Twenty three.
This is the figure to remember for the next Formula 1 season, which corresponds to the number of races planned for the year 2021. This is a record since the launch of the F1 championship in 1950. In recent years, Formula 1 had stabilized at 21 Grands Prix, with the exception of the 2020 season truncated by the Covid-19 pandemic, and limited to 17 races.
Among this year's cancellations was the French Grand Prix on the Paul-Ricard circuit at Le Castellet.
He will make his comeback next year, June 27 at the height of the season.

The calendar remains provisional since the location of race number 4 has not yet been decided.
It was supposed to be the Vietman Grand Prix in Hanoi, already canceled last April and whose grand opening has been postponed again.
But there will be something new: the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, scheduled in the country's second largest city, Jeddah, on November 28.
The season will end the following week in Abu Dhabi, on the Yas Marina circuit.
The start of this 2021 exercise will take place in Melbourne (Australia), as tradition dictates, on March 21.
The Monaco Grand Prix is set for May 23.
