Formula 1 will move the Canadian Grand Prix to a new slot in May from 2026 in an effort to cut down on travel and its environmental impact.

F1 makes 2026 calendar change for Canadian Grand Prix - The sport is regionalising the schedule in order to improve its carbon footprint and sustainability

Montreal date change means it can be linked with Miami and avoid short spring criss-crossing of the Atlantic from 2026 F1 season

The Montreal race, a staple on the calendar, usually takes place in June, in the middle of a run of European races - before Spain and after Monaco. But that will no longer be the case.

The Canadian Grand Prix will be staged earlier in the year from 2026 than has been customary in recent years. F1 aims to avoid interrupting the European season and thus reduce the number of flight kilometres.

A top Formula 1 pundit has opened up on the possibility of a major change being introduced to the calendar. With just three races remaining, the 2024 campaign is fast approaching its conclusion, but thoughts are already now turning to the future as the sport looks to win new fans from across the world.
