The 2023 Austrian Grand Prix will take place this weekend from the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria. The ninth event of the Formula One World Championship series will begin on Sunday, with practice and qualifying rounds on Friday and a sprint race on Saturday.

Unfortunately for the drivers and the spectators, the forecast in Spielberg does not look promising this weekend. Thunderstorms are projected to roll through on all three race days.

Max Verstappen is the favorite to win at DraftKings Sportsbook, coming in at -300 after winning the last three races.
