List of Formula One circuits

Formula One (F1) is the highest class of single-seater motor racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The Formula One World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as , usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships, one for drivers (World Drivers' Championship), and one for constructors (World Constructors' Championship).

This list is for the circuits that hosted World Championship races from 1950 until now.

History

The first World Championship Grand Prix was held in at Silverstone; since then 77 circuits in total have hosted a Grand Prix. A lot of classic (older) circuits have hosted using different configurations throughout their history: Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, etc. Taking Nürburgring as an example, the World Championship race there used the configuration nine times, ending after reigning world champion Niki Lauda's near-fatal accident in 1976, cementing concerns over safety that resulted in more recent using shorter, safer circuits. Formula One circuits were predominantly in Europe during the early years of the championship; as the sport has expanded, so has the location of its circuits. The expansion into Asia and America has been a recent occurrence. Of the 20 circuits that hosted a Grand Prix in , nearly half were not on the calendar before . The Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the most World Championship races; the only season it did not host a race was in , when the Italian Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The Las Vegas Strip Circuit became the 77th circuit to host a Grand Prix, when it held the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023; this is the latest addition to this list. The longest circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix is the Pescara Circuit, which hosted the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix: the long circuit in Pescara, Italy, held the annual Coppa Acerbo race, and in it was the only time that this race was included as part of the World Championship, a race which Stirling Moss won.

As some circuits have hosted using different configurations, the most recent configuration used is listed in the table below.

Circuits

+ Key * Current circuits (for the season) Future and returning circuits (for the season)

The "Circuit" column uses the name contemporary to the last time the circuit was used in Formula One. The "Map" column shows a diagram of the latest configuration on current tracks and the last configuration used on past tracks. The "Type" column refers to the type of circuit: "street" is a circuit held on closed city streets, "road" refers to a mixture of public roads and a permanent track, and "race" is a permanent facility. The "Last length used" shows the track length for the configuration that was used last time the Formula One race was held on a given track. The "Direction" column shows the direction for the configuration that was used last time the Formula One race was held on a given track. The turns column shows the number of turns for the configuration that was used the last time a Formula One race was held on a given track. The table is accurate as of the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix.
