F1 will have only 23 races, will not hold the Chinese Grand Prix

Max Verstappen will start on pole at the Canadian Grand Prix.

The decision was made due to the issue of the pandemic.

The Formula 1 announced that it will not replace the Chinese Grand Prix, that will not be held for the fourth consecutive year due to the coronavirus pandemic coronavirusand that, therefore, the calendar for the next 2023 season will have 23 races.

In December, when the appointment in China was cancelled, F1 left open the possibility of finding a replacement to reach 24 races, in what would have been the longest calendar in the history of the competition, but, finally, not it has been like that
