Formula 1 calendar changes focus on reduced environmental footprint

Formula 1 has confirmed that Madrid will host its inaugural Grand Prix on 11^th to 13^th September 2025, replacing Imola as the final European event in a 24-race calendar.

The 2025 calendar has remained at 24 races and has reflected further adjustments aimed at improving logistical efficiency and reducing the sport’s environmental footprint.

From Monaco on 5^th to 7^th June to Madrid in mid-September, all races have been set to take place within Europe. The next race after Madrid will be in Azerbaijan on 25^th to 27^th September, beginning the final intercontinental phase of the season.

The Canadian Grand Prix has been moved to 22^nd to 24^th May, placing it immediately after the Miami Grand Prix on 1^st to 3rd May. This change has been made to allow direct equipment transfers and reduce freight distances. As a result, the Monaco Grand Prix has shifted to early June.

The 2025 season will start in Melbourne on 6^th to 8^th March. The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix will take place in April due to the timing of Ramadan. The Chinese and Japanese rounds have been spaced two weeks apart in March, in contrast to the single-week gap in 2024.

The British Grand Prix has been scheduled for 3^rd to 5^th July, and the Dutch Grand Prix will make its final appearance at Zandvoort on 21^st to 23rd August. The Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona will proceed on 12^th to 14^th June as part of its existing contract.

The final part of the season will consist of two triple-header sequences. The United States, Mexico, and Brazil Grands Prix will run consecutively in late October and early November. The Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix will complete the season, with the finale set for 4^th to 6^th December.

These calendar revisions align with Formula 1’s broader strategy to support sustainability goals ahead of the 2026 regulation changes, which include the introduction of power units running on 100% sustainable fuel.
