The 2024 season is over, heading towards 2025! After a new coronation for Max Verstappen, the 20 Formula 1 drivers will return to the circuits in March 2025, near Australia. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the competition, the organizing authorities explain that they have placed emphasis on the regionalization of the Grands Prix. All 24 races will be watched exclusively on CANAL+ channels.

This is the essential thing to start the 2025 season: the official Grand Prix calendar. For the 75th edition of the competition, the FIA ​​and Formula 1 have retained the 24 events on the program this season. However, some new features should be noted in this 2025 calendar, starting with an inaugural “new”.

All 24 Grands Prix will be watched exclusively on CANAL+ channels.

Melbourne finds its place

This year, the season will not start in Bahrain, as in the previous four editions. The FIA ​​has opted for a return to Australia, in Melbourne, from March 14 to 16. The Albert Park circuit therefore regains its “historic” status as the inaugural Grand Prix which it acquired in 1996. Canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Australian GP had, by following, gave up its place in the opening race of the season. It is therefore a return to basics carried out by the organizing bodies, which will also aim to accentuate the regionalization of weekends in the calendar.

Asia, Europe, Americas… Several seasons in one year

For this next season, the emphasis has been placed on the regulation of geographic movements. The competition will therefore start in Australia, before heading to China (March 21-23) and Japan (April 4-6). Still in Asia, the Grands Prix of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were placed in April, after the month of Ramadan (March 2025), a way of avoiding postponements like in 2024. Despite accentuated regionalization, the paddock will always have to make long trips, notably for the Miami GP, organized between the Asian tour and that of Europe. Same configuration with the Canadian Grand Prix, still in the middle of the European campaign.

A European season, still without

Concerning the tour on the old continent, no major changes this season. It will begin with the Imola Grand Prix (Italy) from May 16 to 18, and will end in Hungary (August 1 to 3), just before the summer break. Still no race in France on the horizon, but the traditional Monaco Grand Prix, from May 23 to 25, at the heart of a sequence of three races in as many weekends: Imola – Monaco – Barcelona.

Attractive Triple-Headers

In 2025, three “Triple-Headers” will be put in place, as many as in 2024. As a reminder, these Triple-Headers are the fact of seeing three GP weekends follow one another, without interruption. To put it simply: a promise of three races in 15 days. A frantic pace for the drivers, synonymous with a spectacle for the followers.

Then comes a series of three historic GPs: Imola (May 16-18), Monaco (May 23-25) and Barcelona (May 30 – June 1)… Enough to delight Formula 1 fans. Finally, the season ends. will conclude with the bling-bling Triple-Header: Las Vegas (November 20-22), Doha (November 28-30) then Abu Dhabi (December 5-7), on the same pattern as in 2024.
