So for people who have forgotten:
The Austrian GP has a sprint race.
In the current sprint race setup, this means that qualifying for the main race is today, at 17.00 local time. Tomorrow, the qualifying for the sprint race (called sprint shootout) is at 12.00 local time and the sprint race itself is at 16.30 local time.

So the result of the sprint race is not the order of the starting grid of the main race anymore.

So quite a busy weekend for the drivers, with just 1 practice session, starting at 13:30 local time, so in just over half an hour.

I can imagine that for the drivers/teams this gives very little time for setting up the car and very little room for error.
A lot of drivers are no fan of this format.
