The schedule was approved by a meeting of the FIA’s world motor sport council on Tuesday. This year F1 is to host 22 races but with new meetings being added as the sport enjoys a surge in popularity across the world, it will attempt to hold the most extensive season in the sport’s history in 2023. The F1 CEO, Stefano Domenicali, also said this year he believed the number was as high as the sport should go. “Formula 1 has unprecedented demand to host races and it is important we get the balance right for the entire sport,” he said.
