Austrian Grand Prix - Red Bull Ring: 2030

At the end of 2020 Red Bull advisor Dr Helmut Marko announced that a new, multi-year deal had been signed but the duration was never been formally announced. However, given the race's popularity and importance to Red Bull, it was likely it would remain on the calendar for the next few years.
