Austrian GP follows Miami in extending F1 contract to 2041
SPIELBERG, Austria, June 29 (Reuters) - The Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring will stay on the calendar through 2041 after announcing on Sunday a contract extension that equals Miami as the longest in Formula One. The current deal, last extended two years ago, ran to 2030. The circuit in Spielberg is owned by the Austrian energy drinks company that owns Red Bull Racing, and has Dutch four times world champion Max Verstappen as their star driver, and Italy-based Racing Bulls. Miami agreed a 10-year extension to 2041 last month. Behind them, Bahrain has a deal to 2036, Melbourne to 2035, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to at least 2032. "Austria has long been an incredibly special race for Formula One so it's fantastic we have secured the long-term future of a Grand Prix so deeply rooted in the sport's history," said Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali. Verstappen has won a record five times in Spielberg, a 4.3km circuit known for its picturesque backdrop and undulating layout. The late Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz, whose son Mark is now at the helm, invested heavily in renovating the circuit. "I am delighted that Formula One will remain at the Red Bull Ring for many years to come. I am proud to continue my father's legacy," he said.

Wirtz fee 'insane' but he can 'give something great'
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he understands why the Reds have paid a club record sum for Germany star Florian Wirtz - but described the £116m deal as "insane".Klopp ended his nine-year spell as Liverpool boss last summer before his successor, Arne Slot, won the Premier League title in his first season in Reds have since spent big on recruitment, signing Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a club record fee."There's no question about it, that's an insane sum," said Klopp. "We all agree that we're talking about a great player here."I know I once said that I'm out if we pay 100m euros for a player. But the world keeps changing. That is how the market is."My part of football will always remain the game itself, but if you want to play at the top level, you can't train all your players yourself. Sometimes you need to get hold [of players from] somewhere else."Asked if Wirtz, 22, will establish himself at Anfield, Klopp added: "Yes, although of course I don't know exactly which position Arne has in mind for Florian."He's an outstanding player who can give any club something great. Whether he'll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen."
