Formula One (F1) is a type of open-wheel car racing that is widely considered to be the pinnacle of motorsports. The cars used in F1 races are some of the fastest and most technologically advanced in the world, and the races themselves are typically held on purpose-built tracks or on city streets.

However, for those seeking the pinnacle of luxury and exclusivity, the allure lies in the realm of the most expensive F1 tickets.

In this article, we delve into the world of Formula One’s costliest tickets, exploring the opulent perks they offer and the breathtaking moments they promise to deliver to the fortunate few who can afford them.

The F1 World Championship is a season-long competition that consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held on tracks around the world. The driver and team that accumulate the most points over the course of the season are crowned world champions.

F1’s calendar for next year is set to feature 23 races – one more than the sport has ever hosted before – while there are still conversations ongoing for replacing the Chinese GP, which was due for April 16 but has been cancelled.

In the meantime, the FIA has formally confirmed the start times for all sessions.

Notable timings include the Miami GP being a 8.30pm race start for UK audiences and another US race, the Las Vegas GP, taking place locally on a Saturday night along the famous strip.

It is F1’s first Saturday race since the 1985 South African GP although with the time difference, it will be a 6am start on Sunday in the UK.

With a Saturday race, first and second practice are taking place on Thursday in Vegas while final practice and qualifying are on the Friday, which like the race will actually be an early start for the UK the following morning.
