“Once again, we’ll visit 24 incredible venues around the world, delivering top class racing, hospitality, and entertainment, which will be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide,” F1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali, said in an official statement of f1.com.
“We’re grateful to the FIA, our promoters, host city partners, and all the related ASNs for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule and securing what promises to be another fantastic year for Formula 1″.
In the same joint announcement, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, said, “Formula One Management, under the direction of Stefano Domenicali, have produced a calendar which strikes a good blend of traditional circuits and modern venues”.
This weekend though sees the return of the Chinese Grand Prix for the first time since 2019, the penultimate “overseas” round before the season’s return to Europe on 19 May with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.
In between will be the first of three visits to the United States with the Miami Grand Prix on 5 May.
