Overview

• Domenicali said Portugal, Turkey and Germany’s Hockenheim have formally approached F1 about hosting future grands prix.
• He stressed the calendar is effectively capped around 24 races under the Concorde framework, leaving very few available slots.
• Zandvoort’s final race in 2026 could free one place, with limited rotation options under discussion that may involve Barcelona.
• Prospective hosts must demonstrate strong financial backing and satisfy F1’s carbon‑neutral target for 2030 to gain approval.
• Projects in new markets, including a second Saudi event and proposed races in Rwanda and Thailand, currently take precedence over potential returns.
