Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz and Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone agreed that a race would take place at the Red Bull Ring on July 6 2014, pending permits by authorities.
LENGTHY 2014 CALENDAR
The Austrian race falls over the same weekende on which the 2013 German GP was held, which raises questions regarding the composition of the 2014 calendar.
The apparent addition of Austria, pending official ratification by the FIA, makes it uncertain how long the 2014 season will be given that their are already 19 events on the 2013 calendar.
Austria was a consistent feature on the F1 calendar in the 1970s and 1980s at the iconic Osterreichring. After the original circuit held its last grand prix in 1987, it wasn't until a decade later that the country returned to the sport at its new A1 Ring.
