Canadian Grand Prix Rescheduled to May from 2026
The change aims to reduce travel and environmental impact, aligning with F1's sustainability goals.
- The Canadian Grand Prix will move to the third or fourth weekend of May starting in 2026, shifting from its current June slot.
- This rescheduling is part of F1's efforts to regionalize the calendar, minimizing transatlantic travel and its carbon footprint.
- The decision has been made in agreement with Canadian authorities and the race promoter, but still requires FIA approval.
- Montreal's race will likely pair with the Miami Grand Prix, which is held in early May, enhancing logistical efficiency.
- F1's broader calendar adjustments include changes to the Japanese, Azerbaijan, and Qatar Grand Prix dates to improve sustainability.
