Formula 1 has announced the return of the Turkish Grand Prix from 2027 to 2031 at Istanbul Park under a new deal with the Turkish government. The race last took place in 2021. F1 said the move reflects growing interest in the sport in Turkey and its expansion into key global markets.
New Delhi, April 24: Formula 1 on Friday announced that the Turkish Grand Prix will return to the FIA Formula One World Championship from 2027, with Istanbul Park confirmed on the calendar through the 2031 season following a new agreement with Turkiye’s Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The Turkish Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) will be Formula 1’s delivery partner for future events. The Turkish Grand Prix was last staged in 2020 and 2021 when Sir Lewis Hamilton secured his seventh Drivers’ Championship in 2020 – equalling Michael Schumacher’s all-time record.
Istanbul Park first joined the Formula 1 calendar in 2005 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the championship’s most technically demanding tracks. The 5.33-kilometre layout features dramatic elevation changes that challenge both driver skill and car performance. The multi-apex turn 8 is an incredible test of driver precision and commitment, challenging their ability to maintain speed and balance through its long, sweeping left-hander.
The most recent winner at Istanbul Park was Valtteri Bottas in 2021 with Mercedes, who, alongside Sir Lewis Hamilton, is one of only two current drivers to have won the Turkish Grand Prix.
