Formula 1 has just confirmed the last four races of the 2020 calendar. The Turkish Grand Prix will return to Bahrain International Circuit for a double Grand Prix. The season will then traditionally end in Abu Dhabi.

Formula 1 returns to Istanbul- It’s official! The Turkish Grand Prix will return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2020. The circuit in Istanbul was a favourite circuit of many Formula 1 fans between 2005 and 2011 and will return this year.

The Formula 1 calendar gets more and more shape during the season. In the meantime, six races have been held in the season, but the calendar is not yet completely filled. However, Formula 1 has now filled the gap between Imola and the previously predicted races in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi with a race in Turkey.

The Turkish Grand Prix made its debut in 2005 and was immediately well received. Kimi Raikkonen won the very first race, but it was mainly Felipe Massa who enjoyed the Istanbul Park Circuit. He won three times in a row between 2006 and 2008 and is therefore a record holder. After his victories Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel won the last three races.
