About the Red Bull Ring
Nestled in the Styrian mountains near Spielberg, the circuit known today as the Red Bull Ring has hosted the Austrian Grand Prix under three different identities. It began life as the fearsome, high-speed Österreichring in 1970, a sweeping natural-terrain track that ran through the hills until the early 1980s. After a long absence it was rebuilt in shortened form as the A1-Ring, which hosted races from 1997 to 2003.
The venue then fell dormant before being bought and revived by Red Bull, reopening as the Red Bull Ring in 2014. Since then it has become a calendar fixture and effectively the home race of Red Bull Racing and home hero Max Verstappen, who has enjoyed huge support from the orange-clad fans who pack the grassy hillsides. In recent years it has also frequently appeared twice in a season, hosting both the Austrian and Styrian Grands Prix.
Memorable Moments
- 2002: Ferrari's controversial team orders saw Rubens Barrichello ordered to move aside for Michael Schumacher on the final straight, handing the German a deeply unpopular victory and prompting a furious reaction from the crowd.
- 2019: Max Verstappen carved through the field and made a robust late-race pass on Charles Leclerc to win, a result that was investigated by the stewards before being allowed to stand, igniting wild celebrations from the Dutch fans.
- 2018: Verstappen took his first Austrian Grand Prix win after both Mercedes suffered problems, the start of his strong association with the circuit.
Track Character
The Red Bull Ring is one of the shortest laps on the calendar, a compact circuit of just ten corners that races by in well under 70 seconds. Despite its brevity it is fast and physical, with steep gradients climbing up to and dropping away from a sequence of uphill braking zones. Long full-throttle stretches connected by hard braking into uphill corners create several genuine overtaking opportunities, especially into Turns 3 and 4, and DRS makes for frequent position changes. Set against a stunning alpine backdrop and roared on by passionate fans, it consistently produces close, action-packed racing.
