Domenicali: “25 GPs could be organised, but 24 is the right number” | FP

24: the record number

The 2024 season schedule has hit a record number of 24 grand prix scheduled, a very high figure and often disputed due to the excessive commitment required of drivers and team members. The championship is only just beginning, but the tune hasn't changed for 2025 either, given that 24 race weekends have once again been made official for the next world championship.

Regionalized calendars

Just like this year, the next championship will also see a 'regionalised' F1, with all the European races concentrated in the summer period before moving to America in the autumn, while Australia will return to kick off the season before the stages Asian and Middle Eastern: “While our focus is on the overall stability of Formula 1, on the other we have a shared duty towards the environment and the health and well-being of traveling staff”declared the President of the FIA Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

25 races in one year?

Yet there has already been no shortage of first rumors about a possible further extension of the events scheduled for 2026 and beyond 25 races. However, the President and CEO of Formula 1 intervened in this regard Stefano Domenicaliinterviewed by the former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi on the microphones of Canal Plus: “Just think that in some years we had problems doing seventeen grands prix and today we do 24 – he declared – I think that 24 is the right number, compared to the interest that Formula 1 has on a global level. Technically we could do 25, but I think 24 is the right number“.
