LOOKING HEAD: Shanghai is Thursday with the Heineken Chinese Grand Prix. Porsche Carrera Cup, SRO Greater Bay Area GT3, and F1 Academy (F4 women’s championship) are the support races. No F2 or F3.
Theoretically, F1 could also move the shutdown in August to April during the month without any races and add two European races. Portugal (which has a 2027 contract) could be added.
