When is the next Formula 1 race and where will it be?
The FIA has regionalised some of the F1 calendar to enhance sustainability, like moving the Japanese Grand Prix to April as part of the Asian leg, followed by the return of the Chinese Grand Prix. The Qatar Grand Prix shifted to penultimate to aid logistics for the Abu Dhabi finale and to mitigate heat issues. The 2024 F1 season will see the Chinese Grand Prix as round five, marking its comeback after skipping due to the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrating both the historic 2019 1000th F1 race and 20 years of F1 in China since 2004. Noteworthy past winners include Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso, and Michael Schumacher, with Lewis Hamilton holding the record for most wins at the Chinese Grand Prix. The upcoming 2024 Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai International Circuit will feature key sessions and races from April 19-21, impacting local and US timings. The circuit, designed by Hermann Tilke, was a $450 million project built on former rice paddy fields, greatly transforming the swampy landscape. Photo credit: Andy Hone / Motorsport Images.
