Every track on the Formula 1 calendar, ranked

Singapore - Marina Bay Street Circuit

The original night race, Singapore offers an exciting circuit set against a backdrop of city lights and fireworks.

Its intense humidity and unforgiving layout challenge even the best teams, often delivering unpredictable races.

Monza - Monza Circuit

Known as The Temple of Speed, Monza is as iconic as it gets. Still the fastest track on the calendar, a victory here - especially in front of the passionate Italian crowd - is every Ferrari driver's dream.

Las Vegas - Las Vegas Strip Circuit

One of the newest circuits on the calendar, Las Vegas is still proving itself, but early signs suggest it could be the best recent addition. The first two races have been action-packed, and the spectacle of racing past the Sphere and down the Strip makes it a must-watch event.

Sao Paulo - Interlagos

Known as The Temple of Speed, Monza is as iconic as it gets. Still the fastest track on the calendar, a victory here - especially in front of the passionate Italian crowd - is every Ferrari driver's dream.

Bologna - Imola

As the cars wind through the Parco delle Acque Minerali, the Italian track provides a stunning backdrop. The picturesque scenery is matched by the challenge of nineteen corners over 4.9km, keeping drivers on their toes.

Mexico City - The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

After a 23-year hiatus, the championship's return to Mexico was driven by the overwhelming demand and enthusiasm of its fans.

The electric crowd is renowned for getting incredibly close to the action, particularly around the Turn 12 stadium section.

Monaco - Circuit de Monaco

While Monaco may not deliver the most exciting racing, its iconic status is undeniable, even to those who aren't familiar with F1.

The narrow streets of Monaco make overtaking a challenge, but the stunning scenery and glamorous atmosphere elevate it to a must-see race.

Melbourne - Albert Park

It's hard to say whether Melbourne's Albert Park is exciting because of the track itself or because it kicks off the season.

Still, the vibrant crowd and the late Australian summer atmosphere make it a standout event on the calendar.

UK - Silverstone

In rural Northamptonshire, Silverstone remains one of the oldest and best circuits. Though its origins as an airfield don't make it the most visually striking, its history of unforgettable racing moments more than makes up for it.

Belgium - Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps

Spa's legendary status is cemented by Eau Rouge, widely regarded as one of the most iconic corners in F1 history, and the breathtaking views of the Belgian countryside.

However, with over 20 fatalities across various racing categories, the circuit's safety concerns have led to ongoing debates about its risks, casting a shadow over its reputation.

Baku - Baku City Circuit

Among all the street circuits, Baku stands out for its stunning scenery, iconic castle section, and challenging, accident-prone 90-degree corners, making it one of the most unique tracks in F1.

Austria - Red Bull Ring

Austria's simple layout offers surprisingly thrilling racing, with The Sound of Music hillsides as a backdrop and fast, challenging corners.

Austin - Circuit of the Americas

Designer Hermann Tilke combined the best sections of tracks from around the world to create a super-circuit, delivering great racing down in the American South.

Netherlands - Zandvoort

Zandvoort's appeal has soared thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen's success, with passionate fans and the nearby beach adding to the excitement of the race.

Montreal - Circuit Gilles Villenueve

The Wall of Champions, a notorious challenge at the final chicane, has brought unpredictability to many races, adding to oftentimes rainy Canadian excitement.

Hungary - Hungaroring

Although it consistently delivers good-to-great races, the circuit and atmosphere have yet to establish themselves as F1 staples, despite being on the calendar since 1986.

Barcelona - Circuit de Catalunya

Once a key F1 testing venue, the Barcelona circuit has had its time, with the Spanish Grand Prix set to move to Madrid in 2026.

Shanghai - Shanghai International Circuit

After four years away, the Shanghai circuit's impact was uncertain, but its ambitious design and grand scale delivered an exciting race in its first year back.

Bahrain - Bahrain International Circuit

Another night race and another Hermann Tilke design - though not the standout in either category.

Jeddah - Jeddah Corniche Circuit

With 27 corners, the Saudi Arabian track is one of the most dangerous on the calendar, as flagged by drivers like Max Verstappen - a concern reinforced by Mick Schumacher's brutal 2022 crash.

Miami - Miami International Autodrome

Unlike other American races, the Miami track fell short with a lacklustre circuit, a disengaged crowd, and a fake marina made of plywood.

Abu Dhabi - Yas Marina

Despite being the season finale, the venue lacks excitement, featuring a tedious, slow layout on an artificial island.

Doha - Lusail International Circuit

Doha is arguably one of the most dangerous and unnecessary circuits, with a history of unexpected punctures and extreme temperatures that have caused drivers to faint, vomit in their helmets, and retire from the race.
