The Austrian Grand Prix, held at the Red Bull Ring, is one of the shortest and fastest circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. With long straights, heavy braking zones, and just 10 corners, this high-altitude track delivers tight racing, wheel-to-wheel battles, and plenty of overtaking opportunities. This weekend features the Sprint format, so fans can expect action from Friday to Sunday.

Fans love Austria for its accessibility, grandstand visibility, and lively orange-clad Verstappen supporters.
