The Austrian Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until at least 2030 after F1 agreed a new deal with the track's promoters.

Projekt Spielberg GmbH & Co KG will continue to promote the race heading into the next decade with the news announced on the morning of the 2023 edition of the event.

Whether it will continue to host F1 sprint races each year is yet to be decided but F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is delighted about the deal nonetheless.

Mateschitz's vision

“I am delighted to announce this news with our exceptional partners in Austria,” Domenicali said.
