live }}

A large number of penalties would be given out during the race, with a majority being due to track limits violations around the final two corners; the first two drivers to receive them were Hamilton and Tsunoda, both receiving five-second penalties for exceeding track limits. Tsunoda would later receive a ten-second penalty for further track-limit violations in addition to an investigation for not serving his first penalty correctly (which was resolved in his favour). Additionally, Sainz, Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly, Logan Sargeant, and Magnussen all received penalties for track limits. The only two drivers to have been penalised for something other than track limits were Esteban Ocon for unsafe release during his pit-stop, and Nyck de Vries for pushing Magnussen off-track. Further penalties for exceeding track limits would be given after Aston Martin protested the race results, with Ocon receiving a thirty-second penalty overall, in addition to a 5-second penalty for a different violation which he received during the race.

Aston Martin successfully protested the race results.{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-upholds-aston-martin-protest-f1-austrian-gp-results-set-to-change/10490799/ |title=FIA upholds Aston Martin protest, F1 Austrian GP results set to change |last=Kew |first=Matt |date=3 July 2023 |website=Autosport |access-date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=20 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231020125155/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-upholds-aston-martin-protest-f1-austrian-gp-results-set-to-change/10490799/ |url-status=live }} The stewards were unable to review all 1,200 reports during the race,{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-unable-to-review-1200-potential-f1-track-limit-offences-in-austrian-gp/10490773/ |title=FIA unable to review 1200 potential F1 track limit offences in Austrian GP |last=Kew |first=Matt |date=3 July 2023 |website=Autosport |access-date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=5 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705083753/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-unable-to-review-1200-potential-f1-track-limit-offences-in-austrian-gp/10490773/ |url-status=live }} but handed out a further twelve penalties for track limits violations following completion of the review process afterwards.{{Cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-hands-out-12-penalties-for-track-limit-offences-after-f1-austrian-gp/10490842/ |title=FIA hands out 12 penalties for track limit offences after F1 Austrian GP |last=Kew |first=Matt |date=3 July 2023 |website=Autosport |access-date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703154915/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-hands-out-12-penalties-for-track-limit-offences-after-f1-austrian-gp/10490842/ |url-status=live }}
