F1 Calendar

With the 2023 F1 Calendar now ratified by the World Motorsport Council, we have a full and accurate picture of the schedule of F1 races for the coming year. High level updates are the announcement of the 2023 Sprint race schedule, cancellation (without replacement) of the Chinese Grand Prix, and the return to Qatar for sporting action of a non-footballing variety.

Monaco Gets Stay of Execution

This, frankly, is brilliant news as it means we get to send more lucky people to Monaco for F1 race weekend. Sometimes we get to go too; and, through years of practice, we have managed to tell our loved-ones that this is very much a work trip whilst also keeping a straight face.

Anyone that tells you Monaco is a boring race is talking nonsense. Its brilliant, and especially if you’re in the stands. In 2022, on the way back to Nice, my colleague asked “what’s that black stuff all over your face?”. Turns out it was rubber, or oil, or brake dust, or some mixture of highly-toxic oil-based residue. Anyway, the point is that THAT is how close you are to the action at Monaco!

Looks like it’ll be on the calendar until 2025. So we’ve got three more years to enjoy it!

As ever, expect some changes along the way!

Chinese Grand Prix cancelled

For those paying cursory attention to global news, this will not come as any surprise. Its also why Grand Prix Grand Tours have not offered this package since it being announced on the 2023 Calendar.

For the last few years China has pursued a policy of ‘zero-covid’, which resulted in a string of lockdowns well into 2022. As the world opened up, China stayed locked-down, a juxtaposition not lost on the Chinese population. Cue civil unrest and an ending of lock-down. Mix this with low vaccination rates, lower natural immunity, a health system not able to cope with a large number of hospitalisations, and you will quickly conclude that hosting a major sporting event is a little foolhardy.

We extend our hopes and prayers to the people of China and hope they can look to Formula 1 events when normality returns.

With the original F1 Grand Prix Calendar published later than usual (November rather than August), it has certainly been worth the wait. Despite the heavy disruption we are seeing new events such as the Saudi Grand Prix being added to an already jam-packed F1 Race Schedule. With new additions to the F1 Grand Prix Schedule, we have also seen some losses, with Australia being dropped for a second time and Vietnam never happening at all. As the season evolves, and the calendar changes, we will keep our F1 Race Calendar updated as often as we can. See the tables below for all the detailed and up-to-date info.
