Those who want to step back from the corporate labelling might like a little history lesson here.
This former airfield was soon remodelled into a racing track, hosting its first action as the Osterreichring in 1969 and holding its first grand prix a year later.
After a decade-long absence following numerous crashes and a Hermann Tilke redesign, the A1 ring was back on the calendar from 1997. Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz then bought the track in 2004 after another impending absence from the calendar — and the renamed Red Bull Ring has been an F1 mainstay since 2014.
In that 11-race run, Red Bull (well, Max Verstappen) has won the Austrian Grand Prix four times.
There were also two Styrian Grands Prix held at the circuit in 2020 and 2021 — named after the province in Austria — as F1 looked to work around the COVID pandemic. Verstappen also won one of those.
The track is relatively short, comes with just 10 corners (if you’re generous to the kink labelled Turn 2) and plenty of gradient changes, both uphill and down. Only Spa-Francorchamps has a greater elevation change through a lap.
The highlight is Turn 9, also known as Rindt, as the cars tear through the high-speed right hander in the midst of a roaring trip downhill.
Here are the key circuit facts:
- Circuit length: 4.326 km (2.688 miles)
- Laps: 71
- Lap record: 1:05.619 (Carlos Sainz, 2020)
- First GP: 1970

James Harden, Clippers agree to new contract: 11-time All-Star remaining in L.A. on $81.5M deal, per report
Getty Images Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden is remaining in Los Angeles. ESPN reports that the 11-time NBA All-Star is declining his player option and plans to sign a new two-year, $81.5 million deal to return to the Clippers. The second year of this new contract reportedly has a player option and is partially guaranteed. Harden was due to make $36.3 million next season, but by declining his option and agreeing to a new deal, he will receive a raise for the 2025-26 season and give the team some added flexibility. Harden, who will return 36 in August, just wrapped up his second season with the Clippers, and averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. He became just the second 35-year-old player in NBA history to record 22 points and eight assists per game, joining LeBron James. In […]

Em eliminação no Mundial, Flamengo volta a perder após quase dois meses

Desde então, o Flamengo ficou invicto durante 11 jogos, com oito vitórias e três empates, válidas por Mundial, Libertadores, Brasileirão e Copa do Brasil.
Flamengo iguala na vontade, mas erra demais e é eliminado do Mundial diante de um Bayern implacável quando quis
Equipe sul-americana com o futebol mais próximo do que se pratica na Europa, o Flamengo cumpriu a promessa de tentar enfrentar o Bayern de Munique de igual para igual no Mundial de Clubes, mas sabia que isso só seria possível se houvesse erro mínimo. Neste domingo, no Hard Rock Stadium, em Miami, a força da equipe alemã levou a duas falhas e dois gols em menos de 10 minutos de jogo, em função de uma intensidade na marcação sobre a linha de defesa, que impediu qualquer debate sobre equilíbrio. Mesmo superando os europeus na vontade e na parte física no segundo tempo, com luxuosa colaboração da torcida, que não parou de apoiar um segundo, a eliminação aconteceu em uma derrota aceitável por 4 a 2, com outras duas falhas fatais na etapa final. A postura alemã de pressionar para recuperar […]
Candace Parker ‘humbled’ to have her No. 3 retired by Sparks: ‘I’m so appreciative and I can’t believe it’
No one will ever forget Candace Parker's legendary run with the Los Angeles Sparks. And now, no one will ever wear her No. 3. Parker, one of the best players in Sparks and WNBA history, had her jersey retired on Sunday during a ceremony at halftime of the team's game against the Chicago Sky. Parker joins Lisa Leslie and Penny Toler as the only players to have their jersey retired by the Sparks -- one of the WNBA's original franchises. Later this summer, Parker will also have her jersey retired by the Chicago Sky and join Lindsay Whalen as the only other player in league history to have her jersey retired by multiple franchises. Before her jersey was unveiled, Parker addressed the adoring crowd. Here are her comments in full:"Normally I go off the cuff, off the dome, no pen like Jay-Z, […]
