JAKARTA - The organizers of Formula 1 have released a race schedule for the 2023 season. This schedule has also been approved by the International Automotive Federation (FIA).

The latest schedule also makes F1 now break a new record. The reason, the race next season will be held 24 series in one season.

"The presence of 24 races on the 2023 FIA F1 World Championship calendar is further testament to the growth and appeal of this sport on a global scale," FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said on the official F1 website.

The addition of a new arena and the preservation of a number of old circuits, according to Ben Sulayem, confirms the good sport management of the FIA.

As is known, there are some new things. For example, Las Vegas will make its debut with a night race.

Then there was the Monaco Grand Prix which had threatened to be eliminated from the "land jet" race.

Bahrain will be the series opener on March 5, while Abu Dhabi will retain the honor of being the season-ending series on November 26.

Qatar is back on the calendar occupying the October 8 slot. The Middle Eastern country will not hold an F1 race this year because it is preparing to host the World Cup.

China is also back on the calendar despite the uncertainty about the impact of COVID-19 restrictions in the country.

The motorway circuit in Monte Carlo, Monaco, will be busy and noisy on May 28 as the eighth series and form part of the triple header between Imola and Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France, will not be part of next season's calendar as previously announced.

Next year's season calendar is also designed to avoid clashing with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary on June 10-11 next year.
