The 2023 Formula 1 (F1) season saw Max Verstappen and Red Bull showcase their superiority over 22 race weekends. The Belgian-Dutch star’s mighty Bull snagged 19 wins and 21 podiums, with him winning the Drivers’ Championship with a whopping 575 points. Red Bull also thoroughly dominated the Constructors’ Championship, securing the top spot with 860 points and finishing 451 points clear of their arch-rivals Mercedes.

All the exploits and disappointments of the 2023 F1 season, however, are now firmly in the rearview mirror, as a new and hopeful season is just around the corner. With less than two months to go before the top 20 F1 drivers in the world take to the tracks, let us take a quick look at the 2024 F1 season calendar in full.

F1 2024 Race Schedule

F1 will travel to Sakhir, Bahrain, for the season opener on February 29, with the first race of the season scheduled for March 2. The following week, on March 7, the second race of the 2024 F1 season will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Both of those races will take place under the floodlights on Saturday to accommodate the Muslim holy period of Ramadan, which commences on March 10.

For the first time in F1 history, there will be 24 races on the calendar.
