With the instability in the Middle East due to the Iran war, the 2027 FIA Formula 1 calendar may or may not have any Middle East races on it. So we developed two possible calendars – one assuming the four Middle East races will happen and one without any Middle East races. Both 2027 calendars assume a 24-race schedule.

Alternate 2027 Formula 1 Calendar
(Middle East races removed due to the Iran conflict: no Bahrain, Saudi Arabian, Qatar or Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. Testing also relocated for the same reason.)
The calendar retains 24 Grands Prix, preserves as many original dates and geographical clusters as possible, prioritizes logical travel flows, and respects weather constraints for the replacement venues (Zandvoort – added back even though 2026 supposed to be last year, Imola – added back as a fill-in, South Korea – assumes deal can be signed and South Africa – assumes deal can be signed). We did not use Hockenheim as a replacement due to weather and calendar restraints.

Key scheduling rationale
– South Africa (Kyalami) opens the season in its late-summer window—warm, dry, and free of the southern-hemisphere winter cold that would make a mid-year date unsuitable.
– South Korea slots into the Asian swing in mid-April, when temperatures are mild and the risk of heavy summer rain or humidity is minimal.
– Imola is placed immediately after Monaco in mid-June: comfortable late-spring conditions, minimal extreme heat, and a natural European triple-header flow.
– Zandvoort sits in mid-July, the warmest and statistically driest period on the Dutch coast, avoiding the cooler, wetter shoulder seasons.
– Early-season flyaways remain grouped (Africa → Australia → East Asia). European races stay tightly clustered through the summer. The Americas and final flyways are unchanged.
– The season ends in mid-November after Las Vegas, avoiding any need for late-year races in regions that would be too cold (northern Europe) or logistically affected by the regional conflict.
