Formula 1 plans rotation system for European Grand Prix races

Formula 1 may reduce the number of European stages on its calendar as the sport looks to introduce a rotation system for its races, with certain circuits potentially hosting events every two years.

Formula 1 officials are considering rotating European Grand Prix venues, allowing some races to take place on alternate years. Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of Formula 1, shared this development, revealing that further details would be announced "very, very soon," Caliber.Az reports citing local media.

"We will have some news to share very, very soon regarding the possibility, in the mid-term, to rotate some European Grand Prix, and some other new options coming later. This is something we will clarify in due course," Domenicali said.

"There is a great demand from new venues that want to host Formula 1 races," the F1 CEO noted.

Domenicali emphasized that the selection of new venues will be carefully considered, balancing economic benefits and the potential for growth in emerging markets.

“We believe the balance we have in terms of numbers is the right one,” Domenicali said. “Twenty-four is the balance number. I do believe all the proposals on our table are giving us the possibility to make even better choices for our future,” Domenicali added.
