The FIA and F1 have released the calendar for the new season of the Formula One World Championship 2025 on Wednesday, January 1, with a few changes in comparison to the last season. The 75th season of the Formula One will begin with the Australian Grand Prix taking back the season opener spot after the races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been moved to April because of Ramadan coming in March this year.

These two Middle Eastern races are also going to be held on Sunday instead of Saturday in the previous F1 season, while the Chinese Grand Prix will happen in March before the Japanese Grand Prix, becoming the second race of the calendar. Moreover, the 2025 season of F1 is going to begin two weeks later than the recent start dates, which will allow the teams to put together a better car before the pre-season testing, set to go down in Bahrain from February 26 to 28.

After races in Belgium and Hungary in July and August, the summer break of four weeks will result in the mandatory closure of factories of each team. Meanwhile, the six sprint races in the F1 2025 calendar will happen in China, Miami, Belgium, the USA, Brazil, and Qatar after Austria got bumped for Belgium, and it will allow the racers to collect additional points apart from the ones they earn in qualifying and races.
