As the 2024 Formula 1 season revs up for its most extended run, racing enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate the return of thrilling battles and dramatic moments. The upcoming season promises to be a spectacle, featuring a record-breaking 24 races across 21 countries. Here’s everything you need to know before the lights go out at the first race in Bahrain.
The F1 2024 Calendar
The 2024 season boasts the longest F1 calendar in its history, with 24 races planned across 21 countries. Notable inclusions are the return of the Chinese Grand Prix, which faced Covid-related cancellations, and the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, making a comeback after flooding led to the cancellation of the 2023 race.
Additionally, Las Vegas retains its Saturday race slot, while Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will host Saturday races during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Despite this expansion, some drivers, including champion Max Verstappen, express concerns about the toll of a gruelling 24-race season.
Verstappen, the current champion, feels that having 24 races is “a bit much,” a sentiment shared by British driver Lando Norris, who finds the same number “quite a handful.” Norris added, “If I had to pick the perfect number, it’d probably be closer to 20.”
Sprint Races: A Dash of Excitement
Hold on to your seats for six sprint races this season, featuring thrilling sprints in China, Miami, Austria, the US, Brazil, and Qatar. China and Miami debut as hosts for these electrifying races.
“I think six sprint races is good,” said Charles Leclerc.
“To have one free practice and go straight to qualifying is something I enjoy.”
The FIA is exploring changes to make sprint races more viewer-friendly, with a proposed shift of qualifying for the sprint to Friday.

F1 Driver Contracts and Potential Shake-Up
The majority of drivers enter this season with only one year remaining on their contracts.
Keep an eye on drivers like Sergio Perez, Carlos Sainz, and Fernando Alonso, whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the season.
Charles Leclerc has made a commitment to continue with Ferrari, joining the ranks of Verstappen, the Mercedes duo of Hamilton and George Russell, and McLaren’s Norris and Oscar Piastri, who all have contracts extending beyond the current season.
What are double-headers and triple-headers?
To handle the high number of races this season, Formula 1 is organizing Grands Prix on consecutive weekends whenever they can. When there are two races on back-to-back weekends, it’s called a double-header, and if there are three, it’s known as a triple-header.

Additional Changes Introduced
The 2024 season brings exciting changes to enhance the sport. After facing extreme heat challenges in the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, a nifty scoop will be installed in the cockpit to keep drivers cool.
Plans for a tyre blanket ban are temporarily on hold, and looking ahead, the FIA puts a hold on 2026 car development.
A statement read: “The commission agreed that no work may be carried out on the development of a car for the 2026 season before the start of 2025.”
