The Austrian Grand Prix returns this weekend, with the Red Bull Ring hosting the event. The circuit, with a length of 4.326km and 10 turns, is known for its picturesque backdrop and challenging layout.
Former Renault F1 driver Jolyon Palmer describes the circuit as 'undulating' and 'characterful', with drivers needing to be careful with kerbs to avoid damage. The track features four designated Straight Mode zones and one Overtake Detection line, which will be crucial for drivers looking to gain an advantage.
The Austrian Grand Prix has a rich history, with the first World Championship F1 Grand Prix held in 1964 at the Zeltweg Airfield circuit. Since then, the event has been held at the Österreichring, A1-Ring, and now the Red Bull Ring, with Max Verstappen winning four times at the Spielberg venue.
