The following month F1 confirmed the race would not be replaced.Īnother race was cancelled after the season began. However the first of these, the Chinese Grand Prix, which was originally slated for an April return, was cancelled in December due to ongoing concerns over the Covid-19 pandemic.

The addition of three events not on the 2022 schedule initially swelled the calendar to its record 24 rounds. Doubt was also cast over the futures of the races in Monaco and Belgium, but both returned, though the latter only earned a one-year extension for 2023.

This was the French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard, whose contract was not renewed. One race which took place in 2022 did not return the following year. However two rounds were cancelled, reducing the total to 22, the same number held in the previous two seasons.
