Summary

Formula 1 will return to the Red Bull Ring for the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix from June 26 to June 28, following races in Monaco and Barcelona. The circuit, known for having the fewest corners on the calendar, features a competitive layout that challenges drivers, particularly at turns 1 and 4. Jolyon Palmer notes the technical difficulties presented by the circuit's undulations and abrasive kerbs. Pirelli will provide the softest tyre compounds, with a strategy leaning towards a potential one-stop race. The last Austrian Grand Prix saw Lando Norris take pole and win in 2025 with additional wins in previous years dominated by Max Verstappen.
