The Red Bull Ring has plenty in common with the previous grand prix venue in Montreal - both power tracks demanding heavy braking and good traction, with similar weather and the same tyre compounds.
As the tracks are so similar in nature, many of the developments seen in Canada are also on the cars for this race.
However, with the Red Bull Ring being a European track close to the teams' bases, and immediately preceding the 'aero' tracks of Silverstone, Hungaroring and Spa, this is a key race for technical updates and some teams have brought major packages.
