The 2024 F1 championship will take in a record 24 races, with six of those adopting the divisive F1 Sprint format.
Opening proceedings is the Bahrain Grand Prix, a Saturday night race following hot of the heels of three days of pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit in late February.
From there, it’s a quick hop over to Saudi Arabia for Round 2, another Saturday night encounter, before the circus heads to Australia.
Albert Park will again host the Australian Grand Prix, this time as Round 3 of the championship, with Formula 2 and Formula 3 once again leading the support programme.
In a change to the traditional flow of the F1 calendar for 2024, Japan comes in as Round 4 as the sport stays in the Asia/Pacific region, heading next to China.
After being absent since 2019, the Shanghai International Circuit will witness the first F1 Sprint of the season.
Then, it’s off to Miami before finally heading into Europe with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in mid-May – an event cancelled last year.
From there, it’s a largely traditional run through to Abu Dhabi at year’s end, with Monaco followed by Canada, then Spain, Austria, Britain, Hungary, and Belgium before the summer break.
F1 returns for Round 15 in late August, the Dutch Grand Prix, before heading to Italy a week later.
Then comes Azerbaijan, a week before Singapore, ahead of four races in succession in the Americas.
The first of those is the United States Grand Prix, then comes Mexico City, Sao Paulo, and Las Vegas as Round 22.
Qatar will host the penultimate race on December 1 before the season ends a week later in Abu Dhabi.
Australian fans can watch all the action on Fox Sports, or its streaming service Kayo, while the Australian Grand Prix will be broadcast on Network 10 – the only event of the year with free-to-air coverage.
Supporting F1 throughout the season will be a mixture of local events, alongside the Formula 2 Championship, Formula 3 Championship, and the F1 Academy.
