Formula 1 has been talking on the move to a “regionalized” seasonal calendar for a few years now, in hopes of improving logistics and operations reduce associated carbon emissions with shipping a racing series globally. Unfortunately, 2025 racing schedule Seems to be less organized than ever and makes a grueling international trip for riders and teams alike. May will see four races and there will be three transatlantic trips to North America, two of which take place over just one weekend. The series remains committed to 24 races, it’s simply too much.
The season opened again for Australia as it should have. There’s a pretty good regional start to the season with China and Japan up next. Things started falling apart after a trip to the Middle East to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with a one-time trip halfway around the world to Miami. After a quick back-to-back trio performance in Europe, the circus troupe jumped across the pond again for a weekend of performances in Canada. The trip to Singapore before flying to Austin, Texas was also quite an epic trip.
F1 also seems to have not learned a lesson from 2023 and pushed the Las Vegas race to the end of November. It’s very cold in the desert, you idiot.
With 24 races on the calendar, teams get a brief respite of just two months off-season to complete development of the 2026 cars. There is no reason why the F1 calendar should extend from mid-month 3 to December. There used to be a mid-season break of several weeks, but now that time is gone to pursue more race wins for Max Verstappen.
There are only 52 weekends in a year. Do we really need to race F1 on almost half of them?
