RACE CALENDAR
MONTREAL, QUEBEC - JUNE 18: A general view of the opening lap
The 2024 Formula 1 World Championship calendar has broken cover, with a
run of 24 races that begins in Bahrain and finishes in Abu Dhabi. So
what are the main differences for this upcoming campaign?
The season begins with two Saturday races
For the first time since 1985, a full World Championship Grand Prix will
take place on a day other than Sunday this year when the lights go out
for the much-anticipated inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix at 10pm local
time on Saturday 18 November 2023.

In 2024, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will join Las Vegas in making it three Saturday races on the calendar, the former two accommodating Ramadan, a
period of fasting, prayer and reflection observed by Muslims around the
world, which begins on Sunday March 10 – one day after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
It means everything will shift forward a day for the opening two events,
with the media day taking place on Wednesday, the opening two free
practice sessions on Thursday, FP3 and qualifying on Friday and the main
event – the Grand Prix – on Saturday.

Races move position to support regionalisation
Formula 1 calendars are complicated things, with some races needing to
be at certain times of year otherwise it’ll be too hot or too cold to go racing.
It makes slotting each race into the calendar an interesting challenge.
In the pursuit of a more regionalised calendar, which in turn will make
the sport more sustainable, three races have moved position for 2024.
The Japanese Grand Prix is the biggest mover, switching from a September
date to April – in the heart of the country’s beautiful cherry blossom season.

Freight can now move from Australia to Japan and then onto China to
improve the efficiencies of travelling.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix moves from an April slot to September and is
the first of a back-to-back with Singapore.
And finally, Qatar shifts from October to the first weekend of December
as a stop-off from Las Vegas on the way to Abu Dhabi.

Formula 1 set for bumper 24-race calendar
China is set to make its first appearance on the F1 calendar since 2019
– its absence down to the ongoing difficulties presented by Covid-19.
That means F1 will have a bumper 24 races – with the traditional
three-week summer break remaining in August, plus an additional
three-week pause between Singapore and Austin and a two-week breather
between Brazil and Las Vegas.
