The 2027 Formula 1 season has been announced with a calendar that includes 24 races and a significant increase in sprint events, which will rise from six to ten. Among the novelties is the Monaco Grand Prix, which will host a sprint for the first time on June 6.
The calendar will kick off on March 14 with the Bahrain Grand Prix, which opens the season in a double weekend with Saudi Arabia. Later, the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne will take place as the third event of the season.
A dynamic and diverse calendar
The competition will first travel to Asia with races in Japan and China, before stopping in Miami and Montreal in May. The race in Montreal is scheduled for May 21, thus avoiding a clash with the Indy 500.
After its European debut in Monaco, the competition will return to Portugal, to the Algarve circuit, on June 20. The British Grand Prix at Silverstone will follow on July 4, with other races in Austria, Belgium, and Hungary closing the first half of the season.
Expansion of sprint events
The format of sprint events has expanded to include races in Bahrain, Australia, Japan, and Abu Dhabi, with the aim of increasing excitement and action during the race weekend. Monaco, despite its unknown capacity for overtaking, has been selected to join this new dynamic.
F1 has stated that since its introduction in 2021, sprint events have seen a 12% increase in viewership, with 75% of fans believing that these add value to the race weekends.
