At 24 grands prix, F1 chief Stefano Domenicali says the calendar has reached capacity.
Stefano Domenicali has stated that 24 races is “the maximum” number that Formula 1 can handle in a single year as the calendar continues to expand.
The arrival of the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023, while Qatar and China return, will mean a record-breaking calendar with 24 venues in 21 countries hosting a race across a nine-month period. That figure is a dramatic rise from even four or five years ago. Interest is at an all-time high in terms of hosting a race with promoters lining up looking to strike a deal with F1, but the sport’s CEO has insisted they are at capacity.as reported by Motorsport-Magazin.com“The venues are chosen around this number. There are many factors that are taken into account, but the number of grands prix is clear. At 24, the maximum is reached.
“The market demands this number of races. We used to have 15 races, but that was a different situation. There’s a lot of interest now, and hopefully it’ll get even bigger in the future.” The Concorde Agreement limits the number of races per season to 25 but with that set be renewed from the 2026 season onwards, those terms could be renegotiated.
