Formula 1 will once again grace television screens and racetracks alike in 2024, as the world-famous racing series is scheduled for another action-packed season.
The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has confirmed all of the events for the upcoming F1 year, showing that the series will be returning to a record 24-race season, following three years of reduced timetables as a result of Covid restrictions.
“There is huge interest and continued demand for Formula 1, and I believe this calendar strikes the right balance between traditional races and new and existing venues,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1.

China is the notable addition to the roster this year, as it has finally ceased the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions that resulted in its venue being pulled from last year’s calendar.
South Africa was at one point also shaping up to be a contender for the 2024 F1 season, which would have seen the race returning to Gauteng’s Kyalami circuit for the first time since 1993.
While no official explanation was provided by F1, outlets have attributed it to one of two main reasons – the cost of updating Kyalami to meet modern regulations, and South Africa’s controversial political stance siding with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
