The motorsport of Formula 1 has never been more popular, and with its increased popularity it’s no surprise that so many different countries and venues are trying to be part of the action. With an astonishing 24 different tracks on the 2025 season calendar, it’s about as full as it can possibly get. It doesn’t matter if you’re interested because you wanna book a ticket, or just because you want to find some interesting tracks for F1 betting, you should still find some good use out of this list as we cover some of the most iconic (and some of the most underrated) tracks that can be found on this years F1 race schedule.
The F1 Australian Grand Prix (Albert Park)
Starting off fittingly with the first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix is hosted on the street circuit of Albert Park in Melbourne. Australia has for some time been the traditional starting Grand Prix, with Bahrain taking its place for some time before Australia was returned to the first spot. Kicking off the season, it’s more than deserving of its spot, as it’s hosted some excellent races and intense moments over the years. One recent example is the controversial Alonso penalty after he allegedly brake-checked George Russell in the final lap of the race.
Overall, the Australian Grand Prix makes an especially good candidate for betting on sites like Stake due to the fact that it takes place after a long winter break of teams completely revamping and reinventing their cars. The result of who wins often ends up being a team that simply didn’t have the car to do so last year, so riskier and more far off bets with higher payouts may end up paying off.
The F1 British Grand Prix (Silverstone)
Located about in the middle of the season, the British Grand Prix (and by extension, the Silverstone track) has garnered an insane amount of popularity over the years that it’s been hosted on the race calendar. It’s a very unique track with some iconic turns that have been host to some truly special moments in the sport’s history. However, due to its sheer popularity, tickets for Britain often fetch a very high price. Still, if you can afford it, the British Grand Prix won’t disappoint, and it will likely remain on the race schedule for years to come due to its close proximity to most of the headquarters of the various teams competing in Formula 1.
The F1 Belgian Grand Prix (Spa)
One of the most popular tracks to ever grace the calendar is without a doubt the Belgian Grand Prix. It’s hosted on the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, which is itself famous in motorsport due to its layout and popular twists and turns. The section of the track comprising Raidillon and Eau Rouge (altogether often just called Eau Rouge for short) is one of if not the most popular sections of track in all of motorsport. Additionally, the Kemmel Straight that follows it, as well as other turns such as Turn 12 (Pouhon) are legendary parts of motorsport in their own right that all together comprise one of the most historically important tracks to ever be built.
The two F1 Italian Grand Prix (Imola and Monza)
Italy is somewhat unique in that it hosts multiple Grands Prix, though one is more popular than the other. The more well-known one, Monza, is nicknamed “The Temple of Speed”. This is admittedly because it often just feels like three straight sections stitched together, which isn’t that far from the truth. Still, the fact that the layout of the track is the way that it is definitely provides for a unique experience and you often won’t see the Formula 1 cars get much faster than at Monza.
Imola, on the other hand, has a much more conventional race track layout, though it is still quite unique in its own right. It’s hosted many memorable races over the years, both good and bad. It, unfortunately, served as the location in which famous driver Ayrton Senna, unfortunately, passed away after losing control of his car and colliding with a wall. A statue of Senna can be seen outside of the track in honor of one of the best drivers to have ever gotten behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car.
The American trio of Grands Prix (Austin, Miami, and Las Vegas)
The United States of America is the only country aside from Italy to currently host more than one Grand Prix within its borders in a single season. The first Grand Prix to be hosted in the U.S. was the United States Grand Prix located in Austin, Texas. It’s located at the popular C.O.T.A. (Circuit of the Americas) race track, which has proven as quite a good layout over the 13 years that it’s been on the F1 calendar. While the race in Austin still retains the official name of the United States Grand Prix, two other grand prix in the US have since been added to the calendar, with even more than that having been rumored in the past years.
The Miami Grand Prix is a street circuit grand prix that has been hosted at the Miami International Autodrome since 2022. It provides some unique tight twists and turns which make for close racing. Additionally, the elevation at times changes quite steeply, making the drivers pay extra attention to not lose control of their cars. Even though F1 has only visited the circuit four times, it’s been host to iconic moments such as Max Verstappen’s passing of Sergio Perez in 2023 and Lando Norris’ first win in 2024. Norris in particular struggled with obtaining his first Grand Prix win, and notoriously bottled quite a few chances that he had in order to have done it earlier. Miami served as a turnaround for Norris and he’s since picked up the pace big time (Additionally thanks to the improvements that McLaren’s car has recently seen). Currently, he’s in a title fight with Oscar Piastri for the 2025 season.
