F1 Schedule 2024: Full calendar with all you need to know about every grand prix

The 2024 F1 season is a historic one, with a record-breaking 24-race schedule planned across the globe.

The season roared into life with a slightly earlier start date than usual. The first two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been shifted to a Saturday night run instead of the traditional Sunday to accommodate the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began on March 11.

The 2024 season also saw the return of the Chinese Grand Prix to the F1 calendar. The race, which was previously cancelled for a fourth consecutive year in 2023 due to strict COVID-19 measures in the country, took place on April 21.
