PARIS \u2014 Portugal will return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2027 and 2028, replacing the Dutch Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
The Algarve International Circuit near Portim\u00e3o previously hosted F1 in 2020 and 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
The two-year deal brings the series back to Portugal after a six-year absence.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe circuit delivers on-track excitement from the first corner to the checkered flag, and its energy lifts fans out of their seats,” F1 president Stefano Domenicali said on Tuesday. “I look forward to working together again to ensure that Portim\u00e3o returns to the calendar in emphatic style.\u201d<\/p>\n
Portugal’s first F1 race was in Porto in 1958 but was discontinued shortly after. Estoril hosted grands prix from 1984-96, and was where Ayrton Senna claimed his first victory.<\/p>\n
Lewis Hamilton won both pandemic races in Portim\u00e3o and\u00a0surpassed Michael Schumacher’s record\u00a0of all-time wins with his 92nd victory in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PARIS \u2014 Portugal will return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2027 and 2028, replacing the Dutch Grand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-349247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-formula-1","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-f1","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-formula1","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
