When is the next race, full race schedule and how to watch it on TV

Max Verstappen continues to win races and continues to break records. His victory at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 3 marks a record 10 consecutive victories for the Red Bull driver, who is surely just a few races away from clinching his third consecutive drivers’ title.

With a 145-point lead over his closest rival, teammate Sergio Perez, he can theoretically win the title at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix at the end of this month.

For this to be the case, he would have to lead by 172 points after Suzuka. If Verstappen continues his winning run and wins in Singapore and Japan, Perez would need to score more than 23 points in those races to keep Verstappen waiting.

A more realistic time would be the Qatar Grand Prix (which includes a sprint race) in early October, at the end of which he would need a 146-point lead.

When is the next race?

The 15th round of the 2023 Formula 1 season is the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. It takes place from Friday September 15 to Sunday September 17.

How many F1 races will there be in 2023?

With the postponement and likely cancellation of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, there will be 22 races on the calendar this year, starting in Bahrain on March 5 and culminating with the season finale in Abu Dhabi on November 26.

What are the new races in 2023?

The all-new Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the penultimate race of the season, one week before Abu Dhabi.

Where and when will the six sprint races take place this year?

Formula 1 has announced the six sprint venues for 2023, with Azerbaijan, Belgium, the Austin race in the United States and Qatar all joining Austria and Brazil.

The format was changed this year, however, with the sprint almost becoming a standalone event (albeit with championship points) on Saturday.

Previously there had been qualifying on Friday to establish the sprint grid for Saturday, with the result of the sprint race then establishing the grid for Sunday.

In 2023, however, Friday qualifying sets the grid for Sunday’s grand prix, while an additional sprint shootout (effectively a shortened three-part elimination qualifying session) sets the sprint grid. Both take place on Saturday.

The top eight drivers in the sprint race score points of eight for the winner and one for eighth. Again, sprint races will last around 100km, about a third of the distance of a grand prix.
