Stefano Domenicali has confirmed that the F1 calendar will be capped at 24 grands prix - ahead of a bumper 2023 season.
F1 have already announced a record-breaking 24-race season next year as they aim to capitalise on the huge growth in popularity in the sport and target a new fanbase. Las Vegas will host one of three races in the US, while a return to the calendar had been planned for China and Qatar after Covid-19 restrictions and the FIFA World Cup.
But the Chinese Grand Prix, scheduled to be the fourth race of the 2023 season in April, looks set to be cancelled amidst the strict zero-Covid policy in the country. And while F1 chairman and CEO Domenicali has not officially postponed the race, the 2023 calendar could lose a race that was set to return for the first time since 2019.