The third and final American Grand Prix to be added to the calendar is the Las Vegas Grand Prix. It initially had a bit of drama tied to it due to the unconventional shape of the track. It looks almost rectangular in shape, and most expected the race to be quite boring, not to mention unnecessary. However, it has since proven to be quite the opposite, hosting some really close and entertaining races. The Las Vegas GP was first held in 2023, with an intense battle between the at-the-time dominant Red Bulls and the underdog Ferraris. In 2024 it saw Mercedes pull out a 1-2 Victory, with George Russell winning the race, and Lewis Hamilton coming in second. Vegas has however also suffered some issues with its ticket prices. It notoriously has the most expensive tickets of any F1 race, with general admission having started at $500 US. Because of the admittedly outrageous pricing, the organizers have at times been forced to sell off remaining tickets at a discount in order to fill seats at the last minute. Additionally, Security guards patrol the premises around the track while the cars are out on it. This has sparked concerns over whether Formula 1 is overreaching and abusing the power it has, and whether it should even be legal for people to be shooed away from what is otherwise public property.
The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is one that is held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. It was first hosted in 2017, and has since become a favorite among many for its layout, scenery, and drama that has transpired between drivers on the track. It’s hosted on the Baku City Circuit, which features beautiful architecture. Famously, part of the track passes by an ancient castle that the city has been built around, leaving the historical landmark intact and prominently visible right next to the circuit. Additionally, the track’s main straight is the longest on the current calendar, and has been host to all-time speed records for F1 cars. Additionally, the track has been host to some feisty moments between drivers, like the brake check incident between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, which earned Vettel a 5-second time penalty. Or the disastrous collision between both of Red Bull’s cars back in 2018, piloted by Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. Long-time Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc also had an incident in qualifying in which he crashed into a wall at one of the first turns in his attempted qualifying lap.
The F1 Singapore Grand Prix
The most famous night race in Formula 1 is the F1 Singapore Grand Prix. It all took place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and was the first race to take place at night. Lit up by rows and rows of lights, the track itself is quite strange in nature, featuring many shorter straight sections that are often connected by harsh angles, forcing the drivers to be quite hard on their brakes and tires. Regardless, it’s proven very popular and was most recently host to Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz’s master tactic of cleverly utilizing the DRS system in order to keep Lando Norris behind him. Carlos ended up winning the race, with Lando coming in second place, they both successfully defended the Mercedes cars of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who were attempting to overtake both in order to secure the win for the Mercedes F1 Team. The most recent race in Singapore saw Lando Norris take the win, with Max Verstappen coming in second and Oscar Piastri coming in third place.
The F1 Canadian Grand Prix
The Canadian Grand Prix is hosted at the famous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. It’s rightfully named after the Canadian racing driver and Formula 1 champion who unfortunately lost his life in the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix. The circuit is in quite a scenic location and has been home to plenty of high-octane racing for a long time. It’s also home to the so-called “Wall of Champions”, which is the wall located around the exit of the final corner. It’s named that way due to the number of world champions who have all seemingly clumsily crashed into it, despite otherwise being some of the best and most talented experts to ever touch the sport. Champions who have crashed into the wall include Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel. Additionally, many non-champion (yet still quite talented) drivers have crashed into the famous wall, including Juan Pablo Montoya, Carlos Sainz, Rubens Barrichello, and Kamui Kobayashi.
The F1 Spanish Grand Prix
While it’s currently being hosted at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, the Spanish Grand Prix is notable due to the fact that it will be moving to a street circuit in Madrid for 2026. The decision is seen by many as not very well thought out due to the cramped and strange-looking nature of the new circuit, but the organizers of the event claim that the circuit is willing and ready to host an exciting race next year. However, even on the official YouTube channel of the organizers, a simulated F1 car can be shown struggling to even make it through the track layout as it’s currently planned. Whether changes will be made from now until the race happens next year remains to be seen, but not many seem too confident about the long-term prospects of Madrid and Formula 1. However, many had similar feelings about Las Vegas and that race ended up going quite well, so it remains that anything is possible.
The F1 Brazilian Grand Prix
Fittingly, the last one to be covered is the Brazilian Grand Prix. Famously held in Interlagos, São Paulo, the track has in past years served as the definitive finale on the F1 calendar. Quite a few title fights over the years have been decided at Interlagos, such as Alonso’s 2006 Victory over Schumacher, Raikkonen’s shock title win in 2007 over the two McLarens, and Vettel’s triumph over Alonso in 2012. Unfortunately, while the Brazilian GP is still on the calendar (under the name “São Paulo Grand Prix”), it’s no longer the iconic final race it once was and is currently the 21st out of 24 races. The 22nd is Las Vegas, the 23rd is Qatar, and the 24th is Abu Dhabi. It’s speculated that richer nations such as the United States and the U.A.E. simply have more money to outbid nations like Brazil when it comes to hosting something as prestigious as the final F1 Grand Prix in a season.
