F1 have announced the 2025 season calendar, which will again contain 24 rounds.
After running Thursday – Saturday schedules in 2024 as the opening two rounds due to Ramadan, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been moved to mid-April from 11-13 and 18-20 April respectively as the fourth and fifth rounds of the season.
Japan though will remain in its new first weekend of April slot and form the first of a triple-header followed by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Australia consequently has returned to its former season-opening slot across 14-16 March and will be followed by a trip to China one week later from 21-23 March.
After taking a late June slot in 2024, Spain will take place across 30 May – 1 June next season, as the last part of a triple-header which commences with Imola, Italy, on weekend of 16 – 18 May followed by Monaco on 23-25 May prior to the visit to Barcelona.
Belgium and Hungary have swapped slots with the latter round now taking place from 1-3 August ahead of the summer break, preceded by the Belgian Grand Prix a week earlier from 25-27 July.
The season run-in remains the same as in 2024 with the Dutch GP marking the end of the summer break on the weekend of 29-31 August, followed by a trip to Monza a week later across 5-7 September.
Azerbaijan and Singapore however have been split in 2025 with the latter race held from 3-5 October, in order to eradicate the near month long gap that exists this season between Singapore and Texas, USA, rounds.
The Texas, Mexico and Brazil triple-header of 2024 won’t be repeated in 2025 with the Brazil round moved to a standalone slot of 7-9 November, ahead of the triple-header finale beginning in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving weekend of 20-22 November.
Qatar and Abu Dhabi follow on 28-30 November and 5-7 December to wrap up the season.
F1 CEO and President, Stefano Domenicali believes that heading into the 75th anniversary year of F1, the “legacy and experience” has allowed the creation of “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.”
FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem added that the calendar “is a further illustration of our collective mission of meeting sustainability objectives through the regionalisation of events.”
Next season will also see at least one major driver switch as Lewis Hamilton joins Ferrari from Mercedes.
