When does the Formula One (F1) season start?
The world’s biggest and most famous motor racing event Formula One, continues to attract an army of fans from all over the planet. Known for high-octane excitement, crashes, thrills, and spills – drama is always guaranteed with Formula One and the stakes continue to get higher for those involved in the sport.
Global appeal is one of the key components for Formula One, with 21 races taking place on the calendar – across 5 continents. 11 of the races take place in Europe at iconic venues such as Monza, Monaco, and Silverstone whilst the other 10 races stretch across the globe to Shanghai, Singapore, and Melbourne.
Traditionally, the Formula One calendar gets underway in March (with the Melbourne race kicking off proceedings) and runs through to November.
The 2020 F1 calendar has been decimated by COVID 19 however and a reduced calendar of just 17 races has been agreed – with every contest taking place behind closed doors.
