Austria could return to the F1 calendar in 2013

Austria could return to the Formula One calendar next season, that is the claim of RedBull's Motorsport director Dr Helmut Marko. The A1 Ring in Austria is now owned by RedBull and has been renamed the RedBull Ring. RedBull have apparently approached the FIA about the possibility of hosting the race as early as next season stating that the circuit is up to FIA standard.

The A1 Ring last hosted a GrandPrix in 2003 and was the scene of Michael Schumacher's controversial overtake on team-mate Rubens Barrichello who was leading the race right at the end of the race. Team order's were banned following this race, however they were reinstated last season.

In my opinion RedBull already have enough involvement in Formula One as it is, with RedBull Racing  and Toro Rosso without promoting a GrandPrix.

I personally think that Istanbul Park should get the nod as it is a fantastic circuit especially with it's mega turn 8.
