F1 considering Sunday qualifying as rain storm hits Red Bull Ring

Qualifying for this weekend's Styrian Grand Prix is likely to be postponed until Sunday morning as heavy rain looks set to rule out all Formula One track action at the Red Bull Ring on Saturday.

Rain at the circuit caused a Formula 3 support race to be cut short by 10 laps on Saturday morning and delayed the start of F1's final practice session indefinitely. Qualifying is due to get underway at 3:00PM local, but will also be delayed if there is not a break in the weather.

If track conditions fail to improve throughout the day, the qualifying session will be moved to Sunday morning, which is currently forecast to be dry.
