GP Austria Betting
Austrian GP
The fearsome and original Osterreichring was created in 1969 as a replacement for the Zeltweg airfield circuit. The track, now known as the Red Bull Ring, was created in the winter of 1995-1996 when Hermann Tilke was hired to transform the Osterreichring into a shorter and more modern race track (all f1 sports betting).
Betting on the Austrian GP in F1
The length of the Austrian GP has been shortened from 5.942 km to 4.326 km and fast corners have been replaced by three tight right-handers to create overtaking opportunities. Its three long straights, as well as a winding inner section, required a compromise in configuration.
Located on the straight between Turns 1 and 3, the large grandstand offers a view of both this area and the pit straight, which means you can see the start and finish line and two of the best passing areas.
Other tracks that focus on power with long straights include Russia, Mexico, Canada and Baku. Make sports bets online with bwin.
Betting on the Spielberg circuit
Generally, cars have medium to high downforce here, while the engines struggle. The Red Bull Ring is 677 meters above sea level, so the air is quite rarefied.
The Red Bull Ring circuit in Austria has hosted 11 Grands Prix to date. With four wins, Max Verstappen is the track's most successful driver.
Due to the fact that every event on the F1 calendar has to have a unique name, the two races at the Red Bull Ring could not both have been nicknamed the Austrian Grand Prix. As a result, Motorsport chose to name their race at the venue after the region in which the track is located, namely Styria.
Recommended bets on the Austrian GP
The Red Bull Ring's wide braking zones are perfect for impressive overtaking manoeuvres and nowhere more so than the OMV MaxxMotion corner where the best braking point is when you reach the 250m marker.
As the track slope upwards, Formula 1 drivers can use the slope to reduce their speed. A recommended bet on Formula 1 is to make live bets during the race.
