The high-speed drama of Formula 1 rolls into Austria this weekend, with the Red Bull Ring set to host another action-packed Grand Prix. The supporting acts, Formula 2 and Formula 3, will also take center stage, adding even more fuel to the motorsport spectacle.
Max Verstappen has made this track his personal stomping ground over the years. No other driver has conquered it more often, with four wins to his name. The circuit's tight corners and tricky braking zones play right into the hands of his fearless, full-throttle approach.
Yet when it comes to raw pace, Carlos Sainz still holds the bragging rights. In 2020, the Ferrari man laid down a lap for the ages—clocking a track record of 1:05.619.
Last year’s race wasn’t short on drama either. A late clash between Verstappen and Lando Norris opened the door for George Russell, who capitalized on the chaos to steal a surprise win for Mercedes. As the engines fire up again in the Styrian hills, fans can expect more twists and turns.
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.
