F1: Australian Grand Prix to Kick Off 2025 Season as Formula One Unveils 24-Race Calendar

The 2025 Formula One season schedule has been released, promising a dynamic global mix of races. In March, Australia takes the opening slot, replacing Saudi Arabia. Notably, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia's Grands Prix move to April to accommodate Ramadan. The cherished August summer break spans three weekends, between Hungary and Zandvoort. Building upon the geographical balance introduced in 2024, the 2025 calendar aims to provide a diverse and equitable distribution of races. Japan kicks off the action in April, followed by iconic stops in Australia and China. The summer months will predominantly feature races in Europe, while the autumn months will see the focus shift to the Americas. Rounding off the season with a flourish, back-to-back races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi promise an exhilarating conclusion to what is sure to be a thrilling year of Formula One action.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said: "The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar, approved by the World Motor Sport Council, is a further illustration of our collective mission of meeting sustainability objectives through the regionalisation of events. While our focus is on the overall stability of Formula 1, we also have a shared duty to the environment and to the health and well-being of travelling staff. “

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: ”2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and it’s that legacy and experience that allows us to deliver such a strong calendar. Once again, we’ll visit 24 incredible venues around the world, delivering top-class racing, hospitality, and entertainment, which will be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide.”
