The unveiling of the 2025 Formula 1 calendar has brought anticipation, featuring 24 grands prix scheduled for the 75th season of the World Championship. Following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council, the calendar offers an array of exciting races.
Expanding from the previous year, the 2025 calendar maintains the 24-race format. Notably, there are no fresh additions to the lineup. Commencing the season is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, slated for March 14th-16th.
This marks a significant return as the Albert Park circuit hosts the season opener for the first time since 2019. Bahrain, in deference to Ramadan, will be the fourth race on the calendar, with a later slot.
The iconic British Grand Prix will be staged at Silverstone on July 4th-6th, while the season will culminate in Abu Dhabi on December 5th-7th.
Noteworthy is a brief hiatus between the British and Belgian Grands Prix, spanning three weeks from July 6th to July 27th. This interlude partly aligns with the Men’s Wimbledon final slated for July 13th.
In contrast to the adjustments made in 2024 due to Ramadan, the 2025 season sees only one Saturday race scheduled – Las Vegas on November 22nd.
The calendar also boasts three triple-header weekends, including the Las Vegas-Qatar-Abu Dhabi sequence. Additionally, there are five double-headers and five standalone events scattered across the calendar.
While the majority of the schedule is set, the specifics of the Sprint races remain pending confirmation, adding an element of anticipation to the upcoming season.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali stated: “2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and it’s that legacy and experience that allows us to deliver such a strong calendar.”
“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.
“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.
“I would also like to pay tribute to our F1 teams and drivers, the heroes of our sport, and our fans around the world for continuing to follow Formula 1 with such incredible enthusiasm.”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem emphasized that the updated calendar represents another stride towards achieving sustainability objectives.
He stated; “The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar, approved by the World Motor Sport Council, is a further illustration of our collective mission of meeting sustainability objectives through the regionalisation of events.
“While our focus is on the overall stability of Formula 1, we also have a shared duty to the environment and to the health and well-being of travelling staff.
“Formula One Management, under the direction of Stefano Domenicali, have produced a calendar which strikes a good blend of traditional circuits and modern venues.
“We thank the host ASNs, the local organisers and the many thousands of FIA volunteers for their tireless efforts in making Formula 1 a truly global, mass audience spectacle as we prepare to celebrate the sport’s 75th year.”
