This weekend, the Formula 1 circus returns to life at the picturesque Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Max Verstappen leads the charts with four victories at the circuit, more than any other driver in Formula 1 history. The Dutch dynamo has transformed the Styrian hills into his own playground. Its sharp turns and challenging braking zones perfectly complement his daring, aggressive driving style.
There were plenty of fireworks at the Austrian GP last year as well. After Verstappen and Lando Norris got into a late-race altercation that sent sparks flying, George Russell was able to intervene and give Mercedes an unexpected victory.
The 2025 Austrian Grand Prix is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
