After hosting the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix in 2021, F1 returns to Lusail following a year’s absence. The circuit has completed renovation work to enhance the experience for drivers and racegoers, including the construction of new state-of-the-art facilities and an increase in grandstand capacity to 40,000. The venue also offers a larger public fan zone and new VIP areas. Lusail International Circuit now has 50 pit boxes, the highest amount of any track on the F1 calendar, and 180,000 square meters of green space. Safety measures have been improved with the installation of new debris fencing and the circuit meets the standards of both the FIA and FIM governing bodies through 2031.
