There will be 24 races for a very rich and thick calendar, with new entries and welcome returns. Due to the early closure of the world championship, Formula One will stop a little less and will start on March 5 with the now customary opening GP in Bahrain. Soon after, like this year, it will be Saudi Arabia's turn. The big news on the calendar is the fourth stage. In fact, immediately after Melbourne, scheduled as the third stage in April, Formula One officially gives welcome back to China. It will take place in Shanghai on April 16, to then close the month with the Baku Grand Prix in Azerbaijan.
Imola is there, but not in April
The novelty of the new calendar also concerns the various timings. Very confirmed in the month of May Miami which this year will anticipate the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

The Monaco GP then, afterwards months of negotiation, is reconfirmed on the calendar for next season as well.
