The end of the Formula 1 season is quickly approaching, and many will be starting to look towards next year for their F1 fix. This year’s season will have seen 22 races packed with action and impressive dominance from Max Verstappen and his Red Bull car.
The 2024 F1 season will begin on 29 February and run until 8 December with a record-breaking 24-race season. Pre-season testing will take place in Bahrain at the end of February, just a week before the opening race.
The first two races of the year in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will be held on Saturday nights, with a shifted schedule due to the Muslim holy period of Ramadan, which begins on Sunday 10 March.
The holy event required the Saudi Arabian GP to be moved forward by a day and with back-to-back weekends, the decision was made to also race on Saturday in Bahrain to ensure there was enough time to move all freight to the next race.
The Chinese GP is also set to return to the F1 calendar for the first time since 2019. The race was previously cancelled in 2023 for a fourth consecutive year following strict COVID-19 measures in the country.
The F1 season finale for 2023 is here, with teams heading to the Yas Marina Circuit for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this Sunday, 26 November 2023. Although both world championships have been secured by Red Bull, there’s still many fights happening for positions before the end of the race.
There’s just five points separating fourth to sixth in the drivers’ championship with Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris all hoping to secure the position in the standings. Mercedes and Ferrari will also be fighting for second place in the constructors’ championship with huge amounts of prize money still available to secure.
