F1 releases record-breaking 2023 calendar featuring 24 races
The 2023 Formula One season will be the longest in history with a calendar featuring a record-breaking 24 races. The season is set to start in Bahrain on Saturday, March 2nd and will feature several new tracks along with several returning races.
The record number of races is largely due to the addition of several new venues to the schedule, including Las Vegas, Miami, and the Saudi Arabian street circuit in Jeddah. The Mexican Grand Prix will also return after a one-year absence, while Melbourne, Australia, and Suzuka, Japan, will be back after two years away.
The 2023 season will also be the last for several drivers, including George Russell and Lando Norris, whose contracts are up for renewal. The Silver Arrows have announced the signing of ex-Williams driver Alex Albon, leaving a seat open that may be filled by Mercedes AMG F1 Team protégé Nyck de Vries.
