That was Formula 1 2025

The race weekend lies behind us, but the memories of thrilling races and top-class entertainment remain. Take the opportunity to relive the highlights of the Austrian GP once more.

The race weekend traditionally kicked off with the Pit Lane Walk on Thursday. After a brief cool-down, the pit lane heated up as several drivers appeared, took time for autographs and selfies, and teams offered closer insights into their work environment.

Live acts in the F1 Fan Zone and the Steiermark Village provided fantastic atmosphere throughout the race weekend. The performances were multifaceted: In the F1 Fan Zone, RIAN, Folkshilfe, VIZE, and Toby Romeo fired up the fans, while the Steiermark Village featured a more traditional vibe, for example with Dutch DJ ADMIN.

The Austrian GP impressed with an amazing show programme: The Red Bull Drift Shows dazzled with smoking tires and spectacular manoeuvres, while Red Bull Dance Your Style in the F1 Fan Zone thrilled the crowd with fascinating moves. On Sunday, air displays featuring acrobatic flight stunts conquered the skies over Spielberg – impressive and unforgettable.

There were many chances over the weekend to get closer to the world championship stars — whether during the Pit Lane Walk, the numerous Meet the Drivers sessions, or the Styrian Green Carpet on Sunday. We hope you spotted some stars and maybe even snagged an autograph or selfie!

At the Red Bull Legends Parade, Hollywood met motorsport: Numerous legendary movie vehicles, including the Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond – Goldfinger, the Ford Mustang “Eleanor” from Gone in 60 Seconds, and the Kawasaki GPz 900 R Ninja from Top Gun, rolled across the track. Two cars from F1® The Movie, driven by Brad Pitt, also joined the lineup — the perfect warm-up for the upcoming racing spectacle.

Eight dancers from the youth company of the Ballet academy of the Vienna State Opera and 50 members of the Vienna Boys Choir and Vienna Girls Choir performed the national anthem before the race start. The choreography by Eno Peci combined dance, singing, and sign language — an anthem for everyone!

The Grand Prix was literally heating up: from sunny, hot weather to thrilling duels, collisions, and a brief fire on Carlos Sainz’s car shortly before the start. Lando Norris took the victory ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri, who took over the lead in the championship. The race captivated with exciting battles and an electrifying atmosphere for the fans. Charles Leclerc completed the podium, rounding out a varied driver lineup.

The passion for motorsport was palpable everywhere. From the very first minute, the atmosphere at the Red Bull Ring was energized. Thousands of fans, seas of red, white, red and orange flags, pure goosebumps. Whether at the track or in the fan zone — you couldn’t be closer: pure emotion, thrilling atmosphere, and genuine fan community.

Formula 1 2025 is over, but we have great news for you: The Red Bull Ring and Formula 1 have extended their partnership, so F1 will race at Spielberg through 2041.
