The push it seems is very much on from the Chinese Grand Prix to return to the F1 calendar in 2024. ✍️ Formula_Nerds
After four years off the Formula 1 calendar, it is understood that the government in Shanghai is “desperate” for the F1 grid to return to China.According to Mark Dreyer of, China are looking to return back to normality following their nationwide removal of the ‘zero-covid policy’. In an effort to control the spread of the virus, the government had imposed a strict regime which included the restriction of international events throughout the country.
, and other sporting events such as the Asian Games have already been confirmed to take place on the mainland.“I will be staggered if there is not a race next year.”It is believed that the Shanghai government had attempted to get ready for an F1 return this year, but the FIA decided to omit China from the 2023 calendar.
This has eroded away their efforts to open up for international business, including getting the country back on the F1 calendar. This is despite the country abandoning testing, mandatory mask-wearing and extra airport check-in requirements. “No one really knows what the numbers were in terms of cases or deaths or any of that kind of thing, and so there was a huge amount of uncertainty.”
