Formula 1 officially announced the race schedule for the 2025 season, and it yet again includes 24 race weekends.

Many drivers and team principals complained about the demanding F1 schedule at the end of 2023 and before the start of the 2024 season.

It was clear that hardly anything could be changed about this year (2024), but F1 didn't really listen to them, even when it came to the schedule for 2025.

On the other hand, it is good news for fans who seek as much on-track action as possible. The 2025 will include 24 race weekends. It isn't yet clear whether there will be any sprint weekends.

The F1 paddock will yet again visit five of the seven world continents. No new race will be added to the calendar, though the Spanish Grand Prix will notably take place in Barcelona for the last time before being moved to Madrid in 2026.

The biggest change is probably the Australian Grand Prix, which was moved again to the beginning of the calendar as the season opener.

Bahrain Grand Prix, which was the season opener four times since 2020, will be moved from March to April (along with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix) due to Ramadan.

The traditional summer break will remain in August. As is usual, F1 drivers and their teams will get three weekends off before bouncing back into the action.

The break is scheduled between the Hungarian Grand Prix (1.-3. August) and the Dutch Grand Prix (29.-31. August.) F1 president Stefano Domenicali said:

"2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and it's that legacy and experience that allows us to deliver such a strong calendar."

"Once again, we'll visit 24 incredible venues around the world, delivering top class racing, hospitality, and entertainment, which will be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide."

"We're grateful to the FIA, our promoters, host city partners, and all the related ASNs for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule and securing what promises to be another fantastic year for Formula 1."

"I would also like to pay tribute to our F1 teams and drivers, the heroes of our sport, and our fans around the world for continuing to follow Formula 1 with such incredible enthusiasm."
