Circuit owners Red Bull have signed a new four-year contract for the Austrian Grand Prix to remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2027.
Austria is one of a core of historic European circuits that have become fixtures on the calendar as F1 seeks to expand globally.
This year, it will be one of an expanded roster of six events to host the ‘sprint’ format that use a shorter race on Saturday to set the grid for the main grand prix.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali said the race brings together the perfect mix of a challenging track, high-speed racing, and a beautiful venue.
In recent years it has become one of a group of tracks popular with large numbers of travelling Dutch fans supporting Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Last time out in 2022, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc secured a commanding victory, with Verstappen second and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton third.
