The Red Bull Ring is a circuit we know well, but one that always needs to be approached with caution. Its layout — with long straights, heavy braking, and generally low grip, especially at the rear — makes it one of the most challenging tracks of the season for tires. The rear tire is particularly stressed during acceleration phases and generates a lot of heat. Our specific ‘Red Bull Ring’ construction, used here for several years, helps us control this factor and maintain consistent performance to the chequered flag. It has proven its worth, and we have chosen to use it again.
On the front tire side, we are introducing an evolution this year to the Hard compound. It uses the 2024 Medium compound but with a stiffer internal carcass to improve stability and support under heavy braking. This will allow riders to brake later and have better control in critical phases.
The summer weather could be an advantage, but if rain comes, the track becomes tricky: low grip, persistent damp patches
