The 2024 F1 calendar was announced way back in July but it usually includes a few To Be Confirmed / caveats, so I don’t rush to blog about it. The 2024 calendar looks a lot like 2023‘s, although China has been added (making a total of 24 races, despite teams’ pleas not to increase it) and a couple of different venues getting the sprint race format for their weekend.
F1 made some noise about “greater calendar regionalisation”, i.e. grouping races in order to reduce the amount of travel, but other than Azerbaijan moving to September the order is very similar to 2023. There are three races in the United States: Miami in May, Austin in October and Vegas in late November – I’m not sure how this helps reduce the amount of travel, but then I also don’t think there should be three races in one country (especially USA) in the first place. Italy has two races, same as last year: Imola in May and Monza in September.
Bahrain kicks of the season on the first weekend in March, same as 2023, but Abu Dhabi wraps it up on December 8th this year, almost two weeks later that last year but that’s down to China being shoe-horned in before Miami.
