The inaugural Austrian grand prix was held in
1971 at the
Salzburgring, where it stayed until
1994. In
1995, the Austrian GP was taken off the calendar because the Salzburgring was deemed too dangerous for racing., but would return in
1996 on the then-called Österreichring. In
1997, the Österreichring became the A1-Ring, named after the Austrian mobile network operator
A1. For the
1998 season, the Austrian round was scrapped, mainly due to the low number of spectators who visited the races. After a 19-year absence, the Austrian Grand Prix returned in
2016 and currently takes place at the
Red Bull Ring in
Spielberg. The layout was changed, and a chicane was added before the 2022 race. ==Track gallery==
