By moving Japan to April, Azerbaijan to September and Qatar back-to-back with Abu Dhabi, Formula 1’s calendar aimed to create a better flow of races in certain regions.
For the opening two races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia (you can get all of your Jeddah race updates here), the Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday. This decision was taken to accommodate Ramadan.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: “I am delighted to announce the 2024 calendar with 24 races that will deliver an exciting season for our fans around the world. There is huge interest and continued demand for Formula 1, and I believe this calendar strikes the right balance between traditional races and new and existing venues. I want to thank all of the promoters and partners for their support and effort to achieve this great schedule.
“Our journey to a more sustainable calendar will continue in the coming years as we further streamline operations as part of our Net Zero 2030 commitment. We have plenty of racing to look forward to in 2023, including the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, and our fans can look forward to more excitement next season.”
