Why the Austrian Grand Prix is the place to be

Motorsport Monday January 26, 2026 By: Harry Howes

The sun has barely set on a phenomenal Formula One season but we’re already making plans for the next one. While 2025 brought incredible action on the course and unforgettable memories off it, 2026 is set to be even better. 

You can join us in our exclusive hospitality areas for the ultimate VIP experience. Plus, for the new season we’re over the moon to be able to offer guest access to the F1® Paddock Club. Enjoy a day of luxury and get up close to the action at some of the world’s top races, including the Austrian Grand Prix. 

When is the Austrian Grand Prix? 

By the time the Austrian Grand Prix rolls around, we’ll be edging towards the halfway mark of the 2026 season. This year’s Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring will be the 10th race of the year and is scheduled to take place on Sunday 28th June. 

The event returned to the calendar in 2014 following an 11-year hiatus and it’s set to take place until at least 2041 after an extension to the deal was agreed. Max Verstappen holds the record for the most wins in Austria with four – his last triumph came back in 2023 as he raced toward his third consecutive title. 

But after retiring in last season’s race due to a collision, the Red Bull superstar was unable to prevent Lando Norris winning the race for the first time. The 2025 champion finished ahead of teammate Piastri to claim McLaren’s first win in Austria since 2001. 

It was Norris’ third win of the season and it may well have given him the momentum to win his first British Grand Prix in the following race. The 26-year-old eventually won the title – although it came down to the wire. Norris finished just two points clear of Verstappen, who won the final three races of the season to put the pressure on.
