Red Bull Ring F1 Rain History & Race Day Weather

Spielberg. Recorded weather and results from 11 races since 2018

None of the 11 races at Red Bull Ring since 2018 was a wet race.

Counting practice and qualifying too, 5 of 11 race weekends had at least one wet session (most recently 2021), counting only sessions with data.

A wet race means the track weather station reported rain for 10+ minutes in a row, or at least 5% of laps with a known tyre compound were on intermediate or wet tyres (100+ such laps needed). Practice and qualifying count as wet on the 10-minute rule only.
