Max Verstappen leading the F1 Bahrain GP, the 2023 season opener
Formula 1 has expanded in regions outside Europe in the past few years. The Middle East and the USA are prime examples. There will be four races on the Arabian Peninsula and three races in the USA in F1 2023 Calendar. The 2023 season of Formula 1 also features the longest race calendar ever – with 23 races. If the Chinese Grand Prix hadn’t been canceled, there would have been 24 – the maximum allowed number currently.
In contrast, the first official season in 1950 only had 7 races. By 1975, this number had doubled to 14. In 2000, this rose to 17 races, and now it’s at 23 races. So, the sport has been continually expanding since its inception and has grown in other regions. The current calendar, on a broader level, has six races in the Americas and 7 in Asia.
But even now, there is space for the classic races, which remain as popular as ever – Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, Spa, etc. But it’s fair to say that, at least in 2023, the most anticipated race is in America, and the first edition will be held in 2023 – the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is also unique amongst all races for its scheduling. Unlike every other race on the calendar, the Las Vegas GP will be held on Saturday night.

One of the most common points of criticism about Formula 1 calendars is the perceived inefficiency. For example, in 2023, the season started in the Arabian Peninsula. After that, it will go to Australia, then to Azerbaijan (which is closer to Arabia than Australia is) then go to the United States, and then come back to Europe.
Even in the middle, this remains a factor. In June, Formula 1 will travel from Spain to Canada, then to Austria, and back in Europe. Of course, there’s a variety of factors at play – climate, the venue’s schedule, current contracts, etc. To counter this inefficiency and help reduce the sport’s carbon footprint, F1 has been planning to split the schedule into a regionalized calendar. But it’s a long process.
The season also has two rather large gaps between races. One of them is the summer break in August, but the first is in April because of the cancellation of the Chinese Grand Prix. Below given is the full schedule of the whole calendar, including the race timings in the local time zones:
