On the other hand, South Africa, although anticipated, is not on the program. As is now tradition, the championship would begin in Bahrain on March 5 and end in Abu Dhabi on November 26, a week after the highly anticipated Las Vegas meeting on Saturday, November 18.

It is once again the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola (Italy) which will open the European campaign, but much later than usual. The event would in fact be organized on May 21 to benefit from better weather conditions. It would be the first stage of an unprecedented Imola-Monaco-Barcelona triplet, with Spain usually preceding the meeting in the Principality.
The previous date of the Emilia-Romagna GP, in April, could be recovered by Baku in order to avoid the much-maligned Azerbaijan/Canada sequence of June. Finally, note that the Belgian Grand Prix has been brought forward to July; which could complicate the task of the Belgian promoter.
As expected, the French Grand Prix is unfortunately not on the program for the 2023 season.

Yes, the 24 hours of Le Mans are safe, the Belgian GP in July, perhaps less weather risk?! Why 2 GPs in Italy? As for optimizing travel, there is improvement (a little) but clearly it is the most difficult, because there are regions of the world where at certain periods the weather is not compatible with the organization of travel. a GP.

Azerbaijan, Miami and Emilia-Romagna then Spain, Canada and Austria before Japan, Qatar and the United States to close with Brazil, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi... there is still a lot of work to limit the carbon footprint of the great circus of Formula 1!
