The circuit in the Austrian Alps is owned by Red Bull. It has the shortest lap, in terms of time, on the calendar and just 10 corners. Most drivers made two stops last year. This year's Austrian GP is the 36th in the history of the championship, with the first held at Zeltweg airfield in 1964 and then moving to Spielberg's Oesterreichring (a shortened version later named A1 Ring and now Red Bull Ring) in 1970.

During the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 it also hosted the Styrian Grand Prix. The track features aggressive kerbs and is hard on suspension. The weather can be unpredictable, with rain forecast this weekend.

There have been only nine winners from pole in 18 races on the current configuration. There are 330 metres from pole to turn one, with the lap having three DRS zones and most overtakes into turns three and four. Verstappen (2018, 2019, 2021), Valtteri Bottas (2017, 2020), Leclerc (2022) and Lewis Hamilton (2016) are the only drivers on the current grid to have won the Austrian GP.

Hamilton won the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix, and Verstappen won in 2021, at the same circuit. WINS
