What happened: Red Bull returns to the Red Bull Ring this weekend for the Austrian Grand Prix, its home race set in the picturesque Styrian hills. The team owns the circuit, and the round is framed as an important juncture in its season.

Why it matters: A home weekend carries added pressure and expectation, and Red Bull arrives at its own track looking to show progress. A reported new upgrade package is expected to help the car run closer to the minimum weight after a heavier start to the campaign.

By the numbers: Red Bull is reported to have begun the season around 12kg overweight, with its latest upgrade package expected to bring the car closer to the minimum weight limit in Austria.

What to watch: Watch whether the upgrade package delivers on home soil and how Red Bull stacks up against the front-runners over the race weekend.
