Read our Privacy noticeAustralia hosted the opening race of the Formula 1 season this year – with no new races once again on the calendar. Australia staged the first race of the season on Sunday 16 March - two weeks later than the 2024 start date. The 2025 British Grand Prix takes place on 4-6 July at Silverstone. Pre-season testing will remain in Bahrain, two weeks prior to the first race, with three days of running on 26-28 February. 2026 is set to be different, though, with Madrid already confirmed as the new home of the Spanish Grand Prix, meaning 2025 could be the last year Barcelona hosts an F1 race.
