F1 is not replacing the Chinese GP and there will be 23 Grands Prix in 2023

Formula 1 announced on Tuesday that it will not replace the Chinese Grand Prix, which will not be held for the fourth consecutive year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and, therefore, the 2023 campaign calendar will have 23 races.

In December, when the appointment in China was cancelled, F1 left open the possibility of finding a replacement to reach 24 races, in what would be the longest calendar in the history of the competition, but, in the end, it did not turn out that way.

});

This decision leaves a gap in the calendar from April 2, when the Australian GP race is held, until the 28th of the same month, when the Azerbaijan GP begins.

A season that starts on March 2 at the Sakir circuit (Bahrain) and ends on November 26 in Abu Dhabi and where Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) will defend the world champion crown he won for the second consecutive year.
