Red Bull Racing-Honda driver Max Verstappen is the defending champion having won last year's race in Spielberg.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who is a highly-rated driver, secured a second-place finish at the Red Bull Ring.
Bottas' Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton is the current Formula One world champion having last year's Drivers' Championship.
The 30-year-old driver was the runner-up behind Hamilton, who is currently holding the record for the all-time most career points (3431).

Bottas says they cannot afford to make any mistakes as he looks to go all the way and clinch his maiden Drivers' Championship this season.
“Minimising every mistake and maximising every single race weekend is going to be the key, because every mistake is going to cost more than in a normal championship with more than 20 races,” Bottas said on Formula1.com.

“So just consistency and being on it, that’s going to be the key and we need to keep on, not to be overdoing things, and trusting your own skills and the team around you. I’m sure we can do that."
“It’s an interesting season ahead… there’s a bit of an unknown after the first eight races, how the calendar is going to be so we just need to take that week by week, month by month and we’ll see."
Mercedes have clinched seven races at the Austrian Grand Prix with Bottas having won their last race in Spielberg in 2017.
