The Austrian Grand Prix is a crucial stage in the battle among top Formula 1 teams. Both Red Bull and Ferrari have brought technical upgrades that could shift the momentum of the 2025 championship. Here's the full race schedule, how to watch, and the latest updates from leading teams.

Red Bull and Ferrari upgrade their cars before the race

Another stage of the "royal races", the Austrian Grand Prix, will occur this weekend.

This is a home weekend for Red Bull, and the team plans to make it as productive as possible: they've changed the floor, wing aerodynamics, and internal elements of the front suspension.

However, some engineers believe these innovations will work better at the next stage – in Silverstone.

Ferrari is also preparing changes. The Italians may introduce their July upgrade package in Austria: new aerodynamic surfaces and updated rear suspension geometry.

McLaren maintains its lead in the championship

At the top of the Constructors' Championship is McLaren (374 points), maintaining its advantage thanks to consistent tire performance. The MCL39 car shows low tire degradation, a key factor in their success at the previous Canadian stage.

Who is the most successful in the history of the Austrian Grand Prix

The most wins at the Austrian Grand Prix belong to current Red Bull driver Max Verstappen – he has won on this track four times.

In second place is Alain Prost, who claimed three victories at the Red Bull Ring.

Among teams, the leaders in terms of wins are McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes, each with six victories.

Thanks to Verstappen's success, Red Bull shares second place with Lotus – both have four wins.
