F1 announces 2027 calendar - with Monaco among 10 sprint races

F1 has unveiled its 24-race calendar for the 2027 season, increasing the number of sprint weekends to 10, as it kicks off the season in Bahrain and finishes in Abu Dhabi.

The 2027 season is slated to get underway on 14 March with the Bahrain Grand Prix, which returns to its usual opener slot as a double-header with Saudi Arabia, while Melbourne's Australian Grand Prix becomes the third event on the calendar.

Following events in Japan and China, F1 heads to Miami and Montreal in May. The two events remain three weeks apart, but Canada's 23 May date means the race won't clash with IndyCar's Indy 500.
