Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel excited for Austrian GP

As the Formula One circus rolls into Spielberg, the duo will aim to build on Ricciardo's thrilling victory in Canada earlier this month.

That ended six successive Mercedes wins in 2014, and Red Bull's intimate knowledge of their home track could help them again.

"It's great to be going to Red Bull's home race after an awesome weekend in Canada," Ricciardo is quoted as saying on the F1 website.

"I've only driven the 'Red Bull ring' (Spielberg) on filming days, essentially a handful of laps without the out-and-out aggression that you'll see at the Austrian Grand Prix weekend.

"It's a tidy circuit, not the longest and not many corners, but what is there is good. Turn One is cool as it climbs up the hill. It looks tight, but actually isn't.

"It's very odd going to what, essentially, is a new race but in a place where the racing history is firmly established.

"It sounds as though there will be a massive crowd up in the mountains and I'm sure the return of the Austrian Grand Prix will get off to a really good start."

Vettel, meanwhile, is delighted to return to the track but warned that it would pose several problems for drivers.

"I have great memories of the Red Bull ring. I was 13 years old when I first drove around it," the four-time world champion said.

"I'm really happy that we will race there. The circuit is actually very pretty, not only the track, but the whole area. The circuit's set amid a beautiful natural landscape.

"There are not many distractions there - it's just about racing. The Red Bull ring is a short track, with only a few turns, but it's very challenging.

"There are also a lot of elevation changes, which makes it interesting and fun."
