Red Bull “pulled out all the stops” to ensure the Austrian Grand P🅰rix could go ahead and help Formula 1 get its 2020 season underway, says team b💦oss Christian Horner.

On Tuesday morning F1 confirmed the heavily-delayed 2020 s🎐easo﷽n will start with back-to-back rounds in Austria beginning on July 5, marking the fi🥀rst of a run of eight races in Europe.

Following weeks of discussions between F1, Red Bull Ring chiefs and local authorities, the Austrian government gave championship bosses the go-ahead for its plan to ge✃t the campaign off the ground with back-to-back races within a controlled ‘biosphere’ environment.

The Austrian Grand Prix and following ‘Steierm🌄ark GP’ on July 12 will take place behind closed doors, with a💮 limited number of F1 personnel set to use charter flights and private transport to arrive at the venue, before following a number of strict safety measures.

Red Bull team principal Horner said tꦺhere had been a “huge effort” from all parties involved to ensure the plan got signe💞d off.

“🙈Red Bull have pulled out all the stops to get the Austrian Grand Prix up and running, in order to support a safe start to the Formula 1 season,” Horner explained.

“It’s a fantastic venue and we are pleased to be starting our championship camp🌠aign at our home circuit. It has been a huge effort by all involved and the two events at the Red Bull Ring will be a blueprint for all other races to follow.

"There was obviously a huge amount of discussion behind the scenes with Liberty, the FIA and the local authorities to ensure that r🍸eturning to racing is done responsibly and we all have our part🐎 to play in order to enforce the measures in place.

“With the first eight races of the calendar now confirmed we have s𒆙ome positive momentum. As a race team and racers, we are excited to get going again and put on a show for our fans.”

After the two rounds in Austria a third successive race in Hungary will tak𒁏e place on July 16, followed by a tw༺o-week break.

F1 will then head to Britain for two consecutive✤ races at Silverstone - the British Grand Prix 🐎and ‘70th Anniversary Grand Prix - before further rounds in Spain, Belgium and Italy.
