F1 2023: Full race schedule and how to watch on TV



Max Verstappen’s win at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix means he carries a healthy advantage in the standings into the fourth round of the season. 

The double world champion has won two rounds and finished second in the other to get his title defence off to a fantastic start and will be heavy favourite to take a third successive drivers’ title. 

After a poor start to 2023 Mercedes found some pace in Melbourne but still trail Aston Martin in the standings by nine points. Ferrari, who failed to score any points in Australia have just 26 points from the first three rounds. 

When is the next race?

After a 26-day break, F1will be in first practice at the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku on 28 April, with the F1 sprint race on Saturday 29 April.

How many F1 races will there be in 2023?

There will be 23 races on the calendar this year, starting in Bahrain on March 5 and culminating with the season finale in Abu Dhabi on November 26.

What new races are there in 2023?

The brand new Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the penultimate race of the season, a week before Abu Dhabi.

Where and when will the six sprint races be this year?

Formula One has announced the six sprint venues for 2023 with Azerbaijan, Belgium, the Austin race in the United States and Qatar all joining Austria and Brazil in staging qualifying on Friday and a shortened ‘sprint’ race on Saturday. However, there are talks about changing this format, possibly even in time for the Baku race. 

Under the existing plans points are given to the top eight drivers in the sprint race. Again, the sprint races will be approximately 100km – or roughly a third of a grand prix distance – and will run on Saturday, with the traditional three-part qualifying setting the grid for the sprint and taking place on the Friday.

The driver who tops qualifying on Friday, when these sprint races take place, will be awarded the official pole position, not the winner of the sprint, as was the case in 2021.

Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes asks court to remain free until appeal ruling

Image
Pregnant Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes has asked a court to allow her to remain free until there is a decision in her appeal against her conviction and 11-year prison sentence.  Holmes, 38, was sentenced in November after being convicted at trial of defrauding investors. She is appealing the conviction and sentence in the U.S. Court of Appeals, seeking a new trial and citing 10 reasons why her request should be granted, Mercury News  reported. In her bid to remain free, Holmes’ legal team said in a court filing – filed last week in the US District Court in San Jose – that she was found guilty only on charges of defrauding investors, not on the charges of defrauding patients.    Holmes, who is a mother of one, is pregnant with her second child and is due to give birth before she is set start serving her prison sentence on April 27.   Elizabeth Holmes has asked a court to allow her to remain free until a ruling is reached in her ap...

Clarence Avant's political power: The 'Black Godfather' had the ear of three presidents

Image
As Clarence Avant headed into the hills north of Sunset Boulevard one night in the 1970s, a Beverly Hills police officer pulled him over for speeding. Avant told the officer he was headed to his home in Trousdale Estates. The officer was dubious. The Beverly Hills neighborhood, one of the most exclusive in the country, was almost entirely white. Avant was Black. “Look, I gotta hurry up,” Avant said. “Jimmy Carter is coming to my house.” Now even more skeptical, the police officer said he would follow Avant home and write him a ticket — or maybe a few — once they got there. When the officer arrived and, stunned, saw the cul-de-sac swarming with Secret Service agents, he let Avant off the hook. The story, recounted by two of Avant’s close friends, showed how a man known mostly as a barrier-breaking music executive also moved in some of the country’s most powerful political circles. Avant’s death last month at 92 spurred an outpouring of tributes from celebrities as varied as ...
