Previous Austrian GP winners
The Austrian Grand Prix has been held at two locations in southeastern Austria. It was originally held in Zeltweg, about 70 km (43 mi) west of Graz, before moving to neighbouring Spielberg in 1969, where it has been held since.
The race was first held at the Zeltweg Air Base for six years, with Australian Jack Brabham winning a non-championship event in 1963. The first championship event took place in 1964, with Italian Lorenzo Bandini winning his only Formula One championship race in a Ferrari.
Since 1970, the race has been held at the Österreichring, currently known as the Red Bull Ring due to its ownership by the Austrian drinks company of the same name. The track is located in the scenic Styrian mountains and is known for its high-speed, long corners.
Notable winners of the Austrian Grand Prix include Swiss driver Jo Siffert, who dominated the 1971 race in his BRM, and Briton Jackie Stewart, who took his second Drivers' Championship in 1975. In 1984, Austrian driver Niki Lauda took victory at his home Grand Prix in a McLaren, and in 1985, there was a fearsome crash at the Panorama Curve when Andrea de Cesaris rolled his Ligier.
In recent years, Max Verstappen has dominated the Red Bull Ring, claiming victory in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023. However, the 2024 season has seen surprise victors emerge at other races, including Carlos Sainz in Australia and Lando Norris in Miami.
