Formula 1 is set to expand its calendar to 25 races: here’s what’s coming.
The Formula 1 calendar continues to evolve, balancing global expansion with what fans love most — the return of historic venues. In recent hours, strong paddock rumors suggest that a major comeback could already happen from the 2027 season, bringing the new generation of F1 cars to a “new” country once again.
New F1 Grand Prix in 2027: Negotiations at an Advanced Stage
Talks are reportedly at an advanced stage, with the parties close to a multi-year agreement, also considering the strong success of past events. Importantly, this wouldn’t be a temporary solution or a calendar filler, but a stable entry designed to ensure continuity and strengthen Formula 1’s presence in a strategically important region.

It’s also worth noting that just a few days ago, Pierre Gasly hinted that “next year we will have 25 Grands Prix,” further confirming that the calendar is set to expand to a record number of races.

No more suspense: the Grand Prix expected to return is Turkey, with Istanbul Park ready to welcome Formula 1 back on a permanent basis. The deal could reportedly last up to seven years.
This comeback would also carry strong sporting value. The circuit has always been appreciated by drivers and fans for its technical and exciting layout, capable of producing unpredictable and intense races — as seen in 2020 and 2021.
Its return would help balance an increasingly global calendar, preserving Formula 1’s identity while continuing to explore new markets. While some recent additions like Miami or Madrid have sparked debate, Istanbul is widely loved for its layout and racing quality.
An official announcement could arrive very soon, possibly within the next few days (with rumors pointing even to Friday, April 24). A clear sign that negotiations are in their final stages, with only formal details left before confirmation.
