Approved for the next Formula 1 season, there are also Imola and Monza
The FIA and Formula 1 have announced the calendar for the 2024 season following approval by the World Motorsport Council. There will be 24 GPs, never so many. The first big news is that the first two initial races (in Bahrain on 2 March) and in Jeddah (in Saudi Arabia, 9 March) will take place on Saturdays to respect the beginning of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims.
Among the returns there is that of China (in Shanghai, 21 April) and that of Imola (19 May) which this year was canceled due to bad weather. The Italian GP in Monza will take place on 1st September, while the last round of the World Championship will be on 8th December in Abu Dhabi.
In the composition of the calendar – explains a joint note – the grouping by geographical areas was crucial to limit travel costs. Important date changes for Japan and Azerbaijan: Suzuka will no longer be in autumn but in spring (April 7) while Baku will move on September 15 to follow the regional criterion.
