The 2023 F1 season has got off to a sensational start and we are now all set for a resumption in action following a 14-day gap.

The Austrian GP will take place at the picturesque Red Bull Ring Circuit in Spielberg.

Austrian GP 2023 Preview and Track

The Red Bull Ring is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Austria. The race circuit was founded as Osterreichring and hosted the Austrian Grand Prix for eighteen consecutive years, from 1970 to 1987. It was later shortened, rebuilt and renamed the A1-Ring (A Eins-Ring), and it hosted the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003.

Austrian GP 2023 Predictions

Red Bull look invincible at the moment and they started the season with a bang. They didn’t have an ideal Canadian GP last weekend as Perez finished sixth but Verstappen notched up valuable points for the team by finishing on top of the podium. Other teams have a lot of catch up to do and the reigning champions are expected to dominate the grid once again. However, do keep your eyes on Lewis Hamilton, who is slowly getting back to his best. P1 for Verstappen, P2 for Hamilton and P3 for Perez is our prediction for the weekend.
