Run on a short, fast Alpine circuit since 1970 — the Red Bull Ring's 4.3km, ten-corner layout climbs and descends 65 metres through a natural bowl in the Styrian mountains. A 71-lap grand prix where lap times fall below 70 seconds, making track position and overtaking strategy critical across three fast sectors.
