China is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar for the first time since the pandemic in a major revision of the schedule for 2024.
The season starts with races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to be held on Saturdays, because of the impact of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
In the quest for greater sustainability, the Japanese race moves to 7 April from its usual autumn date.
And Azerbaijan will be twinned with Singapore in September.
The calendar features what would be a record 24 races – exactly the same number as were due to be held this year before the cancellation of the Chinese and Emilia-Romagna Grands Prix.
Pre-season testing is due to be held in Bahrain on 21-23 February but those dates are still subject to approval from the FIA world motorsport council.
