Stefano Domenicali hints at return of much-loved F1 race for 2027: ‘Stay tuned’
Fan favourite F1 track could return sooner than we think
- Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has hinted that Turkey is set to return to the racing calendar, potentially for 2027.
- Istanbul Park, which last hosted a Grand Prix in 2021, is favoured as a traditional track, aligning with F1's preference for heritage circuits over new street races.
- The sport's calendar will not expand beyond 24 races, meaning new additions will replace existing events, with Zandvoort's Dutch Grand Prix concluding this year.
- While other nations like South Africa and South Korea are interested, their inclusion is unlikely before 2029 due to the need for new infrastructure.
- Domenicali also discussed potentially doubling sprint races and urged calm regarding the new 2026 engine and chassis regulations, despite criticism from drivers.
