1. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Date: 8 December

The most anticipated race of the season is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, bringing the electric year to a close with a champion crowned in style. Now, Abu Dhabi is the traditional host of the season ending, and might be the future title-deciding race if anyone can keep Red Bull and Max Verstappen honest throughout the 2024 season, which we look at in our F1 2024 predictions. 

Not only is the race guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, but the venue is spectacular, offering stunning scenery as a backdrop to the iconic Yas Marina Circuit. See our full guide to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 to see what else is on offer.

2. Monaco Grand Prix

Date: 26 May

Renowned for being the most prestigious and famous event on the F1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix is held on one of the most glamourous cities in the world.

The first Monaco Grand Prix pre-dates the F1 championship, with the first race taking place in 1929. The Circuit de Monaco is a fan favourite, offering the ultimate challenge for drivers, with barriers just inches away throughout the lap. Qualifying at Monaco is more important than at any other venue due to the difficulties overtaking.

Beyond watching the nail-biting action from excellent seating and the superb hospitality with Spectate, you can join us in Monaco for a glamourous city break. Stay in luxurious accommodation just 10 minutes from the Old Town, and enjoy a trip to the French Riviera.

3. Singapore Grand Prix

Date: 22 September

The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most important events on the F1 calendar due to the significance of the Singapore stock exchange, as well as hosting the first ever F1 night race in 2008 when the event first appeared on the calendar.

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is another massive challenge for drivers, featuring walls that are a constant threat to drivers, however there is slightly more room for overtaking here than there is at the likes of Monaco. But beyond the track, the biggest challenge for drivers is the heat of the Lion City, with air temperatures of 30 degrees and temperatures in the cockpit rising as high as 60 degrees with the heat of the engines.

As an Authorised Partner for the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2024, Spectate can guarantee an exceptional weekend watching the tension from the grandstand, with excellent hospitality options and extensions to explore Singapore. If you’re feeling adventurous, choose to extend the Singapore Grand Prix with Bali, immersing in the Balinese culture and staying in the luxurious COMO Uma Ubud and COMO Uma Canggu.

4. British Grand Prix

Date: 7 July

July Silverstone hosted the first F1 race in 1950, making it one of the most legendary and classic races of the F1 calendar. Over the years, British drivers have done well on the Silverstone Circuit, with Lewis Hamilton holding the record of most British Grand Prix wins (eight) followed by another British racer, Jim Clark in second with five wins.

Watch the British Grand Prix to see drivers tackle one of the world’s fastest circuits, that offers high-octane action that is guaranteed to thrill spectators.

Take it to the next level and see it first-hand with Spectate. Join us on the trackside for luxury British Grand prix hospitality, and the option of a Grand Prix race and stay in Stratford-Upon-Avon and Oxford. 

5. Canadian Grand Prix

Date: 9 June

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Canada, is one of the most exciting races on the calendar, given the track layout which encourages overtaking. The wall on the outside of the final corner is called the ‘Wall of Champions’ which came from three of the four world champions crashing into it during the 1999 races. Plus, the Canadian Grand Prix has an evening time slot European time, which ensures high TV audience figures.

Alongside witnessing world-class racing, you can experience the vibrant city of Montreal and its welcoming atmosphere that you can explore with the Canadian F1 tickets.

With Spectate, you can pair your first-class Canadian Grand Prix hospitality with the option to extend the excitement by touring the highlights of Canada.

6. Italian Grand Prix

Date: 1 September

The Autodromo Nazionale di Monza is one of the oldest and most iconic racing circuits, which first held a race on the old, banked version of the circuit in 1922. The track has been on the F1 calendar since 1950, and throughout the F1 history it was only missing out once.

The Ferrari team has the most support here as they’re in front of its home fans (the tifosi), so you can expect to see a sea of red flags, especially if they win the race for the first time since 2019!

Witness the Italian Grand Prix to be in the heart of the celebrations and passionate support, watching the drivers challenge the ‘Temple of Speed’ with Spectate. We offer an Italian Grand Prix package that includes incredible trackside hospitality, luxurious accommodations, and the option of a Formula 1 Gran Premio d'Italia and Lake Como for an extraordinary extension. 

7. Belgian Grand Prix

Date: 28 July

Circuit Spa-Francorchamps at the Belgian Grand Prix is still one of the best circuit layouts, and a favourite with drivers thanks to its sweeping bends and notorious Eau Rouge corner which has caught countless drivers out over the years - there are no small crashes here. This old school track is located in the Ardennes region, where the wet weather is a constant threat to the drivers.

As well as watching the action from the Silver 3 Grandstand (situated at the beginning of the smooth Pouhon curve), you can venture into Aachen to enjoy some excitement after the races.

8. Las Vegas Grand Prix

Date: 23 November

Las Vegas first held a Grand Prix in 1981, but the event was a failure with a temporary circuit built in the Caesers Palace car park. The new street track first appeared on the F1 calendar in 2023 and has an incredible backdrop that features many of the iconic Las Vegas landmarks.

The racetrack at Las Vegas is already the biggest race on the calendar, after the F1 purchased a plot of land for the pit complex, near the circuit for $240 million prior to the first race. We can now look forward to the Las Vegas Grand Prix being in the F1 long-term. 

Why not see the brand-new circuit first-hand with Spectate this year? Discover the bright neon lights, buzzing casinos and world-class shows of Las Vegas in between race watching for an unforgettable 6 days.

9. United States Grand Prix

Date: 20 October

Austin, Texas is home to one of the best F1 tracks for overtaking, Circuit of the Americas. The track first appeared on the calendar in 2012, and almost always provides plenty of entertainment, with a turn that is similar to Maggotts/Becketts at Silverstone.

The United States Grand Prix is great to attend, as Austin is a fantastic holiday destination for explorers. As well as ultimate race watching at the Circuit of the Americas, you can see what Austin has to offer from, or extend your weekend with our United States Grand Prix and Scottsdale, Arizona package. 

10. Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Date: 19 May

Without a doubt, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari is one of the most naturally beautiful circuits on the F1 calendar, as it is surrounded by stunning scenery in the small town of Imola.

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix returned to the F1 calendar in 2020 after a 14-year absence. 2024 will be the 30th anniversary of the death of, Ayrton Senna, made a three-times world champion here in the 1994 race. The region will be marking the occasion with a range of tributes throughout the year, including tributes during the Grand Prix weekend.
