The Red Bull Ring, in the Styrian hills above Spielberg, is one of the shortest and fastest laps in Formula 1: just 4.318 km and 10 corners, but with big elevation change and long flat-out climbs and descents that make it a slipstreaming, lap-time-is-tight venue. Pole laps here are among the quickest of the year, in the 1:06s under the 2026 rules.
Originally the Österreichring and later the A1-Ring, the circuit returned to the calendar in 2014 as the Red Bull Ring and has hosted the Austrian Grand Prix every season since. Its short lap and three long straights make it a perennial overtaking and qualifying-margin classic.
