Formula 1 circuit list

The world of Formula 1 is a high-octane symphony, an exhilarating dance of man and machine. Since 1950, drivers have been taming steel beasts on circuits that inspire awe and challenge skill. As the seasons evolved, so did the racetracks, reflecting the ever-changing heartbeat of F1.

From the classic European tracks to daring street races in the heart of bustling cities, the F1 landscape is a diverse tapestry. Permanent circuits offer consistency, while street circuits demand adaptability. In each, a whisper of history lingers, memories of daring overtakes and glorious victories.

High-speed straights demand courage, while tight corners whisper caution. It is in these spaces that legends are born and dreams are shattered.

Yet, time has seen some tracks fade into the rearview mirror. Modern safety standards have outgrown the old guard, while others have fallen victim to the relentless march of progress. Their ghosts remain, a testament to the ever-evolving nature of F1.
