In preparing for the start of next season, as well as the news that concerns the 24 races and the increased number of Sprint, la Formula One keep working.
The new calendar
During the past week, with the championship stop, the FIA communicated the new long calendar for 2023. In fact, we are talking about 24 races starting on March 5th and stopping on November 26th. With the current season that, due to the World Cup, turns first when finished, it was decided to bring forward the start for 2023 by about two weeks, usually always typical in the third week of March.
Pre-season test, there's an announcement
Precisely for these reasons the teams will have to adapt to this type of change, as well as Liberty Media to organize test days in view of the next season, but in this regard there are important news. The official announcement came today: the pre-season tests will take place in February, from 23 to 25, on the Sakhir track. We therefore remain in Bahrain, the same track that will prepare to host the first race of the year.
