The Formula 1 season is set to enter one of its busiest stretches ever, with 11 races remaining on the calendar, starting with the Italian Grand Prix this weekend at the iconic Monza circuit. This race, scheduled for September 6 at 17:00, marks the beginning of a hectic period for teams and drivers in the sport’s history since its inception in 1950.
A quick glance at the calendar reveals that the remaining races will be packed into just 14 weeks, with the championship concluding on December 6 in Abu Dhabi.
Upcoming Formula 1 Race Schedule

Following the race in Monza, the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the new circuit in Madrid will take place. This will be followed by a week-long break, leading into three consecutive weekends of racing, each series separated by a week.
The first series will feature races in Azerbaijan, Malaysia, and Singapore, with subsequent series including events in the U.S., Mexico, and Brazil. The season is set to conclude with races in Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
A Busier Schedule than 2020
Statistical comparisons indicate that even the 2020 season, affected by the pandemic and hosting 17 races in just 24 weeks, had its busiest weeks front-loaded with 10 races in the first 13 weeks. However, that season included two circuits hosting two consecutive weekends, which somewhat alleviated the pressure on teams.
This year, each race will occur at a different venue, and nine of the races will require extended travel outside of Europe, creating a distinctly demanding schedule.
