A second race in Saudi Arabia – at the Qiddiya Circuit under construction on the outskirts of Riyadh – would also make rotational events more likely, particularly given Domenicali has insisted that the sport does not want to go over 24 events. “I think that we are in a good momentum to make sure that the strategy for the future is even stronger, and that’s why we are so confident about the fact that this will help to enhance our platform on the sport, on social and business perspective.” The 2025 season – which features no new races from 2024 or 2023 – starts on 16 March with the Australian Grand Prix.
