The 2023 Formula 1 season has drawn to a close, with many starting to look towards next year for their F1 fix. This year’s season saw 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.
When is the next F1 race?
The next F1 race will take place on 2 March 2024, as F1 travels to Bahrain for the season opener. Pre-season testing starts in Bahrain on Wednesday 21 February and will run until Friday 23 February, with FP1 for the Bahrain GP starting one week later.
