Formula One to stage first Qatar Grand Prix in November before 10-year deal

The race will take place at Losail International Circuit, 20 miles outside of Doha on 21 November with Qatar joining the F1 calendar in a 10-year deal from 2023. F1 said: “We are very grateful to the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation and the Qatari authorities for their enthusiasm and support in hosting a race this season, at short notice. “We are also very appreciative of their efforts to ensure the race can take place in November at the Losail International Circuit. Drivers and their teams should be prepared to speak out about human rights in Qatar in the lead-up to this race, doing their bit to break the spell of sportwashing and image management.”.
